How do you feel about the task, requirements and parameters?
I feel they are fair and understandable, they limit my options but this means that i will have to think less about the vast possibilities of what i could do. i appreciate being able to rework an original board game because it allows for a lot of creativity and while keeping a base foundation, this seems more interesting to me than creating an original piece because the possibilities and complications for an original board game are so broad and diverse. i will make good on the brief by following the rules and making a safe board game. i'm looking forward to making a strong identity for my product and i have some basic ideas, i want it to be darker than the usual board games. I intend to work individually for the duration of the project.
Research
What research are you going to carry out and why?
i will research good and bad board games finding what makes them good, i think a key component for a good children's board game is simplicity combined with fun, deep but understandable mechanics. games intended for older audiences can be more complex but must still be compelling and fun.
Do you have an idea already?
i have an idea of theme and some board games I've seen before that look interesting. I probably know who i will be aiming my work at - young adult. i will probably rework an older board game because making an original one is too complex.
What are your research questions?
Why are certain board games more popular than others and what constitutes a good board game?
How can i rework an old title like Cludo or Snakes and ladders into something different - fresh but still packed with nostalgia.
I will do a snakes and ladders rework for an older audience in a horror themed style with more complex rules and concepts, maybe a Cuthulu style game?
ideas for pieces: swords, boats?,
