RATIONAL!! task3

For task 3 we are collaborating to produce a fan site, for a video game called monster hunter. Monster hunter is a team based fantasy adventure game. it can be played wireless over the internet or from console to console. We are going to aim it at people who are already fans of the game. We will be producing spoof comic strips that draw on the shared knowledge of the gamers for the fan site and handouts using print based media to promote this site.

The target audience would be fans of the game who have varying amounts of experience with the game, from new players to the die hard fans that don’t like the new players.

Research will be into both print, web and comics/similar projects. We will be producing questionnaires to find out what the fans want from the website. These questionnaires will be posted on online in monster hunter forums so its aimed straight at the target audience.


ANDREW: initially I will be looking into comic strips and spoof stories such as vg cats, mint sauce and various others. I will be helping with the web design but mostly I will be responsible for the print aspect of the project which is intended to promote the website.

LUKE: For starters I will be looking at the needs and wants of the existing monster hunter fans and producing questionnaire(s) that ask specifically what they would look for in a fan site. As I’m inexperienced in web design we thought it would be beneficial for me to confront this issue and deal mostly with the web design. Andrew will be assisting me and like wise I will be helping out with print.

COLLABORATING: Basically we will be pooling our collective passion for the game as well as our skills and creativity to create a wide range of amusing comic strips based on the many facets of monster hunter and providing solutions to the fans needs.
