Writing Assignment, answer the following:
- Who is your audience? The target audience for Wildberries is middle schoolers. But the grander audience goes for high-school teenagers who are around their sophomore and junior years.
- How well do you know your audience? I have taught elementary and middle school students various topics such as: digital animation, electronic engineering, 3D modeling with Maya, game design with Unity, and several other areas. During my time working with them, I have play-tested two games with them that I’ve created, ATTENTION, and The Knock-Out Punch. I learned from the way they played those games what kinds of features attract them to play more or invest more energy towards.
- How well have you tested your idea with them? I have not showed my old students the new project yet. I do have access to my younger cousins who fit in the grander audience of the high-school students, but also have not shown them yet at the time of this writing.
- Who is your community of practice? It is animators and programmers in NYC. I had connections to some from my time at at the Global Game Jam last year, but I should refresh the contact list.
