I have explained about procedures
and different pre-requisites for iPhone Game Development and iPad Game Development in my previous articles. What I want to cover in this article is
more information on how you can get your game developed for both platforms. More
information on what is the difference and what is similarity between the two
and what extra things you might need to look for before you give your idea for
development to convert them into reality. As part of Game and App Development Company
I will share this experience from our vast ranges of clients and hope you will
have enough information for getting your Game idea converted into real game.
iPhone Game Development and iPad
Game Development is done using the same SDK provided by Apple which uses same
platform and has most of the features in common other than some of them made especially
for iPad. It is important to decide when the time comes of implementation of an
idea for which platforms to be chosen or whether need to go for development in
both platforms. iPhone screen size is compact and only provide some details
about the world or background, so if you are going for RPG make sure you
include iPad also, as iPad can show more details and also vibrant animated
backgrounds can make much of the difference.
One of the other thing you need
to decide for your game before giving it for iPhone Game Development or iPad
Game Development is what kind of graphics you need to have, like 2D / 3D? This
is important for game developing company to know as they can visualize game in
more details considering the types of the graphics. It is also important for
you to describe your Game plot or story line in more details or write it down
point wise, so detailed analysis can be done on it and Game Development Company
can visualize the backgrounds and also characters and weapons. Most important
thing is game play and amount of information you want to show on one screen,
like life of characters, weapon they carry, enemy's life, special perks etc.
All this information combined can be used to get better idea and understanding
of the game and also graphics.
When you give your game for development
makes sure your developer company signs NDA with you, this is to keep your game
idea and whatever information you share with Developer Company confidential. I
hope this article will be helpful for you to get your idea to be converted into
actual game. Happy Gaming!!!
