Game development program

2
Games are a subset of Play
Play is a component of Games

3
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 consumer
Product released by company in a month.

10
Some more Example
Software : Maya is also kind of tool where users find that ones
Time 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 how
Conquer 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 department
In 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)
Cartridge based hand-helds
DS -CONSOLE

22
Mobile Games Limitations
Small in scope
Rely on good game play over flashy graphics
Lack 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. Multiplayer
2D 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 gambling
Player can play the game in a single player or multiplayer mode
for real or play money.
MMORPG’s
Subscription-based resources and real money transactions
Trivia 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 intelligent
opponents
Multiplayer functionality is achieved through:
Infared
Bluetooth
3G
Wi-Fi
Wireless LAN
Multiplayer mobile games are often a re-branding of multiplayer
games for the PC or Console

27
Unique to Mobile Gaming
Geo-caching treasure hunt games
Played on mobile device with integrated GPS receiver
External GPS receivers connected via Bluetooth
Increased number of mobile phones with GPS
Overlay 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 reconfiguration
No moving parts
Gesture-based interface control
Multiple game play metaphors (moving, shooting, scratching)
Handwriting recognition
Motion, proximity, position sensitivity
iPhone
Warioware
Anroid

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)
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
