twenty eighteen the global gaming industry generated say is a forty billion euros and you record and talk among go which is one of the best known smartphone games around has made the developers one point eight billion euro so far games have become a global cultural phenomenon more than two hundred million people play fortnight even i have tried out some of the games called victory dances even though survival games really my thing actually my thirteen year old nephew said my dancing was really embarrassing but maybe that's exactly what makes games so popular today their ability to make such a big impact on mainstream culture. you might be familiar with these dance moves they're part of the global fortnight community. survival games battle royale mode is hugely popular and so are the

players unique outfits and dances. some of them were inspired by movies music videos and even ordinary people or unsure kid one of you tube's ingenious dance inventors even the game developer for plagiarizing his loops . fortnight has made dancing one of its trademarks and the internet is now full of tutorials on how to fussed a little. in february. and also set a new record on the twitch streaming video platform last year six hundred twenty

eight thousand people watched a fortnight stream by program. part of the reason for this success is called gamers n.f.l. star. robert driver scott and pop star. games have the power to unite people from all areas of society. much more than that. game in one thousand nine hundred sixty. also helped make. the world. just a matter of time before the first night. the big screen. fan made trailers. but lesser known games can be lucrative to.

start at a small gaming company called fluffy fairy games with some friends the company grew and they later renamed it. today they make almost forty million a year and employs some one hundred full time staff members the company's games. have been downloaded more than sixty five million times. the success without the. invested by mr assange was no investor would have given us money anyway we were a startup based in a shared student apartment and we'd never developed a game before the games. that had no history of game design and his friends one day started to work on one and. it probably helped that they had two i.t. and two engineering students in the team. they invested lots of their free time

and eventually released a final mind and tycoon. games are all about players carrying out simple tasks and i don't mind it talking game is need to dig up and sell natural resources you can get hooked on these kinds of games even those people and you tend to spend short periods playing them their ticket first month plans could have big games has now released a second game idle factory type kid it's also free to download the company and. that sententious. their focus give back the focus isn't on selling games because now the players download them and companies have to keep them happy for months or years there are special events for the live ops for example at halloween a christmas there's something new for the player every weekend those of us are still streaming into the games are constantly undergoing development and changing got to. develop this feedback about games so that they no

longer have to come on such huge sums of money for the development stage they keep tweaking the game when it's already out this model requires flexibility but can be issues advantage. pretty safe because you need to get the game out quickly to see how players interact with it do what they like and dislike me instead of working for half a year with no feedback from me getting hired to see a stinker much if it. could be games. has only two games so far. they've got plenty of ideas that are focused on keeping the eleven million active players i don't mind and factory touching. the games have embraced one of the industry's new trends live ops that means releasing games as early as possible and using player feedback to constantly improve the product gaming platform steam even has

planned before you launch your campaign. pitching your new game to investors can be a way of securing money early on there are even special investment funds for the gaming industry in london venture partners is one of the biggest it's currently involved with twenty game companies. we are early stage investors so a lot of the investments we do are based on maybe two guys with an idea on a pitch they haven't registered a company yet so really really really early. investors tend to be more focused on the market potential of developers and their products than on the content of the game itself. we don't invest in games per se we want to see that the plan you have house i'm basing to become a leader in that field if you go oh in that category but you will know more and be better able to service customers in that segment on that mobile that you've identified than anyone else but also kind of the key pieces for us to get excited.
