Digital Buddha Game Developers Role

Our goal is to find what resonates with your players. That is why we always begin each project by analyzing the main product of your business and tailoring promotion strategies for your specific needs.

In fact, there are three main factors that comprise effective advertising:

Identifying your target audience and making the game relevant to the chosen group of people;
Implementing creative and innovative solutions;
Step-by-step advertising strategy.

It's been years since we first introduced our advanced methods for quality video game development. All this time, our team has been dedicated to offering individualized solutions for a wide array of projects, including large-scale projects in Dubai/UAE. Collaborative work with Digital Buddha is a quality assurance that your virtual reality is original and playable.

Making Games Impactful

We believe that you're seeking to make an immersive game that translates your vision of the concept into an enthralling user experience. In this aspect, we rely on the very core of human nature that encourages us to be naturally drawn to attention-grabbing stimuli, including media and games.

If you're interested in enhancing player engagement, it's vital to select the appropriate pre-production art tools and technical skills. Thus, Digital Buddha brings together a team of skilled animator artists, game programmers, engineers, project managers, and other specialists who possess rich experience and expertise in the game industry.

By harnessing their collective talents, we aim to provide you with an actually stunning and memorable game that will almost make your clients addicted.

Stages one of Game Development

Before the game takes the form of a market-ready product, there's an elaborate process of development. Thus, the main phases of the game creation service encompass the following steps:

Game design. Brainstorming the idea and identifying the theme of the game;
Gameplay engineering. Transforming the ideas into a specific vision: player interactions, the goals, and the direction of the game's narrative;
Conceptualization. Crafting preliminary concept art and drawing up the game design document;
Mechanics description. Description of basic rules the world and characters must follow, defining core gameplay mechanics and elements: movement, combat, riddles, etc.;
Description of the internal economy of levels, progression, and currencies. This typically includes describing the ways the player gets experience points, how they earn and spend in-game currencies, how they move about levels, how they acquire items, and so on;

Stages two of Game Development

Description of the world and characters. Lore, world features (history, culture, geography), its inhabitants, character backstories, motives, personalities, and other important factors that play a role in building a cohesive picture of the game's world;
Concepts of the world and characters. Making concept art and more concrete details to make the setting and characters more plausible;
Sketching out the world and characters. Focusing on the visual representation of the story to complement the storyline: the overall style of the art, the design of the specific objects and characters, etc.;
Animation. Adding an array of motions for specific situations: mimics, movements, gestures, natural phenomena, and so on. It brings static images to life and enhances the player's experience in multiple ways;
Programming. Writing code, creating algorithms for objects and characters, and optimizing them ensures the integration of all elements into the game and putting them into action. But after visual and auditory information create a complete picture, there's still some work left. Before your game comes to life, a professional tester should also make sure that everything is in place and works as intended;
Placement in markets. Game launch strategy is an essential part of project management. The planning of distribution, advertising, research of effective promotion platforms, fostering public relations, and many more are all integral parts of this process.

Game concept, game mechanics, and software development (documentation)

Any game designer or developer knows that a game starts with an idea. In this regard, our experts handle choosing the theme, outlining and crafting the story, and key mechanics of the game. And all of these take into account your business preferences. Besides, we are also responsible for drawing up the game design document. It is a written introduction that encompasses a detailed description of all aspects of the game, from the game's features and technical specifications to distinctive character profiles and narratives.

Game's framework and design

If you would like to get assistance with game design, we offer these services at half the price! It includes the development of the narrative, visual and auditory elements, interaction with the player, level design, prototype testing, and so on. By focusing on this part of the process, you can make use of an exceptional opportunity to elevate the quality of your game design in a cost-effective way.

Conceptualization and Planning Process

When choosing the right theme for a game, our specialists consider numerous factors, such as the genre you work in, novelty, potential for sequels, emotional involvement, room for artistic endeavors, and enticing storytelling. Naturally, if it's not your first game, and you already have a dedicated audience, we make sure the theme is compatible with their preferences.

Beyond the conception, the planning stage involves the following phases:

Setting goals for the game development team; determining the direction of the game process and its certain aspects (visuals, narrative, designed player experience);
Research of the game market that allows you to incorporate common people's preferences in your game and to develop an in-depth understanding of the competitive environment;
Drawing up a work plan that includes an overall vision, timelines, concrete steps, and resources needed (budget, technical resources, etc.;
Distribution of team roles and responsibilities;
Risk assessment includes factors like the technical complexity of the project, issues with finding resources, negative external impact on your sales, and so on.

Design and Development Process
To create a coherent and holistic user experience, this phase requires close collaboration and effective communication among different specialists: developers, designers, plot writers, artists, and other specialists. The focus is on a combination of originality and impeccable technical execution.

While writers craft the plot, characters' stories, and personality traits, artists take on the visual side, and programmers code game mechanics. The process also entails adding sound effects and corresponding visuals to optimize the player experience and align it with the game vision.

There are four key components of the main game design stage:

Narrative: creating a convincing and fascinating storyline that keeps the player hooked. It consists of crafting character arcs, general world-building, and settings, and sketching out all plot lines;
Artistic work: visual depiction of characters, clothes, environment, and different locations. Artwork plays a crucial role in setting the right atmosphere for the game;
Character design: memorable individual traits, relating backstories, and distinguishing appearance are the most powerful factors that make the story meaningful for players, thereby keeping them engaged;
Layout of levels: designing diverse spaces within the game is essential to making the game exciting and fair. It encompasses challenges and rewards that differ for each complexity stage, objects the player can interact with, and the system of earning experience points and money.

Testing and Preparation for Launch
If you want your game to rank highly on Google, you need to thoroughly compute the system's performance: speed, graphics, sounds, stitching, and other technical issues. Thus, when the game is ready, our specialists conduct multiple tests to reveal and fix arising bugs and glitches to ensure the stability and operability of the gameplay.

Testing typically involves two steps: alpha testing and beta testing. The first is testing by small groups, while the second is checking the game's quality of performance by large groups of people. This way, our specialists ensure that the game is ready for consumers.

Last but not least is finalizing marketing strategies, preparing advertising materials and distribution tactics, as well as planning post-release support.

We prioritize a comprehensive testing process, rigorous bug checks, and thorough promotion planning to achieve a positive perception of your game!
