Target Audience

Posted on December 20, 2024 by et4g23

Knowing who the target audience for my game is, is a key part to game development and design. As it will influence certain design choices and allow for a greater experience for a catered audience.

Although mechanically third-person, action-adventure games play smoother with a controller, the game will also be available on PC as well as 4th-Generation Xbox and PlayStation consoles. This is to further increase the player-base, as similar games like Elden Ring and Black Myth: Wukong have extremely large player counts on Steam. However, consoles like the Nintendo Switch will not have a port as the performance of the console would not result in a desirable experience for players.

The age range for this game will be [Mature 17+] (17-25) as the themes that are touched upon are quite mature and may disturb younger audiences. Player that enjoy story-heavy games and discovering the narrative such as Omori and Undertale will enjoy the narrative of the game. Yet players that enjoy fighting mechanics and boss fights such as Elden Ring and God of War (2018) will enjoy that aspect.
