A FBI agent has to capture a fugitive there will be loads of clues on the way and the player will have choices along the way to decide the ending of the game all choices will lead to a different ending. Throughout the levels the FBI agent will have many encounters and obstacles to face, the ending will be decided by the choices of the player. Different levels will unlock different locations unlocking different clues to uncovering the location of the fugitive.

I am going to make a game cover based off of the film ‘mean girls’ as I will portray the characters differently, one will be stereotyped as a ‘dumb ditsy blonde’ who’s outfit will emphasise her upper and bottom half of her body and the other as ‘strong hard working woman’ who is wearing baggier clothes which don’t hug to her physique claiming she does not feel the need to fit in to todays media based stereotype.

The game I have created is a first-person role-playing game, where the video game player has complete control over the storyline of the game.

The basic premise of the game is:

After a disastrous misunderstanding with the police, Andre Baker has to flee his hometown as a fugitive. The decisions and paths he takes whilst on the run are completely up to the game player, and there are hundreds of potential endings / paths which Andre could go down, contingent on the decisions the player makes. One storyline could feature Andre becoming a hardened criminal, whereas another could feature Andre turning himself in and facing the potentially serious charges posed against him in a court case.

My target audience will be men and women aged 15-30 , who are looking for a realistic, thought-provoking playing experience which focus’ on real-world issues such as racism and police brutality. By making the main character a minority, you give non – straight, white, male gamers a more relatable player to play with. Also, it allows the makers of the game to explore more unique storylines. This would be considered a radical approach because the main characters of video games are usually straight, white, men. 

The dominant signifier is a car. I made this my dominant signifier, because a car symbolises ‘freedom’ which is the title of my video game. The colour palette of my video game cover will mostly consist of blue’s and blacks

My intention for the games cover will be about something in the genre of a first-person shooter type game. I will make a main character to be represented for the game and will make a front-page cover, the age limit, company name and what console the game will be compatible with. It will also have a back page to show what’s the game looks like and what the story and whole game is all about.

I intend to create a games cover similar to the ones of games that I enjoy i.e., Destiny 2. I wish to create my own character to show off on the front with an original title. I want to create a back cover similar to those of other games with information and pictures to show buyers what the games will be about. I intend to have the main character as an iconic sign in the middle of the front cover with a bold title to catch the eye and set an atmosphere for the game, and have some images on the back with a small blurb to describe the game. I intend to represent both radical and reactionary views through different versions of the same games case – one where the protagonist is a man and one where the protagonist is a woman. The company creating my game would be bungie and the audience would be similar to that of destiny 2 as my game would be a sequel.

for my games cover i will have a title in bold and in japanese signifying the genre and idea for audience the game will be rated 16 due to violence and flashing images my back cover will have the summary of the game as well as images the company that would most likely make my game would be a company called miHoYo they specialise is animation games they are a chinese game company

for my front cover i will have a character holding a sword the game title underneath then have my age rating at the bottom as well as the companys that helped publish

the back cover will have 4 boxes they will have 4 different images of the game as well as the summary as well as the bar code with warnings- violence, flashing images

Statement of Intent:

My intentions of what I would like to produce as a video game cover is to create a Snowboarder game with men and women. For the reactionary cover, I am going to have a women of the cover (maybe with a man too) and have her snowboarding outfit tighter than the usual snow outfit, while making the men’s outfit your stereotypical baggy outfit.

In the reactionary cover, I will use symbolic signs such as different colours (blue for the sky) to represent the setting of the video game. I will use indexical signs for example, maybe a snowboard as a prop to show the very obvious link to snowboarding. I will also have trees in the background and snow to make the game more believable.
