Let me begin by saying that I have enjoyed working on this project. I have spent a large amount of time doing research on the game as well as the developers of the game. Tecmo has released a range of game titles. Many of them have been sports games. The creation of this game shows people that Tecmo can create new ideas for games and that they have adapted and grown in the game industry. This new game release should be revealed in a fun and exiting way. It will capture the attention of the target audience and interest people in purchasing and playing the game.
The idea I have produced is a short thirty second television commercial that will gain the attention of the target audience. The gameplay really speaks for itself in this situation. I have based the basic layout of the storyboard concept on specific things that can be achieved in the game. The formations that the robotic characters or tokobots make with the main character Bolt were the aspects of the game that I found most interesting. They tend to play a major role in the duration of the game and are a key element to the gameplay. I intend to first introduce the tokobots in the advertisement by showing one of them standing alone. Several more tokobots will then be shown with the one and the introduction of Bolt will shortly follow. The next step is showing that first formation. An animated segment will show the characters in formation performing the tasks that can be accomplished with the first formation. The animation will then be followed by various screenshots of actual gameplay to display the actions. The other formations will be displayed in the same way. They will be introduced by animation and followed by actual scenes of gameplay. The background music will be from the game itself. There will also be a narration to introduce the characters and provide some explanation of the game.
This short segment will be successful in showing the viewer the important elements of gameplay. I will also introduce the characters in the game that are very likable and well designed. The viewer will be able to grasp some of the things they are capable of doing in the game while seeing actual gameplay from the game. The advertisement is adequate in getting the potential target audience interested in the game by providing the necessary information.
