Hi guys,
I've just started yr 12 (final year of high school), and for my Design & Technology major project, I'm going to create a design document for a video game. But first I need to conduct surveys to find out what gamers like, and all that kind of stuff, so I can develop a design that will appeal to the right target market. I've prepared a survey (it's very short and sweet!), so if you could just take a few minutes to fill it out for me, that'd be great.
+rep to everyone who helps me out here.
If you don't want anyone to see your answers, please send a PM my way.
Thanks!
Introduction
Video games are increasingly becoming the entertainment form of choice for many people. Due to the development of technology in today’s society, more people have access to video games across a wide range of genres. I would like to gather information about the types of games that people play and what most appeals to them within the gaming genre. I am conducting this survey for my major design project to determine what type of market exists for video games. If you could take the time to complete this short survey honestly, it would be greatly appreciated.
