Sometimes having no game plan can pay off: The story of Snail Bob
Developing Snail Bob, a casual web and mobile game for families and kids, was a risky endeavor in hindsight. We had no specific theme plan at the beginning of the franchise. Instead we let a free flow of creativity lead us as we designed the game. It turned out that the random variety endeared players and built fans, but for us as developers, we quickly learned how much more work we had bitten off for ourselves. How it began: We started by creating a short prototype of our new character, Snail Bob, crawling by himself. It was really funny, but we still needed to know more about how players could interact with him. Initially we wanted to give players the opportunity to drag physical objects, but after creating the prototype we discovered that dragging those objects made the gameplay too difficult. We made changes so players could control Bob using different levers, buttons and other tools in order to get him to finish each level.This resulted in an unusual mix between physics, puzzle and point-and-click games. The levels were all quite different. We created a number of unique animations per character per level, with the goal of delivering variety and surprises for players. This of course demanded unique code for each behavior; and often that code is used only once in a game session. Like cartoons of the old days when an artist drew 24 pictures for one second in a cartoon, we could spend several days on one level that the player completes in a single minute.
New survey shows that piracy and discoverability are still pressing issues for game developers today
It's no secret that developing a successful mobile game isn't easy in today's increasingly digital age, but I don't think that any of us gamers truly realized just how hard some of those challenges may be until now. The new App Developers Conference (ADC) has conducted an extensive survey that serves to show just how difficult it is to turn a profit with your latest mobile game, let alone to get mobile gamers to actually play it legitimately.The ADC surveyed over 250 solo- and small team-developers who primarily make games and other apps for iOS and Android platforms (other operating systems like Windows and Mac, in addition to web-based games also had a strong showing in the survey, although iOS and Android were in the majority by a clear margin, representing over 80% and over 60%, respectively).As some might have expected, the survey results show that app-based game development is not all that lucrative as it might initially have been cracked out to be. A staggering 40% of all developers surveyed made zero revenue at all from their latest applications, while an equally poor 49% made a disheartening profit of zero. And while most of the developers who participated in the survey work out of very small-scale studios and have only been in the development game for a handful of years, it's still a pretty tough pill to swallow.
Valve unveils SteamOS; a new Linux-based operating system for your living room
The first of three mysterious announcements from Valve has been unveiled today, and it looks like Steam will be getting a brand new free operating system designed to take advantage of your TV and your living room. It's certainly the next logical step for the innovative gaming company after the recent success of their Steam Big Picture Mode.The newly coined "SteamOS" will use a Linux-based architecture combined with a Steam gaming experience that is fine-tuned for the big screen. But the best part about the new operating system so far? The fact that Steam OS will be available as a "free stand-alone operating system for living room machines.""The official announcement page for SteamOS tells us that the operating system is capable of running on "any living room machine," and that it will come with a significant performance upgrade that not only increases the breadth of graphics processing, but also audio performance as well.
5 Angry Birds movie-crossover games we’d like to see
Since the highly anticipated Angry Birds Star Wars II from Rovio was finally released earlier this week, all of us here at Gamezebo have been plenty busy flinging our Rebel Birds at the legions of evil Imperial Piggies as we keep making our push towards the ominous Pig Star. But just because we've been having a blast from here to the stars, that doesn't mean we also haven't been racking our brains to think of some other beloved movie franchises that might make an awesome fit for the Angry Birds treatment!So get ready to see your favorite irritated avians adopting some new fan-favorite roles, from wizards, to superheroes, to toys in a toy box: let's just hope the kind folks at Rovio will be listening! And as much as I love a good horror movie every now and then, I ultimately refrained from including my all-time favorite Saw series on the list, because, well, I don't think anyone would really want to see that. But keep scrolling down to see all of the fan-favorite movie franchises that did make our cut, and be sure to let us know where you'd like to see the Angry Birds series fly off to next down in the replies!"
Free Games and Sales: Nimble Quest, Legend of Grimrock, and more!
