Looking for blue ocean look to the cloud rhys dekleMary Chan
"The trends in cloud based gaming are changing the way developers make games and the games developers make. This raises fresh opportunities for creativity in game and business design.
• Cloud gaming means much more than streaming which has come a long way but still faces well-known challenges to ubiquity.
• Developers today face a creative crisis just as big as their discovery crisis.
• The tools and middleware which rose to prominence in the last console generation are just beginning to embrace the cloud and that is changing the way that developers make and support games for the better.
• The cloud’s unique characteristics offer a fresh challenge to game developers to make new and better games. I’ll review some of the unexplored territory and discuss lessons learned and tips from the early explorers in cloud based game design.
