Toys and Burger

Toys Concepts, and I have an animation but I forgot how to put it up here so I'll figure that out during class.

Food Sprites

Food sprites for the DLC pack. That last one's supposed to be a potato... might have to work on making it a little more clear.

More Promotional Stuff

Some website design ideas. The first one would play like a mini demo of the game, and the way you navigate would be to move Eat Boy around. The second one is just a simple website. 

Made a little demo and put it up here.

Plus a poster, still working on it some, though.

Week 2...more solidified

Marketing Plan

Selling App:
- Starting out free

- Organ level packs (heart pack, liver pack, kidney pack, can collect the whole body organ set to have the complete game)
- If game gets more popular, increase price, possibly including the extra level packs.
- If game is free on the PC, you can download it on your phone and have all the save data from the PC transferred to your phone to continue the game.

Advertisement:
- Distribute posters/stickers and link to website/information for people to look for the game.
- Put out free demo online to check popularity.
- Make game posters “mocking” other popular games
- See examples
- Websites, forums promotion (twitter, facebook, tumblr); shows points, levels and game updates on the person’s “page” and promotes pictures.
- Toys, charms, etc with number/code to enter for new levels.

Marketing Strategies:
- Depending on sales/download numbers, prices will fall accordingly (higher download rates = raised price)
- Donor items
- High powered weapons
- Character customization (Color changes, costumes, and accessories)

here is the stuff i have done thus far
a poster
and icons for the game

i plan on pitching the game as a television show for kids, on something like cartoon network

Advertising strategy
since the game is educational, we want as many people to play it as possible, so releasing the game for free would be the ideal situation. Advertisements could be sold numerous ways, such as branded food items the player character eats throughout the game, fruits, vegetables, meat, eggs. each could have a specific brand associated with it

Marketing the game
in the game the player has to get points to buy power ups and advance their skills in the game
so we could provide incentives for the player to tell their friends about the game via facebook to get more points. at the end of every level they could get a certain point bonus by hitting a button within the game that sends a message to a friend of theirs on facebook that advertises the game to them. if people want the point bonus they gotta advertise the game for us.

Josh Manning Market Plan

SEB MARKET PLAN

Sell the IP to a toy company:

Possibly In connection with Ian's Cartoon Series

Giving a game/show/toy multimarket advertising strategy

Buy the game: get bonuses for buying the toys and
watching the show.

Profitable transactions and Continued marketing:

DLC packs of textures level and more 50c each.

Purchase the game for 1.00 single pack or
1.50 double pack(buy and gift)

Marketing Plan

• Game is free to download and use on mobile device/computer
• Initial game comes with basic body/levels and the basic set of foods
• Restaurants give away a code to download extra items/foods/levels to people who buy certain items from their menu
• Prize with McDonald's Happy Meal (example: Neopets Happy Meal Rare Item Virtual Prize Code)
• Can either be with all Happy Meals, or to promote healthy message, you only get the prize if you order Apple Dippers instead of fries
• Others that might work with this plan: Burger King, Subway, Jamba Juice, Del Taco, etc.
• Also, HappyMeal.com, ClubBK.com have games to play, plus trailers, downloads, activities (coloring pages). Put up demo to play there.

Stuff

Hey, I don't know if anyone thought of this or not, but some of your designs reminded me of this and someone should totally do a parody poster of this!!
