Belfast-based television production company Nice One Productions has completed Future Screens NI funded R&D on television programming to enhance the public’s perception of video games and game production. Through a series of UK-wide surveys of general public’s perceptions of video games and video game development and conceptual research, Nice One Productions developed Format Bible, Sizzle Reel and pilot footage to pitch a TV competition show featuring teams of video game developers create original games in just 48 hours. The aim is to produce a show which will show the games industry in the most positive light to an audience, who have minimal industry knowledge. Looking at current tastes in programme consumption the team concluded that formatted entertainment is watched with more frequency than documentaries, and that a Factual Entertainment show about indie game development would be an appropriate solution.
