Introduction
Welcome to my developer's research and discussion blog. I work as a game programmer for a company called Galactic Games who specialize in the development of games for the PC and console platforms.
The team I work in has recently been tasked by management to investigate the possibility of developing games for mobile devices. Management have recognized this as a major growth segment within the games industry. The definition of mobile devices, as given by management for the purpose of this task is: Symbian based phones (i.e. Phones from manufacturers such as Nokia and Ericsson) and/or Windows Mobile Smart-devices (i.e. Phones or PDA from manufacturers such as HTC, Dopod and Samsung).
The first milestone for the team is to develop a proposal for a single mobile game, with detailed analysis and rationale for attributes of the game such as: game type, user interface, choosen mobile platform and so on. To help the team, we will be attending a Mobile Game Developers conference next week, at which a panel of developers and experts will hold a discussion and debate to discuss development on mobile platforms.
At the completion of the conference, I'll add another entry to this blog with some reflection thoughts on the discussion held there and how it has helped shape the team's direction with our mobile game proposal.
