Critical success factors to improve the game development process from a developer’s perspective Saiqa Aleem 1, Luiz Fernando Capretz 1, and Faheem Ahmed2 1Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Western Ontario, London, ON, Canada. 2 Department of Computing Science, Thompson River University, Kamloops, BC, Canada. E-mail: {saleem4, lcapretz}@uwo.ca, [email protected] Abstract The growth of the software game development industry is enormous and is gaining importance day by day. This growth imposes severe pressure and a number of issues and challenges on the game de- velopment community. Game development is a complex process, and one important game development choice is to consider the developer perspective to produce good-quality software games by improving the game development process. The objective of this study is to provide a better understanding of the devel- oper’s dimension as a factor in software game success. It focusses mainly on an empirical investigation of the effect of key developer factors on the software game development process and eventually on the qual- ity of the resulting game. A quantitative survey was developed and conducted to identify key developer factors for an enhanced game development process. For this study, the developed survey was used to test the research model and hypotheses. The results provide evidence that game development organizations must deal with multiple key factors to remain competitive and to handle high pressure in the software game industry. The main contribution of this paper is to investigate empirically the influence of key de- veloper factors on the game development process.

    Game Level Layout from Design Specification

    EUROGRAPHICS 2014 / B. Lévy and J. Kautz Volume 33 (2014), Number 2 (Guest Editors) Game Level Layout from Design Specification Chongyang Ma∗z Nicholas Vining∗ Sylvain Lefebvrey Alla Sheffer∗ ∗ University of British Columbia y ALICE/INRIA z University of Southern California Abstract The design of video game environments, or levels, aims to control gameplay by steering the player through a sequence of designer-controlled steps, while simultaneously providing a visually engaging experience. Traditionally these levels are painstakingly designed by hand, often from pre-existing building blocks, or space templates. In this paper, we propose an algorithmic approach for automatically laying out game levels from user-specified blocks. Our method allows designers to retain control of the gameplay flow via user-specified level connectivity graphs, while relieving them from the tedious task of manually assembling the building blocks into a valid, plausible layout. Our method produces sequences of diverse layouts for the same input connectivity, allowing for repeated replay of a given level within a visually different, new environment. We support complex graph connectivities and various building block shapes, and are able to compute complex layouts in seconds. The two key components of our algorithm are the use of configuration spaces defining feasible relative positions of building blocks within a layout and a graph-decomposition based layout strategy that leverages graph connectivity to speed up convergence and avoid local minima. Together these two tools quickly steer the solution toward feasible layouts. We demonstrate our method on a variety of real-life inputs, and generate appealing layouts conforming to user specifications.

    Abstract the Goal of This Project Is Primarily to Establish a Collection of Video Games Developed by Companies Based Here In

    Abstract The goal of this project is primarily to establish a collection of video games developed by companies based here in Massachusetts. In preparation for a proposal to the companies, information was collected from each company concerning how, when, where, and why they were founded. A proposal was then written and submitted to each company requesting copies of their games. With this special collection, both students and staff will be able to use them as tools for the IMGD program. 1 Introduction WPI has established relationships with Massachusetts game companies since the Interactive Media and Game Development (IMGD) program’s beginning in 2005. With the growing popularity of game development, and the ever increasing numbers of companies, it is difficult to establish and maintain solid relationships for each and every company. As part of this project, new relationships will be founded with a number of greater-Boston area companies in order to establish a repository of local video games. This project will not only bolster any previous relationships with companies, but establish new ones as well. With these donated materials, a special collection will be established at the WPI Library, and will include a number of retail video games. This collection should inspire more people to be interested in the IMGD program here at WPI. Knowing that there are many opportunities locally for graduates is an important part of deciding one’s major. I knew I wanted to do something with the library for this IQP, but I was not sure exactly what I wanted when I first went to establish a project.
