GAME DEVELOPMENT
In our previous post,we dealt with the extraordinary technology of AR,and now,we wish to discuss the hottest service offered by AR(game development).
Mobile game development is a hot market and there are many opportunities for making money.Gaming applications are the largest contribution to global app revenue.
However, inasmuch as the potentials of this industry is high,it is also important to note that one stands at a risk of loosing ones funds to development of unprofitable games if one fails to properly understand the industry.It is therefore important for us to discuss how to be a successful game owner.Shall we?
Let's begin
Cost of game development
As with every idea you wish to develop,the first consideration that comes to mind is the cost involved in the execution.Though it will be difficult to name an exact price for a game,some factors determines the cost of a game development.1.Choice of OS:The platform, whether,IoS, Android,blackerry,windows,you choose your game to operate on, is usually ,oneof the determinants of the cost of Development.The cost of IoS development is usually higher than the Android development.However, Android development can cost a bit little more if you want your game to be compatible with older versions.Also,the integration of both Android and IOS in your game will usually cost more than a game only developed to run only on an Android or IOS.
2.Development expenses:They salaries of the development teams is the major contributor to the cost of your game.For a very basic,simple game you can require the services of only a developer;but for larger,more complex games,you will require a group of developers to work on your project.The following people make up the team
a.)Game designers:These people bring the ideas of your game into life,develop the game rules and the contents.They help document the levels, gameplay, target users and the environment.Without a planned game designer,it will get really complicated to control and coordinate mobile game development.On small projects,the game designer's duties can be divided among other teams, but with medium and large projects you need team of designers.
b.) Programmers of the game client side:To use popular engines like unity 3D or unreal,you will have to hire an onboard C++ programmer; you are planning shipping your game to several platforms without a specialized engine?,then a programmer who specializes in Android,IoS,or web development will help you.If your game involves interaction between users and centralized data storage,then your developer need to develop a smaller slide of the game as well.
c.) Graphics and animation:For an excellent result, you need to engage specialists for your graphics and animation.
The various graphic types such as 2D,3D, interphase graphics and so on determines your choice of designer.The number of graphics and animation designers along with a virtual effects artist play a role in determining the cost of your project.
d.)Sound design:Of course,all computer, mobile and video games needs sound.You can get ready-made sounds from a sound bank.You can get sounds for free or for a fee;for more ambitious projects the developments of sounds and soundtracks from scratch is preferred.
e.) Testing:When it comes to game apps,the testing process is as important as development.Gamers have little to no tolerance to bugs in the games,hence,the need for your game to be able to run smoothly.Imagine spending your thousands or millions of naira to develop a game,only for the game to fail in playing on the some of the most popular and most used Android or IoS devices,or you set up monetization only to find out that most advanced users could bypass it leaving you with no income,or at a particular stage,you get stuck and cannot finish it,or you find it is impossible to defeat the boss because of wrong color o texture or a misplaced boxcollider.This will bring great user dissatisfaction and you could loose users.Therefore,a QA engineer who could help you with testing is very important.
f.). Software licenses and data needed for development also plays a part in determining the game's development cost.
3.Intelletual property: Just as it is with most other activities you may wish to include the image of a certain popular character,brands, celebrities, you have to purchase the applicable intellectual property.You cannot include say,a character as spider Man,a popular football or an actor without paying some cash.Now that is the privelige and price of Fame�.You much respect it.
Other things that determines the cost of a game development includes,the total time of development,tools used in development, services integration, quantity and quality of graphics,server scaling,number of codes, quality assurance system, assembly systems, platforms.
From this factors and the knowledge from the game development market we can say that the costs of the different categories and genres of games should range as such.
1.Mini games cost around $3,000 to $20,000
2.Simple 2D casual games is $20,000 to $60,000
3.mid-level mobile games is $60,000 to $120,000
4.High level mobile games is $120,000 to $250,000.But remember!!you can get it much cheaper(trust me)
We have already expended much space and time in estimating the cost of a game .Now, let's see how we could make a successful and profitable game.Shall we?
