Game Proposal Document
This document will be the closing capture statement of the Concept Development Phase. Requires customer approval.
Idea
This is a remake of the classic game Tetris. The only changes are it will be made in flash and support some of the newer rules. The goal of this game is to show case proper game development practices. Also, it will highlight some of the more esoteric steps.
High Concept
Tetris is awsome.
Target Market Segment Strategy
The software developers out there that are looking to understand a good game development process.
Game play
This is a casual game that most people already know about. It is a game that will not be revolutionising the industry but using a familar platform to show case how to build a game.
Features
This game is constructed on the original concept and will help allow the software developers that look at this project to better relate with the project. Instead of worring about how the gmae plays, choosing the tetris game will allow the developer focus on the process of creating this project.
Target Market
The target audience for the game. Who will want to buy it. Also include some historical references of the genre selling to said audience. Benefits of this game from the customers perspective (I'm not sure on vagaries with this one).
Target Hardware Platform
Identify the target hardware. If it is to be the PC identify hardware requirements to play the game.
Estimated Schedule and Budget
These are rough estimates based on the technical and art lead's opinions.
Competitive Analysis
Try to give a brief analysis on other games in this genre and how they compare to the one being proposed.
The Team
If it is to be marketed internally then state the skill set needed to complete this project(no names).
If it is to be marketed commercially (which it wont) then state the team with resume like information.
Risk Analysis
Identify any potential risks in developing the game and describe ways of mitigating them. These are software development risks.
Summary
Reiterate why this is a great game and why this team of people are the ones to create it. Also state something about how the game will potentially be a great hit through market stats.
Concept Art
Add concept art as an attachment. If it has a place within the document. put it there.
