Viral Marketing techniques
- We would use video adverts on websites such as youtube and other similar sites.
- The use of social networking sites where groups or fan pages could be made to attract new players.
- The use of viral pop up adverts where you play a mini game and after completed a pop up appears of the trailer.
We would use this technique as the fan base of happy tree friends is mainly internet based. Due to the video series being web based.
Another way we could attract new viewers and players would be to make a iphone and android app which would advertise the game with a demo or trailer of the real game.
We could also use guerilla marketing techniques with the use of huge billboards and moving billboards advertising our game. The action of the billboard would be the characters putting a fork into a plug socket and moving in and out with the character lighting up showing the action of electric shock.

Happy Tree Friends - THE GAME
INITIAL RESEARCH
we had a look at the top bought Xbox games on game store GAME's website. Nearly all the games where fighting and killing orientated e.g COD, DeadSpace2.
These videos are HORRIFIC, but highly popular. They involve very cheerful animal cartoons being horrifically maimed by each other.
Don't watch it if you have a nervous disposition or are easily disturbed by blood and cartoon violence.
GAMEPLAY
The gameplay will be similar to games like Grand Theft Auto, where you control one character with a city. You can free roam around this alternate world and complete set tasks. Completing tasks will reward you with new weapons and object to more effectively maim characters. Tasks will include basic finding certain characters and gaining points for murdering them to solving puzzles like how to destroy evidence.
The alternate world will be a brightly coloured village surrounded by fields and forest. when you have complete all task for that area, you character.
TARGET PLAYER
The target player will be the same as the audience for the videos and people who watch the series, older teenage boys and men. A large downfall to this is it's attraction to females. Although they are cute fluffy animals, it is very distasteful.
MARKETING
Viral market would be ideal for our game product as the videos are internet based already.
