Games are a subset of Play Play is a component of Games

GAME is global need of person which changes their form in various media.As described in our scripture that there are five basic need of our unit of life called Cell or Kosha :

4

Annandmaya kosh decide complete satisfaction to full fill desire which is root cause of existing of world and doing karma, which makes infinite variation of behave, habit personality, prosparity,grace of human being and also make human to be human .Humanity is upper most of all living being which itself teach us “ live and live others”.

DOPAMINE and Testosterone created in brain as we play games. More we play more secretion of dopamine And testosterone result in pleasure and fun.

Game Design Principle which basically works on 3F

1.FEED BACK 2.FRI ENDS 3.FUN

Today era I think it is revolutionary, its not only kind of creative ideas we are crating but it’s a qualities of creative ideas.It’s a number of people who gets to be creative and his voices in that Prism of creative ideas can amplify… Game concept to engage users and solve problems

7

Some Example

ETERNA: solving with crowd games means its all about discovering a new structure of RNA Protein .Thousands of people discovered new RNA structure that science never Discovered.

8

Some Example PHYLO: its another game discovering structure of DNA of Species. Where people found 350000 mistake found in structure of DNA, whatever discovered early years.

9

Some Example

QUIRKY : its product innovation games .where two new consumerProduct released by company in a month.

10

Some more Example

Software : Maya is also kind of tool where users find that onesTime we learn the software he can use his creative resulting in pleasure or secretion of Dopamine .

CITY ONE: This is basically a sin city game who ruins city and Users involve in management of city ,by giving the solution of city Problems.LITTLE BRITAIN: same game as above..EAST INDIA COMPANY: where Britain children play games howConquer the world example Asian country.

11

Some more Example

DWP : Department of work and pension. Where they use idea street Which was virtual stock of idea which can sell and use by departmentIn 1st 90 days 1500 news ideas generated. 90 billion $ money saved By DWP department.

Conclusion: GAMIFICATION IS NEED OF LIFE WHICH WORKS BASED

ON LEARNING FROM FAILURE TOOLS,HAVING NO PANALITY

Below are main pillar of Game Development exist:-

1.GAME FAMILY (Core Team) 2.STUDIO (Hardware , Software, Server and its Maintenance)

3.RESOURCE ( Money, Permanent Employee ,Contract Employee, Inter-ship of College Students) 4.SKILL DEVELOPMENT( Research And Development, team management) 5.MARKETING Team ( On the basis of current Market and Budget , will give suggestion to attract viewer and sell games and apps) 6.SERVICE TEAM (After publishing game they will responsible to maintain current game updating)

13

Before Going to Production lets have a look that GAME have to publish in below platform:

1.Console:A game-playing box that connects to a television set or monitor, with a handheld controller for game play—such as the Wii, Xbox, or PlayStation (each platform having its own proprietary systems that aren’t compatible with other platforms)

22

Mobile Games Limitations

Small in scopeRely on good game play over flashy graphicsLack of processing power of host device.Enough customer information to make a purchase? Limited sales presence through Network Carriers A few lines of text and a screen shot of the game to excite the customer

23

Portable title diversification

Typical trends in portable games include: Singleplayer vs. Multiplayer2D vs. 3D graphics.

Social Network games support both of singleplayer and multiplayer games.

Multiplayer games take advantage of the extension of the mobile phone’s connectivity.

24

Adult demographic based titles

Internet gamblingPlayer can play the game in a single player or multiplayer mode for real or play money.MMORPG’sSubscription-based resources and real money transactionsTrivia or quiz games (limited data space issue)Expansion packs provide solutions

25


Multi-use and Multi-player

26


Most mobile games are single player with artificially intelligentopponentsMultiplayer functionality is achieved through:

InfaredBluetooth3GWi-FiWireless LAN

Multiplayer mobile games are often a re-branding of multiplayergames for the PC or Console

27

Unique to Mobile Gaming

Geo-caching treasure hunt gamesPlayed on mobile device with integrated GPS receiverExternal GPS receivers connected via BluetoothIncreased number of mobile phones with GPSOverlay games involve specific location of multiple players and game resources in the real world“Enhanced Reality” adds layer of game technology“Flash mob” social event phenomenon

28

Alternate Mobile Interfaces

Touch-screen pads allow immediate reconfigurationNo moving partsGesture-based interface controlMultiple game play metaphors (moving, shooting, scratching)Handwriting recognitionMotion, proximity, position sensitivity

Below are main pillar of game production exist, by which we can try to attempt our needs which should have our target to make global need:

1.GAME FAMILY (Core Team) 2.STUDIO (Hardware, Software, Server and its Maintenance) 3.RESOURCE ( Money, Permanent Employee ,Contract Employee, Internship of College Students) 4.SKILL DEVELOPMENT( Research And Development, team management) 5.MARKETING TEAM ( On the basis of current Market and Budget ,will give suggestion to attract viewer and sell games and apps) 6.SERVICE TEAM (After publishing game they will responsible to maintain current game updating)

