Week 1

To start this week off I created a questionnaire to really find what my audience like and don't like. I shared this with 5 people and got very good results that I feel will help me throughout the making of my expansion

The first question was about age and I'm very happy with the result of this as all of the people are am questioning are in the same age group which is the same target audience I am aiming for.

The next question was about gender and for this it seems I have 4 males and one females and this might help me find out if different genders share different or similar ideas.

The next question was about their favourite game and i wasn't surprised about some of these as they are very popular games. However majority of these games have expansions which will help me see what they like and want from a game expansion

The next question was asking whether they use game expansions and for this I got a bit of a mixed bag with three people using them regularly one person using them sometimes and one person not using them at all.

Two people stated that they hadn't been let down by a game expansion before. One person said yes however didn't state which game they had been let down by and the last two people stated their game and their reason. Most of this data will help me decide on what people want and like however next time maybe I should word the question a bit better.

The results for this question were surprisingly consistent with two people answering in game items/purchases, 3 people answering more unlocks, 3 people answering story, and one answering gameplay. The results for this question will give me a very good idea to what people want to see.

4 people said that game expansions were a positive thing with 3 people stating that it adds more content and one stating that it may give another option to the the game. The only negative answer said that it encourages in game purchases. This has helped me realise that game expansions are a positive thing however in game purchases must be managed correctly.

4 people answered that they would spend £15-30 on a game expansion and one said they would spent £1-15. I'm really happy with the answers for this question as they give me a good idea to what people want a game expansion to cost.

For this question Two people answered about the cost, One answered about there being a lack of content, and two people answered about in game purchases however they shared different views as one wanted them and the other didn't. From these bunch of answers I can assume that in game purchases are very controversial and something that I may want to avoid or limit. Also the cost for the content given will be crucial as if it's very expensive people may not want to purchase it.

For my final question two people answered fortnite however would want the expansion to included different things as one person wanted a new map and the other person wanted more skins. One person answered fifa and they wanted a World Cup mode similar to the one released in fifa 18. The next person thinks that halo infinite should have a campaign extension and the final person thing minecraft should have an expansion however didn't state what they wanted to see. All these games are very popular and correlate to the earlier question I asked about favourite games so this should give me a good idea on what kind of game I want to expand upon.

Not many of the results were surprising to me and I'm very happy with how consistent they are as this has given me a very good overview on what my target audience like and do not like so I will use this information when I decide on how I'm going to do my game expansion.

The next thing I did this week was an animation practical workshop on a dinosaur. This task was completed on animate which I am very unfamiliar with as I have only used it once so this was a big learning opportunity for me and I feel like I took it.

To start I had to paste the 8 different pictures of the Dino in and this was made easier by pasting them in a bundle. I then cut the pictures of the Dino, created a movie clip and then paste the pictures of the Dino back. So far I was not having any problems. I then had to go back to scene one and paste the Dino again however the first time I tried this it didn't work so I took some steps back and found that I didn't make it a movie clip so after doing that it worked then I had to resize the Dino and insert the key frame. Finally between the two frames I created a classic tween which made the animation come together and make my Dino start running.

I'm really happy with how this task went as I was very unfamiliar with the program however I enjoyed using it and I was very happy with my result. To improve I feel I can make my Dino run for longer and also add a jumping animation in between.

The final thing I did this week was a Mind map of the assessment brief. I feel like I had to make a mind map of the assessment brief to fully understand what is being asked of me with this task. To complete this task I took key information and dates that were on the brief on put them in a mind map. I colour coded some boxes that I found had some sort of correlation to help me remember.

All in all I feel this week was very important for my progress as it taught me a lot about my audience and project as a whole whilst also learning a new program. This was a good first week and I'll definitely be looking back as the project continues to help me remember my project and the likes/dislikes of my audience.

Next week I want to look at some secondary research on the positives and negatives of game expansions in popular games.

Week 2) 17/01/21 - 21/01/21

To start this week off I took a look at some secondary research. I chose four games and found two reviews with different opinions about the game, these reviews were either positive or negative. I digested the reviews and gave my thoughts about all the points they brought up. at the end I compared two of the games that were in a similar genre, I compared the games similarities and differences in their positives and negatives.

This task was very interesting to me as it showed me a lot about game expansion that I previously didn't know such as how strict rules can be, even for video games, in different countries. this task will have a very large impact on my project as I now have more ideas on what people want to see and what they don't want to see.

I also recorded a group recording of a conversation me and three of my classmates had about our personal experiences of game expansions such as fortnite, COD, Spiderman and just how much game expansions have changed since the release of fortnite.

This task showed me that me and a lot of people share fairly similar views on DLCs and game expansions nowadays and how much they've changed.

The next thing I did this week was part of my practical workshop and it was looking at Metablobs in blender.

All these games are very popular and correlate to the earlier question I asked about favourite games so this should give me a good idea on what kind of game I want to expand upon.

