  • Game Developer Index 2010 Foreword
    SWEDISH GAME INDUSTRY’S REPORTS 2011 Game Developer Index 2010 Foreword It’s hard to imagine an industry where change is so rapid as in the games industry. Just a few years ago massive online games like World of Warcraft dominated, then came the breakthrough for party games like Singstar and Guitar Hero. Three years ago, Nintendo turned the gaming world upside-down with the Wii and motion controls, and shortly thereafter came the Facebook games and Farmville which garnered over 100 million users. Today, apps for both the iPhone and Android dominate the evolution. Technology, business models, game design and marketing changing almost every year, and above all the public seem to quickly embrace and follow all these trends. Where will tomorrow’s earnings come from? How can one make even better games for the new platforms? How will the relationship between creator and audience change? These and many other issues are discussed intensively at conferences, forums and in specialist press. Swedish success isn’t lacking in the new channels, with Minecraft’s unprecedented success or Battlefield Heroes to name two examples. Independent Games Festival in San Francisco has had Swedish winners for four consecutive years and most recently we won eight out of 22 prizes. It has been touted for two decades that digital distribution would outsell traditional box sales and it looks like that shift is finally happening. Although approximately 85% of sales still goes through physical channels, there is now a decline for the first time since one began tracking data. The transformation of games as a product to games as a service seems to be here.

  • Markets and Distribution Channels
    SeGaBu project 1 (7) SERIOUS GAMES AND BUSINESS Markets and distribution channels Markets and distribution channels are very closely connected to the business model and monetization of the game itself. In this document business model and monetization is not dealt with. Introduction to serious games market Serious games application areas are many. In the book Serious Games - Foundations, Concept and Practice the following application areas were presented (Dörner, Dörner, Göbel, Effelsberg . & Wiemeyer, 2016, p. 320) Defence & Civil Forces Culture & Management & Tourism Business Pervasive Games Training Prevention & Rehabilitation Education Health Social Awareness Fig. 1. Serious games application areas Serious games for training and simulation Training and simulation games may represent the biggest and economically most relevant application area for serious games. The examples for this group are military training and simulation, civil relief organizations (police forces), training environments for service staff in various service sectors (bus/car drivers, pilots/flight attendants, etc.). The games can be either in-house training or public game markets. (Dörner et al., 2016, 321.) Digital educational games Edugames aim to teach users information in an enjoyable way (Alvarez, 2008, 19). Digital educational games are quite close to serious games for training and simulation. The main difference is the target user groups of children, students, trainees, families and elderly players. Many educational games exist, which can be used either at school or as supplementary learning material. Some digital educational games originate from research projects. (Dörner et al., 2016, 322.) SeGaBu project 2 (7) SERIOUS GAMES AND BUSINESS Health games The third big application field of serious games represents games for health, covering prevention, rehabilitation, physical exercises, dance or nutrition aiming to support health in general and to enforce a behavior change towards better, more active and heathier lifestyle.
