Ideas
- Introduce a student discount to appeal directly to our target audience.
- Have a companion to aid the player - use this as a USP.
- Have 2 to 3 voice actors who can perform multiple characters to save on costs.
- A male friend of Zoie has offered to do this for free.
- Use Claude as our asset creator - charges £15 ph as of 05/12/2019 (https://www.peopleperhour.com/freelancer/video-photo-audio/claude-buchan-freelance-3d-artist-jjjjqa#portfolio)
- Ending 1 = no one gets saved; ending 2 = save the king; ending 3 = both
- Release bonus content that includes a short storyline/spin-off. Doesn't come out with initial game release but in the future after success.
- Release on other platforms after major success, such as Playstation and Xbox, with a larger world and longer gameplay.
- Reduce the PEGI rating from 16 to 12 - no graphic violence = more manageable for the assets/visuals creator
