fortnite task 2

I think that including player based suggestions makes a game good. By allowing the players to decide what happens in the game, it becomes more enjoyable since their ideas are the ones being implemented. The overall design of he game can also make a good game by having an enjoyable design style,

Challenge - 100 player battle royale
                 - Fight 'the storm'
Aesthetics - Cartoon-like
                  - Kid friendly
Rewards - Earn in-game items and currency
Narrative - Land on an island
               
Killer - Competitive, wants to win the game
Achiever - Wants to collect all of the trophies and complete all of the trophies
Socializer - Wants to hang out with people online, not bothered about fighting
Explorer - More interested in exploring than fighting

I agree with the statement because is includes areas for all 4 gamer types. The battle royale is a free for all against 99 other players (appeals to the 'killer') , including challenges (appeals to the 'achiever') and areas to explore (appeals to the 'explorer'). The creative hub allows people to hang out and socialize with other characters online (appeals to the 'socializer')

Fortnite task

GaaS ( Games as a service) is how publishers create a revenue through games by subscription. Fortnite Battle Royale is a free to play game but is still very profitable. By having an in game currency that can be purchased by micro-transactions. By 2018, Fortnite had made $2.4b despite it being free to play.
Free-to-play game Fortnite made Epic $318 million in a month ...
Micro-transactions can be used to by the in game currency "V Bucks" and a battle pass. V Bucks are used to purchase cosmetic items, such as gliders, pickaxes and skins which have no advantage. The battle pass is a purchasable item where you play to earn cosmetic items. By including this, it encourages people to play the game more, leading them into spending more money

task 1 of the sweeney

The Sweeney is a drama TV show, first published in 1975 to ITV. The show got its name from 'Sweeney Todd' (mimicking the Cockney accent saying Flying Squad). It was produced by Euston Films Ltd and starred John Thaw, Dennis Waterman, Garfield Morgan and many more. The show is set in west London and the first episode, Ringer, was about how one of the characters, Regan, had his car stolen. However, important surveillance images of great importance were still inside. The culprit behind the car robbery saw these photos and alerted Sweeney's target, giving him a heads up.
