The Pre-Production stage Of Game Development Explained

The app game market in India and across the world is huge. If you have a game idea and it does strike off with users, you will be in riches very soon. But in order to actualize your game idea into action, a lot of effort and time is required. You must also know about the game development process, which includes the pre-production, production and post production stages. The pre-production stage is the stage where your idea transpires to concrete visual representations, which can be later executed in the production or development stage. Let us look at the steps involved in the pre-production stage of mobile game development:

1)Decide Upon Your Target Audience: For users of what demographics do you wish to make your mobile game? Are they from urban centres or rural centres? Which country? What age-group?

Answers to important questions will help you in the succeeding steps of choosing a suitable revenue model and platform, along with the significant steps of ideation and concept generation.

2)Choose Platform: If your target audience is rich and living in urban spaces, you must choose the iOS platform over any other platform as iOS devices are the most used devices among the rich. On the other hand, if you wish to make a game for the not-so-rich, then android is the most suitable platform option. For building an iOS game, you must choose and employ a suitable iOS game development company in India. A game built for iOS holds the advantage of generating more revenues than an android game as studies show that the former generates 4x more average revenue per user than the latter.

3)Ideation: The next step is to figure out what kind of a game do you want to build. Should it be adventurous or related to a sport? The answer will depend on the demographics of your target users. For instance, if you are making if for male teenagers, located in India, then, building a cricket game can be an ideal choice.

4)Storyboarding and Prototyping : After figuring out what kind of game you want to create, you must proceed with deciding upon the characters, storyline and visual backgrounds of your game. Have these aspects sketched. Then, build and revise prototypes with regular feedbacks from your team.

5)Designing and Effects: After you finalize upon the final prototype on paper, it’s time you move to high-fidelity visual representations. Also, think of the visual and sound effects you’d like to add in the various scenes of your game. So, finalize upon the animations and sounds as well.
