Client Requirements

The key requirements of your client are set out in the written specification and you must describe how you will plan to meet those requirements.

Your analysis of the requirements is important for you to show you clearly understand what you’ve been asked to create in this project.

Different genders in your audience will require different things: What will appeal to boys? What will appeal to girls?

The young age group you are aiming your game towards means you will need to carefully consider the content of your game.

Your target audience is the person or group of people that you are aiming your final product towards.
