iPhone/iPad Game Development https://logicsimplified.com/newgames Fri, 10 Jan 2025 09:06:01 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.1.1 https://logicsimplified.com/newgames/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/favicon.ico iPhone/iPad Game Development https://logicsimplified.com/newgames 32 32 Apple vs Epic’s battle to affect UE iOS video game developers https://logicsimplified.com/newgames/apple-vs-epics-battle-to-affect-ue-ios-video-game-developers/ Tue, 01 Sep 2020 05:57:05 +0000 https://logicsimplified.com/newgames/?p=5957 ]]> Apple and Epic’s battle is making headlines all across the globe, but it’s Unreal Engine iPhone games developers who may face the brunt. It all started on August 13 when Epic Games released an update of Fortnite on the App Store and Google Play Store and introduced a direct payment option for V-Bucks that circumvented payments through Apple’s and Google’s app stores.  Both Apple and Google removed Fortnite from their respective app stores for the maker’s wilful violation of their in-app purchase policies. This led Epic to file an antitrust lawsuit against both the tech giants, to which Apple later retaliated by threatening Epic to cut off access to all its game development tools necessary to create software for Apple’s platform as of August 28. Now, as Unreal Engine, one of the most popular game engines, comes from Epic, Apple’s revocation of Epic’s access to developer privileges will be inflicted upon Unreal Engine too, and third party video game developers will also no longer be able to use Unreal Engine to build games for Apple platforms.

Epic has filed a motion for an injunction against Apple in the US District Court for California’s Northern District, alleging Apple of attacking Epic’s entire business in unrelated areas. A federal judge on August 24 gave a temporary restraining order and ruled that Apple can't terminate Epic’s access to Unreal Engine development tools on Apple platforms, but let the Fortnite ban stand. A short-lived restraining order addressed the most pressing concern of Epic as it meant that Epic will be able to keep growing Unreal Engine for iOS operating systems, but the game is not over yet and the threat still looms.

Apple and Epic's Battle: Unreal Engine Games for iOS in Jeopardy? 

If Epic ends up losing access to iOS development tools, Unreal Engine game developers will have no other choice than using another game engine to build games for Apple platforms. It’s also a big worry for developers that have already launched Unreal-powered games for iOS and MacOS because an update from Apple that renders older games unplayable can result in huge revenue losses. Apple has also taken some such recent decisions like to reduce compatibility for 32-bit apps on iOS and on MacOS.

What Unreal Engine Users Will Lose

I have prepared a list of programs, technologies, and capabilities that Unreal Engine users will lose access to if the court upheld Apple’s revocation of Epic's dev tools.

    • All Apple software, SDKs, APIs, and developer tools

    • Pre-release versions of iOS, iPad OS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS

    • Pre-release versions of beta tools such as Reality Composer, Create ML, Apple Configurator, etc.

    • Notarization service for macOS apps

    • App Store Connect platform and support which assist in account transition, password reset, app name issues. etc.

    • TestFlight.

    • Access to provisioning portal for certificate generation, and provisioning profile generation.

    • Ability to enable in-app Apple services, including Apple Pay, CloudKit, PassKit, Music Kit, HomeKit, Push Notifications, Siri Shortcuts, Sign in with Apple, kernel extensions, FairPlay Streaming.

    • Access to Apple-issued keys for connecting to services such as MusicKit, DeviceCheck, APNs, CloudKit, Wallet.

    • Access to Developer ID signing certificates and Kernel Extension signing certificates.

    • Developer Technical Support.

    • Participation in Universal App Quick Start Program, including the right to use the Developer Transition Kit (which must be returned to Apple).

    • Ability to improve hardware and software performance of Unreal Engine on Mac and iOS hardware and optimize Unreal Engine on the Mac for creative workflows, virtual sets and their CI/Build Systems.

  • Adoption and support of ARKit features and future VR features into Unreal Engine.

