Gamasutra: Ryan Creighton's Blog - Truth in Advertising: Matching Your Game to Your Pay... - 2 views

www.gamasutra.com/...ame_to_Your_Paying_Players.php

market research

shared by pfiguero on 21 Feb 13 - No Cached
  • The way the market actually works is that you catch wind of a game through a friend or a website, and you eventually stumble upon its page on a digital distribution site like Steam or Good Old Games. You watch the trailer, look at the screenshots, maybe double-check its purported quality by reading Metacritic reviews (or just glancing at the game's damnable Metacritic score) ... and you imagine what the game might be like to play, and whether you'll enjoy it. You create a mental picture of that enjoyment you'll get from the game, and then you compare that to the asking price. If the asking price is aligned with the enjoyment you predict you'll get from the game (and everyone's equation for this is different), AND you have that money to fart away on entertainment, THEN you may just complete the purchase.
  • If i were to approach this exercise completely cynically, i would continue to tweak and refine the page until i got the best potential conversion from my respondents, and then release Spellirium without making any changes to it. Because, speaking absolutely cynically, it doesn't actually matter if the game is good or bad - it only matters that people buy it. But that's not how Untold Entertainment rolls!
  • Of course, i desperately do want to make a good game. So i'll use the Steam page mock-up and survey as a funnel to decide on my testers. Those respondents who report the highest interest in playing the game, and the highest likelihood of buying it, will test the game. At that point, it doesn't matter who is a "proper" word gamer and who isn't: what matters is that i have an obligation to the people who are excited about my game and who want to buy it. If those players struggle to make 3-letters words, and if those players expect long words to be rewarded over tricky words, then i will adjust the game for the sake of those players. Because those players are my paying audience - not some mythical "perfect" players that i've hand-picked to enjoy Spellirium the specific way i've configured it. The players choose my game - not the other way around.

  • Postmortem: Radiangames' Monthly Xbox Live Indie Games Series
  • 1. Scope Control
  • It's amazingly hard to keep a game simple and not to turn it into something epic, so the smaller and more focused the original idea, the better.
  • ...13 more annotations...
  • 2. Playtesting
  • it essentially guarantees your game will be enjoyed by more people than it would have otherwise.
  • 3. Restricted Art Style
  • 4. Upgrades
  • They want something that rewards them and keeps them invested in playing, something beyond the intrinsic rewards of getting better and competing against your own (and others') best scores.
  • 5. Passion vs. Innovation
  • If the games had some innovation in them (Crossfire, Inferno, and Fluid did, in my opinion) that was a bonus. But I knew that getting a game done is hard, and by making games that I had a passion for, I'd be more motivated to play them, improve them, and most importantly finish them.
  • What Went Wrong
  • 1. Pricing Indecision
  • 2. Mental Beatdown Making games is hard in so many ways. It's hard to choose which idea to work on next. It's hard to hone a prototype into a solid direction. It's hard to bring all the different elements together into a cohesive design. It's hard to write music, create art, and code. It's hard to hear people say your game sucks when you thought it was almost done.
  • 3. Minimal Personality There was a great article in Game Developer magazine this past year about how to inject personality into your games. If you've played my games, you may have guessed that I never read it, but you'd be wrong. I just rarely spent time thinking about it.
  • 4. Branding Baggage
  • 5. Too Many Modes

    Dave Roberts explains how he helped grow PopCap Games from a boutique game developer with around 30 employees to a mobile gaming powerhouse that Electronic Arts acquired in 2011 in a deal worth between $750 million to $1.3 billion, one of the biggest acquisitions of all times in the casual gaming industry. Roberts served as PopCap Games CEO from 2005, and earned his MBA from Stanford Graduate School of Business in 1987.

    (Esta fue mi respuesta al articulo orginal) No offense but: Put Simply: First of all It does work, maybe the user who writes the article is the clumsy one, and its not frustrating, at least not for everyone, its quite easy to handle and to interface with. (Esto es solo del post) *Problem 1 with this article: there are two problem two's Problem 2 with this article: in the las part it says that the best interface aren't even Microsoft Games, weren't there any Standards?? What do they mean by Wild West, is there a game named like that?? I keed, but anyway what else is requiered, aside from the Dashboard?? in every Xbox game the only thing u had before Kinect was the Dashboard....maybe a quick game interface. (lo escribi en Ingles por que el post esta en ese idioma, pero en todo caso creo q se nota lo que pienso sobre eso)

Rich Tax Breaks Bolster Video Game Makers - NYTimes.com - 1 views

  • tax incentives — a collection of deductions, write-offs and credits mostly devised for other industries in other eras — now make video game production one of the most highly subsidized businesses in the United States, says Calvin H. Johnson, who has worked at the Treasury Department and is now a tax professor at the University of Texas at Austin.
  • Because video game makers straddle the lines between software development, the entertainment industry and online retailing, they can combine tax breaks in ways that companies like Netflix and Adobe cannot. Video game developers receive such a rich assortment of incentives that even oil companies have questioned why the government should subsidize such a mature and profitable industry whose main contribution is to create amusing and sometimes antisocial entertainment.
  • For example, Electronic Arts of Redwood City, Calif., shipped more than two million copies of Dead Space 2 in the game’s first week on the market this year. It shows a total of $1.2 billion in global profits the last five years using an accounting method that management says captures its operating profits. But largely because of deferred revenue, deductions for executive stock options and a variety of accounting requirements, the company officially reports a net loss for the period. And the company reports that it paid out $98 million in cash for taxes worldwide in those years.

    En este artículo del New York Times se nombran diferentes incentivos que durante años han existido en USA para compañías que inviertan en investigación, y cómo las compañías de videojuegos han utilizado estos incentivos en su provecho... Lo ven como injusto, ya que la investigación en juegos no es fácil que sea beneficiosa para la sociedad en general... También nombran que hay incentivos en muchos países... Cuál debería ser nuestra posición?

    Years of neglect are eroding gaming history. Cartridges rot in garages, companies horde demos that they will never release, and obscure titles fade into the ether. Some games may even be lost forever. The biggest threat to game preservation is the degradation of physical media. Over time, game data and features literally die.