Not many of the results were surprising to me and I'm very happy with how consistent they are as this has given me a very good overview on what my target audience like and do not like so I will use this information when I decide on how I'm going to do my game expansion.

The next thing I did this week was an animation practical workshop on a dinosaur. This task was completed on animate which I am very unfamiliar with as I have only used it once so this was a big learning opportunity for me and I feel like I took it.

To start I had to paste the 8 different pictures of the Dino in and this was made easier by pasting them in a bundle. I then cut the pictures of the Dino, created a movie clip and then paste the pictures of the Dino back. So far I was not having any problems. I then had to go back to scene one and paste the Dino again however the first time I tried this it didn't work so I took some steps back and found that I didn't make it a movie clip so after doing that it worked then I had to resize the Dino and insert the key frame. Finally between the two frames I created a classic tween which made the animation come together and make my Dino start running.

I'm really happy with how this task went as I was very unfamiliar with the program however I enjoyed using it and I was very happy with my result. To improve I feel I can make my Dino run for longer and also add a jumping animation in between.

The final thing I did this week was a Mind map of the assessment brief. I feel like I had to make a mind map of the assessment brief to fully understand what is being asked of me with this task. To complete this task I took key information and dates that were on the brief on put them in a mind map. I colour coded some boxes that I found had some sort of correlation to help me remember.

All in all I feel this week was very important for my progress as it taught me a lot about my audience and project as a whole whilst also learning a new program. This was a good first week and I'll definitely be looking back as the project continues to help me remember my project and the likes/dislikes of my audience.

Next week I want to look at some secondary research on the positives and negatives of game expansions in popular games.

Week 2) 17/01/21 - 21/01/21

To start this week off I took a look at some secondary research. I chose four games and found two reviews with different opinions about the game, these reviews were either positive or negative. I digested the reviews and gave my thoughts about all the points they brought up. at the end I compared two of the games that were in a similar genre, I compared the games similarities and differences in their positives and negatives.

This task was very interesting to me as it showed me a lot about game expansion that I previously didn't know such as how strict rules can be, even for video games, in different countries. this task will have a very large impact on my project as I now have more ideas on what people want to see and what they don't want to see.

I also recorded a group recording of a conversation me and three of my classmates had about our personal experiences of game expansions such as fortnite, COD, Spiderman and just how much game expansions have changed since the release of fortnite.

This task showed me that me and a lot of people share fairly similar views on DLCs and game expansions nowadays and how much they've changed.

The next thing I did this week was part of my practical workshop and it was looking at Metablobs in blender.

Week 1

To start this week off I created a questionnaire to really find what my audience like and don't like. I shared this with 5 people and got very good results that I feel will help me throughout the making of my expansion

The first question was about age and I'm very happy with the result of this as all of the people are am questioning are in the same age group which is the same target audience I am aiming for.

The next question was about gender and for this it seems I have 4 males and one females and this might help me find out if different genders share different or similar ideas.

The next question was about their favourite game and i wasn't surprised about some of these as they are very popular games. However majority of these games have expansions which will help me see what they like and want from a game expansion

The next question was asking whether they use game expansions and for this I got a bit of a mixed bag with three people using them regularly one person using them sometimes and one person not using them at all.

Two people stated that they hadn't been let down by a game expansion before. One person said yes however didn't state which game they had been let down by and the last two people stated their game and their reason. Most of this data will help me decide on what people want and like however next time maybe I should word the question a bit better.

The results for this question were surprisingly consistent with two people answering in game items/purchases, 3 people answering more unlocks, 3 people answering story, and one answering gameplay. The results for this question will give me a very good idea to what people want to see.

4 people said that game expansions were a positive thing with 3 people stating that it adds more content and one stating that it may give another option to the the game. The only negative answer said that it encourages in game purchases. This has helped me realise that game expansions are a positive thing however in game purchases must be managed correctly.

4 people answered that they would spend £15-30 on a game expansion and one said they would spent £1-15. I'm really happy with the answers for this question as they give me a good idea to what people want a game expansion to cost.

For this question Two people answered about the cost, One answered about there being a lack of content, and two people answered about in game purchases however they shared different views as one wanted them and the other didn't. From these bunch of answers I can assume that in game purchases are very controversial and something that I may want to avoid or limit. Also the cost for the content given will be crucial as if it's very expensive people may not want to purchase it.

For my final question two people answered fortnite however would want the expansion to included different things as one person wanted a new map and the other person wanted more skins. One person answered fifa and they wanted a World Cup mode similar to the one released in fifa 18. The next person thinks that halo infinite should have a campaign extension and the final person thing minecraft should have an expansion however didn't state what they wanted to see. All these games are very popular and correlate to the earlier question I asked about favourite games so this should give me a good idea on what kind of game I want to expand upon.

Not many of the results were surprising to me and I'm very happy with how consistent they are as this has given me a very good overview on what my target audience like and do not like so I will use this information when I decide on how I'm going to do my game expansion.
