This is the treatment that I did.

Genre or type of game: Sports game

Brief description / synopsis:

It is a decisions basketball game in which the decisions you make outside of the sport have an affect on your playing career, it also has a wide range of features and game modes, also a vast range of customisation.

Platform chosen:

Target audience

Intended age of audience: The target audience is 12+ as this age are into basketball and sport games, also driving games which make it suitable for the genre as there is a free roam option in which you can drive around.

Other target details: The game has no violence or explicit content, which therefore makes it for young teens like 12 year olds for example

Game style: Decisions/sport style game in which your decisions can affect your teams performance and moral, which therefore puts more emphasis on the actual player, and the player’s decisions

Additional information

Content of game (items, features and articles):  The game will include things like unlock able accessories e.g. basketball shoes, also customisable characters.

Examples of challenges and themes:

Some of the challenges will of course be the decisions you face and have to decide on throughout the game

Styles of comparable games: The style of NBA 2K15 is different to my game  as it is not a decisions based game and therefore only has sports features.
