Creating Sustainable Game
Engines for Reuse & Commerce
Your Game Engine Should Grow with You. Game
companies make two major forms of investments – to
develop creative and artistic game content and to
engineer game engines, and deploy game infrastructures.
While game content is increasingly exploited through
licensing for films, television, merchandise and other
games, the technical assets of games may often only be
used once.
Exploit your Investment in your Gaming Architecture.
Only in the past several years have a small number
of companies begun to exploit these expensive and
valuable assets.
IT GlobalSecure can help you make the most of your game
engines and online infrastructures:
 |
Game engines and infrastructures can become
commerce engines and infrastructures.
|
 |
Derive subscription and micro-payment income.
Mini-games, levels, and additional art assets
can be securely sold. In addition to supporting
content distribution and security (see our
DRM and
Distribution Services ), these systems can
become channels for additional revenue.
Modders (those who modify games) can be turned
into moneymakers and business partners.
|
Consolidation is happening now. The spiraling
cost of game development will drive towards a
consolidation of engines and online infrastructures.
Publishers will want to protect their existing
investments by integrating new games into existing
systems. If a small game becomes a surprise hit, it
should be “<**your-brand**>-enabled” to integrate it
with ongoing operations. Or, conversely, by tying games
together into a small number of “soft platforms”,
publishers will be able to increase the chances of
success and reduce the risks and costs for individual
games.
IT GlobalSecure on your team can help grow from small
into global deployments. The explosion of
information technology and the plummeting prices for
hardware have created a new hardware platform world. New
platforms that support games either as a central feature
or an additional revenue stream are being announced
regularly. The system and security engineering
challenges for these platforms are increasing as the
stakes in this multi-billion dollar, worldwide industry
grow. IT GlobalSecure brings years of hardware,
software, system, and security engineering to the
platform security challenge. . Our experience
developing, deploying, and operating large, distributed
systems. Security expertise and operational experience
are both key to success.
Predictable Pricing for Small to Large Jobs.
Whether it is simply an answer to an email, an
evaluation of a game design, or the development of a
custom security architecture, IT GlobalSecure will
provide the answer you need with reasonable, predictable
pricing. Contract structures vary from retainer, to firm
fixed price, to incremental progress-based contracts, to
time and materials (T&M).
