Mobile (co-sponsors of GameHack) transfer of advice for budding developers who want to add a key to its social game

This blog is editorially controlled by BlueVia, sponsor of the blog applications Guardian

On Saturday, April 28, the aspiring game developers with experience will meet at Pinewood Studios in GameHack with a simple mission: make the best game possible within 24 hours. But what kind of game where you try to create?

The mobile game market has changed dramatically over the past year, from premium to free-to-play games. So what makes a budding new developer has to do to make the game freemium? Where to find inspiration? And what are the important elements and characteristics are not included in the design of your game?

The simple answer is to do something fun, players can also share. This may seem obvious. However, the types of casual games often associate with social Facebook does not attract many game designers, because they seem to share the same values ??as emotional hardcore games.

casual social games are designed for a mass audience, but it's not an excuse for them to be soft - have yet to capture the imagination. The most important thing is that they can not afford to alienate potential players with dark themes or punishing learning curve before they can start enjoying the work.

Share the experience with others is another challenge. Social games with asynchronous (ie, not in real time) information sources have been accused of not being very sociable, at least compared to live games in real time. After all, it really is sharing if it is not really playing together at the same time, or if the trade of his friends as resources for your game?

With the rise of consoles and handhelds that RTS games worth owning a PC term for

One of the most depressing things about the demise of the PC is inevitable that certain types of games are endangered with it. Consoles and handhelds have always struggled to cope with large maps and selecting multiple units, and it's really all there is to play real games in real-time strategy. However, still my favorite player and a real alternative to multiplayer in Call of Duty or World of Warcraft.

So it's nice to see the old forces gathering for one last hurray RTS. This spring is full of great strategy games - play ground, air and sea ...

oil rush

- (now - PC / £ 9.99)

Tower Defense Games

are generally regarded as a sort of bastard cousin of the RTS, but we have not been attempted on this scale since the brilliant rush bitmaps oil "has to Z. . do with hoarding and territorial defense, but much of the real struggle is on track You can upgrade your defenses turn, but you are limited to where you can set, you can send your forces in the battle - but how is their fight. all levels has a mad rush to secure plant and equipment they provided precious oil, with the battles of the joint to know exactly when to defend their position and time to move on.

There are problems with this hybrid, at least not to lose the ability to make impulsive decisions. Suppose you just sent his forces to another place to detect the formation of a surprise attack behind you. Can you just turn around and defend? No, you have to walk across the map and go all the way back, when your base has been reduced. However, the AI ??works well in combat and there are many improvements to their units and towers - the game offers a drip from start to finish. The view of the fully upgraded weapons to mount a defense is pretty impressive, but the attacks are even better, with a change of F keys one at a dynamic camera that creates an innate sense of the root of their forces into battle.

You see, in this game is not simply decided by the nation v nation, very few of all provinces, each tycoon plots and all the trees of the family whose loyalty and ambition is to be managed through micro-threatening, corruption, marriage and blackmail. Each race is different, very different social pressures to consider. In fact, the fight against himself is something of a disappointment, but it's not really what you play - is to the intrigues and ambitions behind him. The games are things slow and prolonged, but very rewarding when your empire grows as a result of his own attention to detail and foresight.

When I got Trials HD

in 2009, was not so sure that the game is the level of success that other fans, and has been earned. These concerns were ultimately unjustified, as it is now among the best sellers of all time Top available for Xbox Live Arcade. Better yet, RedLynx has managed to create a follow-up.

As its name implies,

Evolution not so much a new game, because it is an extension of everything we have come to the love (and hate) of its predecessor. That said, do not come into this thing expecting more than a few new features and a fresh coat of paint.
After playing in the early levels, you'll understand why the new content justify another full benefit.

Evolution

(Xbox Live Arcade)

Developer: RedLynx

While this may just be my imagination, it is surprising how quickly he managed to make Evolution

not touch Trials HD for some time. In short, the controls feel good. Those of you who have never acquired the habit of physics is likely to face similar obstacles here.

host the most must be the same levels, both in terms of their appearance and composition. I will not go so far as to say that each class has a unique aesthetic or hook of the game, but it's absolutely amazing how many. Taking> Test outside, it was a wise decision indeed.

In general, the pace is excellent and much better. The trails are open in the groups for the next round, will need to purchase a certain amount of medals, gold is worth more than silver and bronze. They also play through a tutorial level from time to time, including explicit instructions on how to perform moves more and more sophisticated (eg, bunny hops and riding steep slopes).

those concerned not to have the skills to unlock all

Evolution should not be, necessarily. Make no mistake, the game is finally getting brutal, but the problem is spreading very well. I bet most of you reading this will - with a little perseverance - be able to access all but the last set, which consists of receivables extreme slopes. I missed a word that many in the process of reaching that level.