38

Development Stages• Develop original concept• Shop to publishers• Create schedule (12-24 months)• Deliver work as milestones (work products or

completed activity)• React to customer evaluation

39

Game Development is Unique

• Must be willing to rip out features that don’t work• Designers may create things customer never heard

of before• May require more research and experimentation

than other software development• Often more ideas than time to implement

40

Development Team Size• In the 1980’s might be single developer• Most teams today have 10-60 people• Programming in now a smaller part of the

complete project than before (need good software engineering and media design work)

41

Example 1988• 3 programmers• 1 part-time artist• 1 tester

42

Example 1995• 6 programmers• 1 artist• 2 level designers• 1 sound designer• Contract musicians

43

Example 2002• 2 producers• 4 programmers• 2 game designers• 1 2D and texture artist• 3 level designers• 1 audio designer• 4 animators• QA lead and testers

44

Development Milestones: Development Timeline

• Here are some example development periods for different platforms: – 4-6 months for a high-end mobile game – 18-24 months for an original console game– 10-14 months for a license / port– 16-36 months for an original PC Game

45

Concept Phase• Where concepts come from

– Sequels– Film licenses– Technology re-use– Occasionally, original concepts get greenlit

• Producing the conceptual design• Green light

46

Vertical Slice Of Game

• Vertical Slice of Game – is that where we know actual product how it look, game play working or not ?,it is sellable in market or not? By this product we can publish in demo form in local market or or some small regional area.

47

Check list Vertical Slice Of Game

What is the game we are making and who is it for? Describe all major features.

What is the budget and deadline? What art style and technology will we use? How much art do we need? Do we make it in house, buy it or do

we need to hire a artist/art team? Who are the leads for Design, Programming, Production and

Art? What tech will drive this game? Do we have an engine already? Can we use third party modules or server, etc, or do we have to

make our own?

48

Pre-Production Phase

• GDD• Team selection• Internal staffing plan

– Existing employees (same roles)– Promotions, transfers (new roles)– Hire new employees

49

External Development

• Selecting an external developer– Previously used developers– Referrals (producers, developers)– Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)– Bid package

• Treatment or GDD to date• Publisher’s expectations for product• Bid format and due date

50

The Development Agreement

• Developer’s obligations• Publisher’s obligations• IP ownership• Warranties• Termination• Milestones

51

Milestones

• Highly detailed, specific• Quantifiable, measurable• Due dates• Payment amounts (upon acceptance)• Can use terms like “alpha” , “beta” and “gamma” unless

clearly defined• Milestone approval cycles

52

The Technical Design Document

• Game Design Document is a statement of the problem• Technical Design Document is a statement of the solution• Foundation for the programming work• Identify technical challenges• Plan for technical solutions• Set forth asset format guidelines

53

Scheduling• Generate task lists from GDD & TDD• Plan everything

– Programming– Assets– Demos– Approvals– Green lights– Vacations, holidays– QA

• Work backwards from completion

54

Adjusting the Schedule

• Add people to reduce development time?• Deliver assets on time

– Don’t make programmers wait for assets• Prioritize feature set

– Lower priority features to be done later if possible• Look for bottlenecks

– (feature-technology interdependencies)

55

Budgeting

• Personnel costs– Salary X time X involvement %

• Developer/Contractor payments• Equipment & software• Supplies• Travel & meals• Shipments

56

Profit & Loss Analysis (P&L)

• Costs– Production budget– Cost of goods (COGs)– Marketing– Licensor royalties– Developer royalties

• Revenues– Projected Sales– Wholesale price– Ancillary sales (OEM, strategy guides)

57

Kickoff Green Light• Producer’s plan for the project

– GDD– TDD– Schedule– Budget

• Green light– Executives– IP owner (licensor)– Platform holder

58

Production Phase• Programming now underway• Kicking off tasks – art creation

– Art lists– Art asset file naming conventions– Art asset tracking– Art asset approval cycles– Art asset delivery formats

59

Red Flag Spotting

• The usual causes of red flags:– Team conflicts– Personnel issues– Design problems– Money troubles– Technical glitches– Change requests– Schedule delays

• Take immediate action

60

Kicking Off Tasks - Audio

• Sound list• Music specification• Story text• Voice-over script• Creation of sounds• Creation or licensing of music• Recording of voice-overs

61

First Playable – Proof of Concept

• Keeping everyone on board– Licensor(s)– Platform holder(s)– Executives– The Team

• The Cerny method• Keeping the momentum going

62

Working with Marketing

• Working title final title• Screen shots• E3 demo• Magazine demo• Platform holder promo

63

Post-Production• Personnel transfers• Localizations• ESRB rating• Box & docs• Strategy guide

64

Quality Assurance• Test plan• The QA database• QA – the view from inside• The QA-producer relationship• Post mortem
