There is plane crash, however you survive and you drift a shore onto a deserted island, your job is to create new ideas to try and get home, the ideas are not restricted so this means anything found on the island you can use.

Game Idea 2

Brief description of the game concept: This is a online multiplayerer game with a variety of 4 planets, you're living in a fantasy world with unrealistic features. You will first create your fantasy character, with basic clothing and will be given basic weapons. On each of the planets there will be a section for your character to walk into to start a mission, to fight off the aliens that are trying to take over that planet. On each of the planets you will have to adapt your character to the new environment. The planets will be underwater, desert, robotic and a planet that overlooks all of the other planets from inside a ship. Each planet will contain different missions and different monsters, through each mission you will gain points, supplies and money, which can be used to buy armour, upgrades and weapons. Gain more points to reach to a higher level and continue advancing your character.

Action role-playing

Hardware: 
The best possible hardware for this game would be Xbox/PlayStation, as this would be easier for people to access the online gameplay with the membership they will have purchased for their account. It's likely they will have access to a microphone to be able to communicate with online players, to help each other out throughout the game. It would be easier with the gameplay to control using a Xbox controller and a PlayStation controller, than a PC keyboard or iOS/Android.
Target Audience:
The target audience for the age of this game would be PEGI 12, this would be because the game wouldn't involve graphic violence as it would be all fantasy. The gender however wouldn't specify at a particular gender, although males would be more likely to play the game as the genre is action, which contains violence as males stereotypically enjoy more. Furthermore, females can play the game as there will be a gender choice and female options. Social Grade: ABC1 Competitive games:

This game would be pegi 12 as this game includes violence, however the violence is fantacy, this means that the violence shown wont be graphic. The as this game includes fantasy cartoon characters such as robots and aliens this game wont be using any brands or real people this means that we will not have to gain any copyright permissions.

Ethical –

This game does include Violence and Death, however this is not graphic as this game is fantasy which means it will not go in to detail of the gruesome violence. The violence and deaths will occur in each level as this is part of the narrative which includes battling the enemies to proceed to the next level. Everyone will be represented fairly as both genders will be included in this game and as there will be no difference between the genders about from the way they look. Racism will also not be an issue as there will be various characters in the game from different races.

Sexism/Racism/Agism – how will your game ensure everyone is represented fairly?
