Intel and Unity Technologies come together to make mobile gaming better
Intel has announced that it will be working with Unity Technologies in order to make mobile games better. The game industry has become awash with mobile developers eager to find success in the gaming field with their small, yet entertaining games. Mobile gaming has become quite lucrative for the industry overall and even large development studios and game publishers are entering into the mobile space to take advantage of the growing popularity of mobile games. In order for these games to continue finding success, however, they will need to perform better on mobile platforms.
Tablets will soon rule the mobile gaming field
The tablet market is growing at a rapid pace and these mobile devices happen to be quite popular with those interested in mobile gaming. Intel wants to ensure that games can be played well on any device that includes one of its chipsets. Unity has agreed to extend support of its technologies to Android, Intel-enabled devices. This will allow all games using Unity code to run faster on these devices and make better use of the device’s processor and graphic technology.
Unity game engine will support development of games for Intel-enabled Android devices
The Unity game engine has become a staple of the game development space. Many developers are beginning to use this engine to create mobile games that are visually appealing and enjoyable. The game engine is able to facilitate development of games for various platforms, and expanding the platforms it supports will allow for a wider range of games to be developed using the engine.
Intel plans to sell at least 40 million tablet processors by the end of this year
Mobile gaming is a big business and Intel has a stake therein. The company is the dominating force in the chip market and is well on its way to solidifying its position in the market through a stronger focus on mobile technology. Intel plans to sell 40 million processors specifically designed for tablet devices by the end of this year.
Mobile gaming continues to prove its lucrative nature
When it comes to mobile gaming, revenue is not typically something that receives much attention beyond those developing and publishing these games. A new report from Juniper Research shows that it may be time to take mobile games more seriously, however, as they are beginning to represent one of the game industry’s most lucrative business sectors. While the industry has been growing more focused on the mobile space, most developers and publishers still consider mobile games to be little more than novelty products that have limited value.
Mobile games revenue to reach $28.9 billion by 2016
According to the report from Juniper Research, mobile game revenue is expected to reach $28.9 billion by 2016, up 38% from the $20 billion in revenue estimated for this year. The developers behind these mobile games are taking serious efforts to maximize their product’s earning potential, primarily through making their games more engaging to ensure their value among consumers. Most people tend to jump from one mobile game to the next very quickly, which makes it difficult for any single game to be considered high value. Developers are interested in seeing this trend put to rest.
Tablet users are more likely to spend money on the games that they play
The report shows that tablet users are particularly fond of mobile games. Tablet devices are well suited for gaming because of their stronger processors and larger screens. These screens, in particular, are favored among gamers because they make it easier to see the game that is being played and add more convenience in terms of control. Tablet users are more likely to spend money on mobile games than those using smartphones.
Developers to focus more on convenience and interactivity when creating games for the coming years
The report suggests that developers will place more consideration on convenience when developing games for the future. Mobile gaming has always been popular because of its accessible nature, but some games are considerably less convenient to play than others. Developers are also keen to make their games more valuable to consumers by making the games themselves more engaging.
