Targeting local audiances essay



 It is important to target local because this means thast the console or game can be constructed and changed to please the majority, if the game gets changed so that people more people can play it then this will get more sales and therefore get a greater number of people involved in the gaming world. Targeting local audiances means that things can be monitered easier as most of the things to do with the game will be very similar or the same in alot of cases. Games can more easily be adapted to the area like for example alot of things need to be censored and left out in certain areas like the 'Nazi' sign in Wolfenstein needs to be cencored in Germany because of their history with this sign.
 
      Production is another important

UGC

UGC stands for 'user generated content' and this is where players can actually create their own content to be involved in the game, this is kind of like modding the game but the content will already be in the game, the player just needs to have their own imagination to make their content suitable to them. An example of UGC is in a game like little big planet for the PlayStation 3, in this game there is an option to create your own level where the player starts from scratch and completely starts the new level, using tools in the game and certain objects. One advantage of using UGC in your game is the idea that it even gives the developers ideas for things to involve in the next game as they will be spoilt for choice for ideas. Another advantage is that the game can never really get boring as the players can just keep creating new missions of their own and it will be exactly what they want.
