HTML5 multiplayer games distribution & promotion

HTML5 multiplayer games distribution & promotion

Recently, I started a discussion about multiplayer HTML5 games. As you have seen, such games are currently working well on both desktop and mobile devices simultaneously. This time, I will focus on methods which can help you to distribute such games. There are a couple ways, and if your game is good enough, you may be able to depend on only your resources and ideas. But if you didn’t manage to gain enough resources for marketing, promotion or game production you may always use different ways to show your product to the gamers. Market...

The Holidays are over – what are our plans now?

The Holidays are over – what are our plans now?

Summer is a period when everything stops or slows down for a while. The industry takes a break. Developers and publishers pack their bags, leave their offices and go for holiday. Of course it also happened in our case, but we didn’t totally stop.

And we made it. Space 4 In a Row and Steam Simon came out recently and...

HTML5 multiplayer games – do they really work?

HTML5 multiplayer games – do they really work?

Using HTML5 technology in cross-platform multiplayer games can raise many questions and doubts. Nevertheless, there have already been successful attempts at creating products that allow gamers to have fun on various operating systems and devices simultaneously. Of course these games still can’t have complicated animations and other features which cause worse performance, but they prove that it is possible, more possible than a couple years ago. There are also bigger (standalone) multiplayer games for hardcore gamers which are also...

Looking at HTML5 and Flash – finding alternative solutions for mobile entertainment

Looking at HTML5 and Flash – finding alternative solutions for mobile entertainment

This time I won’t be trying to explain why one technology is better than the other. It won’t be a “Flash vs. HTML5” argument or any research proving superiority of any of the technologies. Additionally, I won’t be comparing native games with web mobile games, because these are two separate approaches to game development, and in my opinion this comparison is pointless. This entry will show that a change of approach by developers towards the future of mobile gaming is necessary so new business opportunities can...

Profits for HTML5 games are growing.

This entry is partly a reprint of an original article. It also contains my comments and reactions. Lately, I stumbled upon an article by Peter Driessen, Co-founder of Spilgames titled: “Watch profits grow this year for HTML5 games.” It seems that discussion which was started by developers and publishers is getting louder in the last few months. Just like the predictions showed – 2013 became a good year for HTML5 gaming. We noticed a significant growth of new networks and games lately. I can also confirm that in our...

Play “run” games or go outside, run for real, and still have fun?

Play “run” games or go outside, run for real, and still have fun?

Writing this entry was real fun for me (and a challenge too). I decided to use the keyword “run” in two different worlds, the world of gaming and the real world where I performed a field test. At first you would think that real running and gaming don’t have really much in common. In a run game, your only activity is pressing buttons, keys, etc. While when you run for real, your whole body gets a workout, you sweat, and eventually your muscles ache. Do you get any benefits from both? As a gamer, you get satisfaction from...
