He knew he wanted a game that was unpredictable and engaging, while being suited to the mobile platform. He spoke at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) in 2016 to discuss how he designed mechanics and polished the game.įumoto started with the platform he wished to make a game for (mobile devices), as well as referencing a game he liked, “Spelunky”. I plan to design this game for the mobile platform to take advantage of its mobility and touch screen This game would use the submission experience and require the player to log into the game on a regular basis to catch up with their virtual friends by taking them out to coffee, calling and texting them, going to events with them and hosting dinner parties, among other things. The goal of the game would be to have as many friends in favour as possible. The more contact you have with these friends, the better the relationship. The idea of the game is to meet and make friends. This is inspired by the Tamagotchi, Fallout Shelter and The Sims. My idea for a project is a friend simulator. Submission games work particularly well on mobile platforms due to their mobility and the touch screen, making the player feel satisfied every time they tap the screen to collect resources. Many people are playing games on mobile devices and for short periods of time, for example during a break in work or school, while travelling or in bed. I have since played other submission games to understand how and why these games are popular. I did play, and frankly took a dislike to the game. I was blindly opposed to the genre due to Facebook games such as farmville, that I was constantly bombarded by my friends on Facebook to play.

I was impressed with the abstract graphics, funny and slightly absurd story line and the way that it intrigued me to keep playing the game until the end. I first looked at Spaceplan critically about four weeks ago. I have never enjoyed playing these games due to the monotony of clicking to gain resources or having to keep returning to the game on a regular basis, however, I have the pleasure of choosing this genre for a project as I have been studying this genre for a few weeks now. I have recently started looking at clicker (or submission) games as a genre. This audience values articles which they believe have no bias, whether they know that the big publishers are “paying” for favorable reviews or not, doesn’t seem to weigh in to the controversy. The “gamers” would argue that favoritism exists, but would ignore the thousands of dollars spent by the big companies to get more favorable reviews. They are introduced by mutual friends, or these developers are existing acquaintances or friends (after all, they would have quite a lot in common), or they have been exposed to a developer through game events or conferences.īrendan argues that mainstream “gamers” see the second relationship as a controversy. Generally, these relationships are more personal. The second aspect is the relationship between these journalists and smaller indie developers. These publishers throw money at these critics by flying them across states or countries, putting them up in expensive hotels, and making sure the critics have a good time and mindset going into the demo, hopefully to garner a positively biased review that may not necessarily depict the experience of the complete game.

These companies allow the press to preview particular parts of the upcoming game in a very controlled way. First, that of the big publishing companies. The relationship that Brendan highlights has several aspects. This article described the relationships between game press and publishers. Brendan Keogh published an article on Overland on 5th September 2014 regarding the video game culture, journalist bias and minorities in the game industry.
