What alternative is there?

To allow developers the opportunity to improve their reach with their mobile-specific games, Pley is looking to aid them in transferring the game to a web-play version. This has the benefit of increasing playing time while removing the need for players to download and install the game on their phone, which takes up valuable phone memory space. Plus, there is no need for the game developer to learn web development to get their game onto the web. So it’s a win-win solution for both players and developers alike.

So are all mobile games available as web-based versions?

Accessibility of the game is essentially down to the developer and how and where they intended the game to be played. So don’t be surprised if some of your favourite mobile games aren’t available in another format, and vice versa.

What Should You Do?

Various online resources offer books, case studies and professional advice on different successful tactics which you can use when you’re planning out your team’s approach to each match. However, viewing the outcomes of each strategy will help you make the right choices. You can’t go wrong with playing ManagerZone which offers a 3D simulation of real matches. You’ll be coordinating your team’s moves by planning out your strategies before each match. Just like in real life, you’ll be controlling the finances of your team’s club, buying and selling players and aiming to rank up your team in the divisions. As a manager you’ll receive a standard ice-hockey team with players having different skills.

Their success depends on what you do to improve their capabilities. Two weekly matches are played in the leagues, but you can play any number of matches against your friends. To guarantee that your players accurately execute your instructions on ice, you should study and review each match separately and identify your team’s strengths and weak points. You’ll then know what improvements to make so that your team won’t risk losing the next match. ManagerZone allows you to create all types of marketing products for your team’s brand. You can also set up home-base resorts including hotels and shops.

It’s a multiplayer environment which gives you the opportunity to communicate with other managers and either learn from them or challenge them. When your team has reached a top position in the federation ranking you have a better chance of getting noticed. Vote for your federation’s national coach or apply for the position yourself. Just be sure you’re ready. If you want to become an outstanding ice-hockey manager and move your career forward to the major championships, download ManagerZone Ice-Hockey onto your desktop computer or laptop and start playing. You’re just a few clicks away from becoming invincible!

Learning the basics is, of course, a must. You should know all the different possible hands like, well, the back of your hand! Once you have mastered which hands are highest, it is then time to move forward and develop discipline and strategies in your game.

First though, we should break a few of those preconceptions. Contrary to popular belief, it is not a good idea to bluff all the time. Professional players only bluff on occasion and to do otherwise simply flags you as a newcomer. Being flagged as a newcomer is highly detrimental to your game, as the more experienced players will just use that to their advantage. Similarly, it is not advisable to play every hand just to stay in the game. Learn discipline and control; know when a starting hand is a poor one and fold. You will be able to stay in the game longer and this also gives you added time to observe other players and the table itself.

Focus is key, and to do this effectively you should not play in an emotional frame of mind. Do not play when angry, sad or drunk. This is particularly important if you are playing in a tournament as the games can go on for long periods of time. In conjunction with this, players should be mindful of their bankroll, only playing within their means.

Tournaments as a whole can be good learning grounds, simply because there are a lot of players. Observation of others is an excellent way to learn and will help player focus as well.

Real Engine 4

The first game development engine that we would like to discuss is Real Engine 4. This engine has been around for a while now and the number of resources that have been developed for it is astounding. Using this engine you would never have to do any of your own coding because all the elements that you could possibly ever want already exist! Another reason to choose this engine is that to use it in its entirety is completely free while you experiment and learn. The catch is that you pay a royalty when and if your game goes into production, but the fee is quite fair.

CryEngine

CryEngine is another one that deserves plenty of attention. The company is now on version V and has long been at the forefront of the industry. CryEngine is a tool that we have used ourselves and we can attest to the user-friendly interface. Like Real Engine, CryEngine also has more resources that have been created for it than you could ever want. Not only would you never have to code to get the perfect game going for yourself, but there are no royalties to pay, making this a perfect platform for you if you are expecting to make any considerable amount of money from a project.

Unity3D

Unity3D is probably one of our favourites as it makes game development possible for pretty much any type of device you can imagine. This is one engine that almost every developer in the industry would be familiar with on some level, and that is largely due to the fact that there is a fully functional free version that makes learning the ropes a little easier.

The Story

The first thing that you should do is write a story. Think for a moment that you are an author of whatever type of game you are trying to create, and to write your best-selling book you need to come up with great characters, a good setting, believable problems and solutions (i.e. the plot), and a theme and style that draws the reader in.Writers struggle with these questions almost constantly because getting readers involved with the story is the only way to get them to stick with the story. The same goes for games as well. We have all played games that were visually impressive but still ended up being incredibly boring because the story just wasn’t right. To avoid failure before you begin, therefore, it is imperative that you know what kind of game you are trying to create and what kind of story you are trying to tell.

The Levels

The next step is to break your story up into chapters which are solvable. These will be your levels later on, so it is a good idea to make them evenly spaced and progressively harder. Not impossible, mind you, but a little harder with each new tier.Once you have the story worked out as well as the progression that the players will take through your game, you are more than 70% done with the process. There are many game engines and other services available for free and some for a fee that takes care of all the actual coding for you, so all you are left with is a puzzle that needs to be put together.
