Idea 2: Feedback from a Friend
Here’s what I think:
September 6, 2018: I think the idea is great and very innovative but what value is it going to bring news publishers is the main question. Would people rather play the game instead of reading the news/ newsletters/ listen to podcasts? Think about the resources and time needed to create this game since you usually cannot anticipate the day’s top story. You mentioned that the product will exist on a homepage/ tab, where would this be? Would it be a separate website that people would navigate to or would it be a plug-in that people can add to an existing website? AND, how you plan on monetizing it?
Also, do you plan on creating this game or just prototyping it? Do you have the bandwidth to complete this within 2-3 months? Keep in mind that you have basically September- November to pull this off, and you’ll be working on your presentation most of the time after November until mid- December.
Let me know if you need more feedback! I still think it’s a great idea but keep in mind what value it’s going to bring news publishers. I think the point of Studio 3 should be that it ultimately helps journalist/ news publishers/ users to interact with news.
