Build the Excitement around Concept.
Game Validation that goes beyond conventional Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Checking (QC). Let’s see how and why it is paramount for the video game industry. Unlike the software applications industry which generally takes time in putting the application in the market to project on the business predictability, Video Games industry has a very shroud market, and it is instant. When you launch any game, almost 80% of the games understand their fate within the duration of one week. Apart from smooth functioning of the game, gamers have their preferences, and if the game does not stand on those parameters, there is a big chance that the game may not be great in business regardless of its quality.
Giving top-priority for monetization and ROI at initial stages of game development life cycle does not help. On the contrary, focusing on the gamer’s expectations and likings to build the concept and engage the audience for monetization at later stage is essential.
Real Success…
Based on the vast unparalleled experience in video games on all platforms & genres, GameCloud brings REAL SUCCESS resulting into having a large number of followers and great monetization. Generally, in medium to large studios and publishing houses the processes are matured with huge budgets available for development of new titles. However, in the case of Indie teams and small development studios, enthusiasm and emotions of the game development teams prevail over practical and critical aspects around the game. Hence, they carry the significant risk of game failures.

Each phase of a game lifecycle has a significance and contribution in producing a successful game. Generally, game validation activities are handled by the studios or publishers. However, they are implicit in nature and heavily depend on the individuals and their judgements. Hence, they need 3rd party expertise in reviewing the right aspects in the right phases to ensure clean game production process, and its launch which is neutral and adds tremendous value to the success of the game.