Being the online news source that we are, I'd like to think that most of us here at Gamezebo stay pretty privy to the current events that go on in the world. And if there's one current event in the world of gaming that everyone seems to be talking about today, it's the unheard-of milestone that Rockstar Games has managed to achieve this week with their highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto V: making $1 billion in only three days.Now while most people are looking at this in the light of what it means for gaming, and what kinds of things could be possible for AAA franchises in the future, I've been busy thinking about all of the great video games I could score with that cool $1 billion! And given all of the great new sales going on this weekend, not only would I be able to buy everything on this list without blinking an eye, but then I'd still have enough left over to buy every other video game in existence, and maybe an ice cream cone or two."So as always, if my mind has wandered too much in thinking about how I would spend my theoretical billion, be sure to let me know of any other free games and sales that I may have missed down in the replies!
Hands-on with Citizens of Earth
We've been waiting oh-so patiently for Citizens of Earth since our first peek at its colorful, cartoony 2D visuals back in January. While the wait is not quite over, its launch on Kickstarter this week and the inclusion of a playable alpha demo has sated some of that hunger and confirmed many of our hopes: namely, that this game is going to be good. And it's going to be even better for fans of Earthbound.The story follows our "hero," the Vice President of the World, during his post-election vacation at his childhood home. After being forced out of bed by his Chrono Trigger-cameo,curtain-pulling mother, the VP decides to head to Moonbucks for a late-morning pick-me-up. What begins as a simple trip to the local coffee shop quickly turns into a series of challenges and mysteries that need solving. Why are protestors picketing on your lawn? What happened to all the bags of Special Blend coffee? Can anyone stop the sick bee that is infecting hikers?"As the Vice President of the World, our hero has one main talent: recruiting followers. This comes in handy since he's also above fighting his own battles (because he can't risk ruining his $500 suit, come on!). The first two, default recruits are your brother and mother, but there are dozens of other NPCs available to charm into your party. Most require you to complete a goal first: for instance, the Barista will join you once you find her missing Special Blend coffee, while the Baker will join after you run off the guy who's trying to take his giant donut. Each character comes equipped with their own stats and special skills: Mom can heal status effects with hugs, while the Conspiracy Guy can interrogate enemies to learn their weaknesses.
Diamond Dash unveils league system
Taking advantage of the amazing new features of iOS 7, Wooga has unveiled today a new global league system update for their popular gem-matching game, Diamond Dash. The announcement marks Diamond Dash as being the very first arcade game to incorporate a global multiplayer league system, in which you'll be able to compete against 173 million other players from all over the world, to find out just who's the best at matching those gems.Here's how the new global league system in Diamond Dash is going to work: players will first work their way through the beginning Bronze, Silver, and Gold leagues, before moving their gem-rushing skills up the ladder to compete in the prestigious Diamond League. The system will also match players against each other according to their own personal skill, and the leagues are also said to provide cross-platform support on both iPhone and iPad, for the 33 million players who have downloaded the game on iOS since its initial App Store release in December of 2011."And since this is a worldwide event we're talking about here, Wooga has also given us a few global statistics about where Diamond Dash players stand so far. For instance, the player with the best average score currently lives in the Vatican City, while the players who blast the most gems per round typically seem to be from Taiwan and Austria. So will you be starting up your own Diamond Dash league this week and putting your country on the gem-matching map? Be sure to let us know down in the replies!
Zynga brings speed-MOBA Solstice Arena to Mac
Here's something you might not have expected to wake up to in the world of Mac gaming this morning: Zynga has taken their popular mobile speed-MOBA Solstice Arena to the Mac App Store. For those keeping score at home, this is the first notable move Zynga has made in the desktop downloads space.I say first "notable," because Zynga's real money gambling titles in select markets were downloadable too - but with a limited geography as well as a limited appeal (and one that must not have worked out too well, considering Zynga's decision to step out of the cash gambling business), those titles lacked the potential that Solstice Arena has to reach a large audience on desktops.And that potential is huge."Free-to-play has quickly become a dominant force in the world of gaming, but depending on your platform, success seems largely tied to genre. On desktop, one of the hottest free-to-play genres is MOBA. From League of Legends to DOTA 2, everyone seems to love diving into team-based matches of territorial dominance.
