  • The Video Game Industry an Industry Analysis, from a VC Perspective
    The Video Game Industry An Industry Analysis, from a VC Perspective Nik Shah T’05 MBA Fellows Project March 11, 2005 Hanover, NH The Video Game Industry An Industry Analysis, from a VC Perspective Authors: Nik Shah • The video game industry is poised for significant growth, but [email protected] many sectors have already matured. Video games are a large and Tuck Class of 2005 growing market. However, within it, there are only selected portions that contain venture capital investment opportunities. Our analysis Charles Haigh [email protected] highlights these sectors, which are interesting for reasons including Tuck Class of 2005 significant technological change, high growth rates, new product development and lack of a clear market leader. • The opportunity lies in non-core products and services. We believe that the core hardware and game software markets are fairly mature and require intensive capital investment and strong technology knowledge for success. The best markets for investment are those that provide valuable new products and services to game developers, publishers and gamers themselves. These are the areas that will build out the industry as it undergoes significant growth. A Quick Snapshot of Our Identified Areas of Interest • Online Games and Platforms. Few online games have historically been venture funded and most are subject to the same “hit or miss” market adoption as console games, but as this segment grows, an opportunity for leading technology publishers and platforms will emerge. New developers will use these technologies to enable the faster and cheaper production of online games. The developers of new online games also present an opportunity as new methods of gameplay and game genres are explored.

  • Intel ESS Digital Extremes Case Study
    case STUDY Intel® Solid-State Drives Performance: Data-Intensive Computing Delivering extreme entertainment with Intel® Solid-State Drives Intel® Solid-State Drives help Digital Extremes increase the efficiency of game development and maximize innovation Co-creators of the immensely popular Unreal* series of video games and current producers of several AAA game titles, Digital Extremes is among the most successful game development studios in the world. Sustaining that success requires not only a constant stream of creativity but also an extreme focus on internal efficiency. To speed up key production tasks, the company recently replaced traditional hard disk drives with Intel® Solid-State Drives in several workstations. By accelerating source-code build times up to 46 percent and increasing the speed of other production processes more than 100 percent, the new drives enable development teams to experiment with more creative possibilities while still meeting tight deadlines. CHALLENGE • Increase process efficiency. Maintain a competitive edge by increasing the efficiency of numerous production tasks, from completing new source-code builds to encoding content for multiple game platforms. SOLUTION • Intel® Solid-State Drives. Digital Extremes replaced traditional serial ATA (SATA) hard disk drives with Intel® X25-M Mainstream SATA Solid-State Drives (SSDs) in worksta- tions used by programmers and artists. IMPacT • Faster builds, increased innovation. The Intel SSD solution helped accelerate source-code build times by up to 46 percent, enabling development teams to rapidly incorporate testing feedback and giving them time to explore additional creative ideas without increasing costs. • Rapid ROI. By saving time with key processes, Digital Extremes could recoup the cost of each drive within a month.

  • The Foundations of Song Bird
    Running head: THE FOUNDATIONS OF SONG BIRD GENDER SPECTRUM NEUTRALITY AND THE EFFECT OF GENDER DICHOTOMY WITHIN VIDEO GAME DESIGN AS CONCEPTUALIZED IN: THE FOUNDATIONS OF SONG BIRD A CREATIVE PROJECT SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF ARTS BY CALEB JOHN NOFFSINGER DR. MICHAEL LEE – ADVISOR BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA DECEMBER 2018 THE FOUNDATIONS OF SONG BIRD 2 ABSTRACT Song Bird is an original creative project proposed and designed by Caleb Noffsinger at Ball State University for the fulfillment of a master’s degree in Telecommunication: Digital Storytelling. The world that will be established is a high fantasy world in which humans have risen to a point that they don’t need the protection of their deities and seek to hunt them down as their ultimate test of skill. This thesis focuses more so on the design of the primary character, Val, and the concept of gender neutrality as portrayed by video game culture. This paper will also showcase world building, character designs for the supporting cast, and examples of character models as examples. The hope is to use this as a framework for continued progress and as an example of how the video game industry can further include previously alienated communities.
