Mobile game development has been
a consistently developing field for almost half a decade now. With growing
number of mobile platforms and their capacities, games have become an integral
part of a mobile device.
Regardless of a phone’s
sophistication, appearance etc the most common feature every device provides
its user is a platform for games. During the process of Game Development the
mobile game developer should be aware of both the technical as well as the non-technical aspects.
The team that is developing the application can decide on the type, graphical
specs and other aspects according to the model of the mobile. The techniques
used for building and strategies used for designing also changes accordingly.
The market for gaming using the
mobile platform has grown broadly in the recent years. Games which are not
present in the device by default can be downloaded from using packet data
connection. Games are primarily developed to generate revenue with the number
of downloads that are made. And this is one of the main reasons for inbuilt
games are not taken into consideration.
The most important aspects of
developing a game is the entire game plot and the game play involved. The most
innovative projects are the ones which get the most number of users and more downloads.
With touch screen devices abundantly available it has become easier for users
to play even complex games in their phones. As developing is a very expensive
process companies have started using offshore development centers too.
Beginners interested in
developing games for mobile platforms can start by learning Objective C and
Xcode tools first. Only after knowing these basics the next step of developing
a mobile game project can be done. There are more complexities in developing a
project for the mobile than there were a couple of years back. iPhone game Developers can
integrate GPS, and such modules in the application. Media files can also be
coupled with the applications in the form of audio, video, text, images etc.
With the widespread users of
games using the mobile platform it is estimated that the already booming
profits will reach $11 Billion in 2014. This stat makes it obvious that the
growing field of game development will reach a point where the profits are
enormous. The number of users of mobile game development has increased threefold
just in the past couple of years. The major mobile device companies for which
games are being developed are Apple, Samsung, Nokia, and Blackberry. There are
many platforms which are being used by these companies and for each platform
applications have to be developed natively.
Apart from segregating these
games according to the platform users tend to browse through categories too.
Games are categorized in various genres namely Action, War, Strategy, Sports
etc. Thus companies these days test their games and applications with seasoned
professional gamers and amateur users to have an overall feedback to market
their product in a better way. These are the basic steps involved in developing
a mobile game for the market today.
