First day of second-to-last assignment

Today we got our second-to-last assignment ('thank god'). For this assignment we were given a picture from the dreaded brown envelopes. I got a picture of a dungeon and I immediately came up with several scenarios. Before I get into these, I have a bit of a history with creating game environments; before I came to Uni I did a BTEC in Brighton that was game related, where I learned to build environments and other things to do with games. So, this assignment was right up my alley, the only problem being that I haven't done much in this field for a while and my skills were a bit rusty. The few scenarios that I came up with involved the idea of a First-Person Shooter, but before I could go into detail about this I wanted to think about what kind of audience I would be aiming for. After thinking on this, we had to watch a 'thrilling' video on the history of games presented by Tony Hawk (who is an absolute prat and should not be allowed to present another DVD feature. Ever). After this thrilling video I knew where I wanted to take the game, but I still needed an idea of my audience. Over the course of this week I will be looking into the rating system and seeing what sort of audience I'm looking at.
