DC EXERCISE 4: Produce a SWOT analysis of your project.

[Incognita Nom de Plume]

Refer to your project goals and competitor analysis, but also looking at your own team's and project's strengths and weaknesses in particular.

You can use the SWOT template that is on the server, or provide your SWOT as a series of bullet-points.

[Tristan C-B]

SWOT Analysis:

Name of project: Cosmonaut

(Tristan C-B & Harry Ridgeway)

Strength:
We are able to produce 3d content that is detailed and has the element of life on their textures (wear and tear, dirt, etc) enabling us to create a detailed environment that feels full of life.

Own engined used, so a fair bit of flexibility provided

Weaknesses:
We have a weakly enforced timeline. While giving us flexibility, it does raise issues of having the project delayed, or important components not completed.

Short time frame

No backup time frame should 'xyz' fails

Opportunities:
Focusing on the environment aspect that really adds a lot of content to the portfolio that would hopefully look very presentable.

We are using a custom engine, we can deliver the end product to people without any prerequisites.

Threats:
If our visuals aren't very impressive, we would easily be outshone by games with memorable gameplay or engaging action.

Bugs or engine issues requiring a change of game play
