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 bust a move. like your favorite character. in february there was even a game concert by. the first of its kind in the world. and also set a new record on the twitch streaming video platform last year six hundred twenty eight thousand people watched a fortnight street by program. part of the reason for this success is called game

as n.f.l. star. rep a dr a scott and pop star drake games have the power to unite people from all areas of society. much more than that. game in one thousand nine hundred sixty and the little pocket sized monsters became global icon. stars. and totally irresistible. game design also helped make people all around the world. became a part of our entertainment culture. just a matter of time before the first night. and fortnight movies hit the big screen there are already fans made trailers online. but lesser known games can be lucrative to twenty sixteen student. started

a small gaming company called fluffy fairy games with some friends the company grew and they later renamed it cody games today they make almost forty million a year and employs some one hundred full time staff members the company's games. and i. have been downloaded more than sixty five million times and coley big games of the success without the. in best of my menstrual cycles no investor would have given us money anyway we were a startup based in a shared studio apartment and we'd never developed a game before the games. that they had no history of game design done and his friends one day started to work on one and. it probably helped that they had to i t. and to the engineering students in the team. they invested lots of their free time and eventually released i don't mind it cycling. 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 fives going to big games has now released a second game idle factory tycoon it's also free to download the company and. sententious. their focus to break the focus isn't on selling games because now the players download them and companies have to keep them happy for months or years because 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 so focused in their 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 so this model requires flexibility but can be issues advantage. pretty safe mistery you need to get the game out quickly to see how players interact with it do what they like and dislike the instead of working for half a year with no feedback was missed didn't have a status thing coming here to. play games. there's only two games so far. they've got plenty of ideas that are focused on keeping the eleven million active players that 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 a special early access area players can try our games in the very early stages though there's no guarantee they will catch on and become the next big thing. some

gaming ideas do quickly evolve into mega projects and can no longer be managed by a small group of friends in which case there are several ways of getting much needed capital. many indie game developers rely on crowd funding to get their projects rolling the kickstarter says only thirty percent of investors stumble upon good ideas by chance most find out about new gaming projects through advertising reports that means developers need to proactively build a community and the very start isn't always the best time for crowd funding. i would recommend who should be at once fifty percent of the way there you need to have a sizeable community. you need to have gameplay and you i really also recommend having at least your first three at dates planned before you launch a 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 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 product 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 own that category but you will know more and be better able to service customers in that segment on that model that you've identified than anyone else also kind of the key pieces for us to get excited. getting and invested to spot your idea in the crowd can be tricky that's. honest

many games are very simular in late twenty eighteen there were almost three hundred thousand gaming apps available on google play but despite the choice i only ended up with sixty one games on my smartphone what's important is to have a catchy idea like this pitch and not just a silly game with funny graphics but one of my favorites at the moment most developers targets what's believed to be the typical game wide western mayors age fifteen to thirty five though some companies are slowly looking for new target audiences as well finding a niche can be a recipe for success. shop has really not some messiah and nancy out here is from the confessional and they're also characters in his legends a game developed by canadian company unless he outs it was especially targeted towards young african players they wanted to give young people
