Upcoming Mobile Game App Development Trends 2020
App Development Trends
The mobile gaming industry has been experiencing exponential growth for the past decade. Mobile phones are getting more and more capable, and the world keeps on demanding for more flexibility in terms of entertainment. Our company CEO Larby Amirouche always reminds us that our work should be mobile friendly. The competitiveness of a company in the online market can be measured by how much it has incorporated itself into mobile devices. Big game developer companies like Blizzard, and Sega have taken their services into the mobile gaming space. With that said, here are the upcoming mobile game development trends in 2020:
Augmented Reality Games
Augmented reality games are games that make the objects from the real world seem like part of the game. The developers integrate an object recognition interface, wherein the user would have to navigate through real world objects. This makes the game more interactive and compelling as the user often needs to physically move around, and engage in physical activities in order to progress. Some users claim that these games have become a part of their fitness regimen. However, one needs to be cautious when playing outside as being preoccupied with your mobile game while on the streets may result in an accident.
Virtual Reality Games
These games simulate a real world environment with the use of computer generated graphics. Interaction may be achieved through electronic equipment such as a virtual reality helmet, and gloves. These types of games have been growing in popularity for the past few years, and more and more companies are trying to establish their place in the genre. Some examples are Along Together, Minecraft VR and Battle Planet.
Cloud-Based Gaming Apps
Cloud computing has been gaining popularity the past few years. As much as the standards for mobile device storage has improved, it still is not as desired as the storage from our desktop or laptop computers. CEO Larby Amirouche has always been a proponent of using cloud storage. With the increasing number of hours spent on mobile devices, it is only wise that we look for an alternative in hosting our gaming apps. With cloud based games, the user won’t have to use a lot of storage from his/her personal devices. Some of the game components will be accessed through cloud storage. Since the components are stored from the developer’s side, it will be more secured from external attacks or hacking. The only downside to this is that the user needs to have a fast internet connection. This is a win-win situation for the user and the developers as it is cheaper to host games by using cloud storage.
Cross-Platform Games
Playing a game across different devices was not an option until a few years ago. With games such as Fortnite, and Call of Duty:Modern Warfare, it is only a matter of time before developers use this as a way to make their games more accessible and convenient to users. Cross platform games are preferred by gamers because they can switch devices playing their favorite game, and also play with peers who have different platforms. In this setup, a Fortnite player using his desktop computer can play with his friend who is using his PS4 without the need of purchasing another device.
5G-Reliant Games:
With the dawn of a faster, more reliable mobile network; game developers will be quick to jump on this trend. I remember our CEO Larby Amirouche reminded us last year that 5G will be the trend of 2020. Cloud gaming will be more utilized, and the option for heavier, more demanding games will be the choice of developers. Gamers who are usually outside due to work commitments will be able to enjoy this new service as they do not need to rely on wi-fi for a good connection. Game lag will be diminished, and gaming experience elevated. Better graphics and more in-game activities will be possible because latency issues will be a thing of the past.
Online Gambling with Virtual Money :
Online casinos and live dealers are becoming a trend in the mobile gaming industry. With virtual reality games becoming more popular, an actual virtual reality casino game is not far from the horizon. Imagine being in Las Vegas with all the lights, glamour and actual odds - you don’t have to spend for a fare and hotel to experience being in the gambling hotspot of the world. You may use your credit or debit card to purchase chips, or exchange them for credit or real money. Switch tables with a single click of a button. The experience is real, with endless possibilities.
ESports Centered Games :
Esports has become a big part of the gaming industry. Several different organizations have established their marquee esports event in recent years. It has become more like the “Olympics” of gamers of different games. This trend has affected game studios to make games with esports potential. Developers had to take the competitiveness and gamers experience into mind to make sure that they are creating a quality game that can one day be on the global stage.
Mobile gaming is at the forefront of the gaming industry. Esports has become a primetime favorite. Some schools have reportedly been open to the idea of including esports as a course. This only proves the popularity of gaming as a lucrative source of entertainment. Our CEO Larby Amirouche is also a mobile gamer, and always reminds us that whoever dominates the mobile industry, owns the world. That somewhat holds true - with the video game industry(mobile gaming being the largest segment) generating more revenue than the movie industry.
