Video Game Development Trends

With the growing trend of Microtransactions in video games, game companies become aware of another means of making a profit other than through the mere purchase of their games. Through distribution of digital goods for use in the game in exchange for real world money, game companies found a way to profit in a way that did not necessarily rest on the merits of the games themselves, but on social engineering and incentive for players to become sources of recurrent revenue.

Cool interview with Kabam's President Andrew Sheppard. Just once I want to be able to say this: "Yeah, our revenues rose 100 per cent in 2013 to almost double our forecast for the year. We ended 2013 with a ton of great momentum. Internally, there's a general excitement and enthusiasm about where we're going, how we're doing it and increasingly why we're doing it – people are pretty fired up.

iOS7 has many gaming implications. So beautiful iOS7 calls out for new imagination and games.

Virtual Reality - So which technology do we look to, which will allow us this needed increase in reactive response? Two words: virtual reality. Via Peter Azzopardi
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:
How can we adapt "cloud gamiing" to business? Can we use the cloud to store WHO and WHERE information to "match the hatch" of where you are and what you are doing and then make a game out of all of it?

Given that true virtual reality hardware is pretty much non-existent at this point, current games are extremely limited.

Gaming For Social Good & Cure Cancer Starter If you don't think my eyes got wide and my breath caught in my throat a little when I saw this post about how Zynga supports social good via game play you don't know me and my Cure Cancer Starter project, our crowdfunding platform for cancer research (http://www.curecancerstarter.org). . It may seem strange to think of making curing cancer a game, but not to me (a cancer survivor). I don't care WHAT helps as long as engagement, awareness and donations all go UP. Can Zynga help cure cancer? You bet. Am I going to be calling on Zynga to help do jus that? You bet.

Interesting post about how video games are becoming micropayment gateways. We suspect that trend, one we observed with Harvard Business Review about five years go, will multiply and morph into many business channels.
