and he maintained his record of not dropping a set all week as the russians 4th title this year that puts him in the conversation as one of the sport's best for us and this is a guy you don't need to keep up with a great deal of people go for the over the direction home the 4th time for the most recently that we can come up with at least the bottom of the valley that the last dragons this word has called the home of those who used. to agree books on. unity and justice and freedom the 1st words of the german national anthem and the 3 central valley was that formed the foundation of this country how have these values developed in the 1st one germany come here is it to live by and defend the principles of unity justice and freedom in our every tomorrow. our journey. series starts october 21st on d w. when

i was a teenager kids my age wanted to become pop stars all go to hollywood but today many creative team stream of making it in the world of gaming some game designers have enjoyed huge overnight success and their products i enjoyed by millions of people around the world but what is it that makes games so fascinating and what makes a game a real hit today on ship. in 2018 in the global gaming industry generated say is a 40000000000 euros a new record and talk among go which is one of the best known smartphone games around has made the developers 1800000000 euro so far games have become a global cultural phenomenon more than 200000000 people play fortnight even i have tried out some of the games called victory dances even though survival games really

my thing actually my 13 year old nephew said my dancing was obsolete embarrassing but maybe that's exactly what makes games so popular today billeted 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. to survival games battle royale mode is hugely popular and so are the players unique outfits and dances. some of them were inspired by movie music videos and even ordinary people or ensure 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. your favorite. game concert by. the 1st of its kind in the world. and also set a new record on the twitch streaming video platform last year 628000 people watched a fortnight stream by program. part of the reason for this success is called game as n.f.l. star. rabbit drive a scot and pop star drake games have the power to unite people from all areas of society. much more than that. game in 1960.

resistible. designed to make people around the world. became a part of our entertainment culture. just a matter of time before the 1st night. fortnight movies hit 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 40000000 a year and employs some 100 full time staff members the company's games. and i. have been downloaded more than 65000000 times and coley big games of the success

without the. in best of my material side 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 it was. that they had no history in game design and his friends one day started to work on one and. it probably helped that they had 2 i t and 2 engineering students in the team. they invested lots of their free time and eventually released final minus haikus. games are all about players carrying out simple tasks and i don't mind a talking game is not to take up and sell natural resources you can get hooked on these kinds of games even as people and you tend to spend short periods playing them their ticket for smartphones could be big games has now released a 2nd game i don't actually talking it's also free to download the company ends

money and sententious is. 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 because there are special events for the live ops for example at halloween of christmas there's something new for the player every weekend those of us are so focused in their good games are constantly undergoing development and changing got to push. ups develop this feedback about games so they no longer have to in not 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. receive reduced 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 with me you never see

a shrink or much difference if. they play games. there's only 2 games so far. they've got plenty of ideas that are focused on keeping the 11000000 active players if i don't mind and fetch the touching happy. 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 their 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 30 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 ruth's 50 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 1st 3 at dates 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 $1.00 of the biggest it's currently involved with 20 game companies. we are early stage investors so a lot of the investments we do are based on maybe 2 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 go ome 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 but also kind of the key pieces for us to get excited. turned us getting and invested to spot your idea in the crowd can be tricky let's be. honest many games are very simular in late 2018 there were almost 300000 gaming apps available on google play but despite the choice i only ended up with 61 games on my smartphone what's important is to have a catchy idea like this. 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 on wide western mayors aged $15.00 to $35.00 those some companies are slowly looking for new target audiences as well finding a need can be a recipe for success. shop has my service not and nancy out here is from the confessional and there are also characters in the kids' legends game developers i can name companies that. it was especially targeted towards young african k. they wanted to give young people a model 1st vision of what a superhero looks like this is very necessary to change the mindset of the younger generations to come we need to start seeing superhero dream cool stuff with our fantasy is very powerful it can change people's mindset and give

people hope. the game is designed to make african culture known worldwide. genin gaming meanwhile target female players age 45 years and as a journey and pulls parallel are some of the biggest titles they're all about finding hidden objects they have cool graphics and a story line that progress is week by week. in the gaming industry still has a lot of white men. we try to hire a range of our workforce is a 3rd female and from 40 different countries with a bird was for if not see one hand the base stars have range your brain is also tapping into new target audiences they create video games that can be played without a joystick or controller instead players use gestures to control the game which is thought to stimulate the brain the. best economy not so on combining majority neural physiological and cognitive challenges in memory that's what we're trying to

achieve that is optimal for therapy and prevention so tear up heels for kev and so on. and so it seems that keeping physically and mentally fit through gaming has proven not only to be great fun but also to be a successful business. so what is it that makes the game a success it definitely helps if developers create a kind of community for example with early access and live ops though a real gaming hit is one that manages to take the leap from the virtual world to the real world where everyone's talking about it and they know the characters moves and faces when even people who don't play it know all about it so what do you make of the rise of gaming what are your inside a gaming tips that isn't on facebook on d w dot com and on you tube well we have some sound scientific facts about why gaming
