After finally getting completed with the surveys, I found and chose the best persona for my GUI creation assignments.
Kids (Age 7-9)
Based on the survey results, most of the question given are answered by their parents. Some of them are willing to answer the survey with parent's help, since my survey is obviously cannot be understand by most kids, and they the need parents guidance. Back to the survey, most kids like a very simple game, like puzzle and memory test game. It is very clearly that most parents want their kids to play video games that have educational purposes. The kids surely will love if the video games serve something that is more colorful and full with enjoyment, while keeping th educational theme running.
Teenagers (Age 19-22)
For the teenagers group, other than playing video games, they always tend to use internet, but it is actually as same as the time they spend for playing video games everyday. Plus, most of them are influenced first on the internet to play video games. They are definitely on to the online gaming type, which is can be considered as a trend nowadays. Also, based on the survey on what kind of genre they like on video games, they prefer for Sci-Fi theme, which is basically about futuristic settings with all high-tech equipment, like laser weapons and robots. While they like Sci-Fi theme, they sure love to have some action theme on it.
Adult (Age 40-50)
Frankly saying, in Malaysia, there is not much older people who played games in their young ages. This is because in Malaysia, video games industry still does not hit the scene big enough in the past. The old generation never had a chance to try any type of video games, compare to the other countries. Still, there is some people that can give the best answer, thus giving me the false impression that old generation people in Malaysia never tried any oldest game, unless if they play them for now. From the results, they played video games from arcade store. Well, that is really expect-able and from what I understand, even kids started playing video games from arcade store, but nowadays, cyber cafe is another term. The arcade games mostly installed on most big mall, in the specific locations. Until today, the arcade games still running big and played on most people. This is where the nostalgia moment for older people to play again the arcade games back in 20 years ago.
