Game-design in practice, group post #1

We have gotten an assignment where we have to make a product with a successful marketing, so you can sell it to an audience. As a group we decided to make a 2D game with a isometric camera view, a twin stick shooter game in a arena setting with different game modes(capture the flag, battle royal etc.). The genre of the game would be pixel like with a steampunk theme to it.

Our group contains a total of 6 members, 5 programmers and 1 graphical artist. We have taken help from other artists outside this course to help us with the art, otherwise we would never have the content we want in time. The game is 2-4 players and contains both single/co-op player modes.

We aim to have a successful marketing where we can go profit of our game and have the expected audience we have estimated it to be. The assignment should be complete in 17 weeks.
