Concept Map of different TYPES OF GAMES that are out there, 4 choices for your own games with an analysis of which type will work best for you (this is an essential part of your Design Brief) -- POSSIBILITIES. Evidence of research into the types of GAMERS you are creating your game for. For 5 Websites/Programs: play/review some games, create you own simple game explaining the process, write a review for that website on its usefulness for you -- TOOLS States the following: What sort of game are you making? Who is the target audience for your game? Why are you making this game?-- DESIGN BRIEF. Specic details about your game, decisions that have to be made before you can start designing. This may include your choice of game-building platform, more detail about the visual style, etcetera... -- DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS.

For all of the above, the student provides less than the required number of entries, entries are lacking in signicant details or are incomplete. Outlines the need for a product/solution for a specied client or end user. Analyzes one existing product/solution that may solve the problem. Outlines the ndings from a range of sources, cited incompletely, relevant to the development of the requirements for a possible solution.
