Gaming Development

With easy access to smartphones, mobile applications have become a robust game development platform. At present, the gaming industry has generated over a billion in terms of revenue. Every new application released in the market has unique features. With such changing variables, the developers must adapt to the latest technologies.

Games such as Angry Birds, Candy Crush, Clash Of Clans, Flappy Birds and more have proved the endless potential of the mobile gaming market for revenue generation. These games have attracted millions to enter the field of game development. Research by Admob shows that 62% of smartphone users install a game in the first week of purchasing their mobile. Despite the vast market potential, there are only a few mobile games whose profit outweigh their development expenditures. To develop a successful mobile game, you need an expert team that is experienced, reliable, and flexible when adapting to new tools and integrating technologies.

Questionnaire CREATE A SUCCESSFUL MOBILE GAME FROM SCRATCH

The first step to build a profitable game is identifying your Target audience or market. The next step is to create a game-play plan that’s engaging and interactive for the players. Monetise this when the prototype gets ready. To help you understand the development process in a better manner, we have an 8-step process listed down for you. Follow these steps as stated, and you would be ready to establish yourself as a leader in the mobile gaming industry.

RESEARCH YOUR GAME PLAN

Process #1 RESEARCH YOUR GAME PLAN

To design an unforgettable game, you need a unique concept. A successful game is built by a combination of several steps, and originality is the most crucial step.

Developing new ideas is not possible through an explicit method. To come up with a good idea, you need to think of something innovative and engaging. Ensure your concept appeals to a large audience so that you can make profits.

When developing new ideas, improvising on an existing one is often more effective than creating them from the ground up. Several games, such as Candy Crush and Diamonds, show improvisation in its best light. It’s no secret that puzzle and match-three games have been around for a long time, but these games weren’t just this generation’s version of match-three games. They gained popularity by using items such as diamonds and candy to create a new kind of game experience.

Process #2 BUILD A STORY

The gaming world is replete with stories. It will take an account or story, however simple, to motivate players to complete the game. The process of creating a story is actually very simple. Here is a simple method for creating game stories – Just answer the following questions about your characters:

Which character in the story is the hero, and which is the villain?
What is their greatest strength and weakness?
What’s the reason for their fight?
What strategy will the hero use to win?

SIMPLE YET ADDICTIVE

Process #3 SIMPLE YET ADDICTIVE

The ability to keep users engaged in your game requires a little addiction. Games can become addictive by incorporating certain foolproof elements. You should develop an easy and fun game that becomes progressively more challenging. A lengthy game tends to lose the interest of players. Keep them engaged by making your levels short and with a lot of unlockable content. Providing frequent freebies during holidays and other special occasions will keep users interested in your website.

Process #4 DETERMINE THE KEY PLATFORMS

You must decide on the platform before you begin developing anything for mobile. One of the biggest dilemmas is choosing between Android, iOS, Blackberry, and Windows. The primary choice is usually either Android or iOS without regard to Blackberry or Windows.

You could avoid this question altogether by developing a hybrid game, but there will be additional costs involved. If you want your game to become a success, you need to know who your target market is. Identify and prioritize the OS your most profitable players will use. In case your market spans multiple platforms, you may want to choose more than one mobile OS.

DESIGN A STUNNING LAYOUT

Process #5 DESIGN A STUNNING LAYOUT

Designing a game is more complex than designing an app. Good game design takes into consideration a variety of factors such as the story that is told, characters, and final appearance. Having a great design for your game can make it stand out in the crowd. There are infinite options when it comes to game design. Your game can be designed as a flat design or as a comic style with a 3D layout.

Design elements should be kept to a minimum in terms of weight. A design that is embellished with intricate details will lead to inefficiency in the performance of the game. You should ensure that the user experience is optimized while keeping the design weight minimal.

Process #6 DETERMINE THE STRATEGY FOR MONETIZATION

There are a number of games that are not profitable. Game monetization strategies need to be planned before development can begin. Every platform has its own challenges when it comes to developing a game. Therefore, you should have a plan for recovering your investment. The following are some common ways to monetize mobile games:

In-app purchases: The freemium model is the most popular way to monetize mobile games. Although a small proportion of this income comes from in-app purchases (a little more from in-app purchases in iOS), it provides users with a reliable source of income.
In-app advertisements: Many mobile games feature in-app purchases in conjunction with ads within the app. It’s a great strategy because neither of these can bring in substantial revenue on its own. It is crucial to pay close attention to the advertisement content because if it is irrelevant or annoying, then the results will be the opposite.
Premium versions offer either a free trial or demo, but players are required to make a payment for continued use. Alternatively, you can ask for payment right away, but this will significantly reduce the number of purchases.

Process #7 SELECT A TECHNOLOGY

Following the creation of your game idea, the next step involves its development. In this section, you will choose what design tools to use and the type of game to create. There are three types of development processes you can choose from:

The process of native game development for mobile devices entails coding in a language native to the platform. You can, for instance, use Java and Swift on Android and iOS. Native development is the best choice for performance.
Mobile games developed with HTML5 are compliant with web standards, including HTML5, JavaScript and CSS. Developing for cross-platforms is much easier with HTML 5, as it uses a write-once-run-anywhere approach. However, there are some limitations, such as managing sessions, securing offline storage, and accessing native device features (camera, calendar, geolocation, etc.). In general, it is a good option for mini-games.
Native and HTML-based mobile game development can be blended to create hybrid games. Easily ported to any platform, the game is designed using HTML 5 in a container cell.

SEEK OUT THE RIGHT DEVELOPERS

Process #8 SEEK OUT THE RIGHT DEVELOPERS

In order to develop successful mobile games, it is essential to hire experienced game developers. In order for your idea to become a lucrative business, you need a developer who possesses the necessary skills. Game development for mobile devices is complex and will require the support of experienced developers.
