For my video game cover that I have created is avoids the stereotypes of women in video games. The game is aimed for teenagers who are 16+ because of mild fantasy violence, mild language and suggestive themes. In the game a young female named Alice was captured by a gang of criminals but she finds away to escape. The game is based about surviving in the wilderness. From exploring temples to diving into to the deepest seas to fairies helping you through the enchanted forests. The character wears something a bit revealing but isn’t sexualised like most games. My idea of the game was to do something radical where the female isn’t the damsel in distress in this game and holding weapons that mostly male characters are seen holding in video games because they are know to be stereotypically strong.
The reason why I chose to do a female character instead of a male character is because most females in media are represented sexually to give satisfaction to the heterosexual male player. Most games enlarge the females breasts and butt and position them in an awkward angle, wearing tight or short clothing, my game I didn’t enlarge the breasts or butt to sexualise the character.
I think this is a positive game representation because my character is a strong independent female character which I haven’t over sexualized her. The female representation in my game game perfectly fits in with feminine frequency and Toril Mois analysis between female, feminine and feminist categories.
