Need to Continue developing deliverables; Risk assessment, Process overview, and testing plan

This needs to on the subject of a mobile game for android or apple device. Each deliverable should take a minimum of one page. Include citations throughout, as necessary. deliverables are as follows:

1. Risk Assessment 1 page 
Create a risk assessment that lists risks along with severity and probability.

Notes: Table of all the possible things that could go wrong, be it internal or external to the program. Like stakeholders, you will want to rank them and provide a definition for how you prioritize them.

2. Schedule/Process Overview 1 page 
Define the process life cycle that should be implemented (for example, Agile). Identify who and how many people should be tasked for each phase.

Notes: Provide a Gantt chart with possible time values and personnel that mirror the different components and modules in the system.

3. Testing Plan 1 page 
Create a testing plan that highlights what elements will be tested and how they will be tested. Identify critical components that need the most focus. Include at least four use cases that illustrate steps taken to perform a basic test. 

note: I have uploaded my first part of the project that might help.

Project Overview

The project aim is to create a mobile application that will compete with the latest games on the tablet market. The game would be called Invasion Wasabi. The story line would be aliens invading Earth that use ultra-hot wasabi as their weapon. They would have it shooting from their flying saucers and have it injectable though their syringe like finger nails. These aliens would have large heads shaped like wasabi covered almonds and small wasabi green bodies. They would use the root WasabiaJaponica (Wasabi Root) as their fuel and would have to search for it and attain it during their conquest. The game levels would go from each country on the planet starting with the smallest working up to the largest. Each country would have their own unique strategy for fighting. The game would be set in 3rd person view for when the aliens are in flight in the saucers and 1st person view when the land and exit their saucers. The game would also have special levels for holidays the happen though out the year.

The controls would use the motion sensors on the tablet along with the touch screen to control all aspects of the game. The charactersand worlds in the game would all be cartoon style and also use comical sound affects (funny laughter for the aliens, one liners said be the earth people) Your score would be determined by battles and wasabi root collected. The game would also have single or team play (one or two player).

The gaming market has been on a steady raise and in 2016 reached $99.6 billion, with mobile gaming generating 37%. The mobile gaming market was $36.9 billion in 2016 and is projected to be $52.5 billion in 2019. The mobile market has overtaken the console game market. Even with tablet sales slowing, the tablet game sales have increased faster than smartphone game sales(Gaudiosi, 2015). Revenue for Invasion Wasabi would be generated by in game purchases, this is the leading revenue for mobile apps.

The major competitors in the market are Electronics Arts, Supercell and King.com. The leading games in this market are Clash of Clans and Game of War; Fire Age, which would put Invasion Wasabi in the right genre as other top sellers. Apple leads the tablet market with Android coming in second. Offering this game first on Apple would offer it to a larger market following with offering it on Android(Statista , 2016).

Constraints in the gaming industry can lead to innovation; just look at Minecraft. Other constraints are the ever changing technology, so time becomes a factor in develop and also a clear vision of the game technology that you want to use(Arcila, 2012). Budget can also be a constraint; this game would cost around $250,000(Skreech, 2014). Budget could be supplemented by finding outside investors. Wasabi manufactures or Wasabi covered nut manufactures might find interest in this project.