If Epic lost access to all the above development tools necessary to build game apps for Apple Platforms, Unity may get a big competitive edge. It’s highly likely that many Unreal developers will turn to Unity, which is currently the most used game engine for building cross-platform mobile games. Yes, Unreal Engine scores higher when it comes to creating heavy graphics games, but Unity is quickly inching closer to level the playing field for Unity game development companies. So, Apple’s  revocation of Epic's dev tools could mean more Unity game developers building games for Apple platforms.

Alternatives to Unreal Engine

There are other alternatives to Unreal Engine as well, such as Construct 2, GameMaker Studio,  CocoonJS, MonoGame, Amazon Lumberyard and more. Game app developers will have to see which game engine will suit their game requirements the best if Apple won and rendered Unreal Engine unusable to build iOS and MacOS games. Game engines play a big role in the mobile game development process and that’s why Apple’s battle with Epic has a lot do with the developers who use Unreal for creating iOS and MacOS games. We all hope things between Apple and Epic get back to normal as before, and Unreal Engine developers keep making games for Apple platforms in the future too.

All You want to know about Apple Arcade Extravaganza https://logicsimplified.com/newgames/all-you-want-to-know-about-apple-arcade-extravagnaza/ Fri, 15 Nov 2019 05:21:17 +0000 https://logicsimplified.com/newgames/?p=4608 ]]> Apple Arcade is a brand new gaming mania for all the Mac and iOS players who have so far been left out of the gaming fun with the likes of Xbox Game Pass, EA Access, and PlayStation. Apple Arcade was first announced in March with Apple promising that it will let video game fans to play 100+ new and exclusive games across the iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and Apple TV. Before we dive into what Apple Arcade is, it’s important to know what it isn’t.

What Apple Arcade isn’t?

Unlike Project xCloud or Google Stadia, which I will be covering next, Apple Arcade is not a game-streaming service. What it means, in a nutshell, is that once you have downloaded a game, you can play it without even a stable Internet connection. The only exceptions are a few game titles that you wish to play on the Apple TV.

What Apple Arcade is?

Now, coming back to what Apple Arcade is, it’s a video game subscription service that costs $4.99 a month to unravel and enjoy a wide range of exciting video games, including The Enchanted World, Where Cards Fall and Shinsekai: Into the Depths. The beauty of Apple Arcade is that it comes Ads free and without in-app purchases (IAPs). You don’t even have to pay a penny for the updates and content that Apple said the players will receive automatically.

Besides, players can share the subscription with up to five other people, so you can also let your family members and friends to have the gaming fun under just one subscription. For some of the games, you can also pair PlayStation 4 Dual or Xbox One S controller with your iPhone, iPad, Apple TV or Mac.

Exclusive to iPhone users

None of the Apple Arcade games will be available on Google Play Store, and the company is reportedly shelling out more than $500 million just to ensure the exclusivity of Apple Arcade games. However, after the expiration of time exclusivity period of a particular game, developers can bring it to consoles or PCs as well.

Apart from games like Sonic the Hedgehog, Beneath a Steel Sky and Where Cards Fall, Apple Arcade will also feature games from established game studious, including Bossa Studios, Cartoon Network, Annapurna Interactive, Finji, Giant Squid, and many more. The genre ranges from puzzlers to adventure, role-playing, frantic arcade games, 5-minute time-wasters to fantasy games.

Also read iOS game developed and published by our iPhone game development company in India.

Availability and Features

Apple Arcade is the first-of-its-kind game subscription service and is reported to be available in more than 150 countries to support on iOS, Mac, and Apple TV. Apple Arcade also comes with added parental controls for parents to decide what type of content is right for their children. You can set a screen exposure time as well after which the games downloaded from Arcade will not be accessible to children.

Although Apple Arcade doesn’t have the full library of games as of now, it’s worth trying with a one-month free trial. If you like the service you can start paying for the subscription after the free trial gets over or simply quit.

Looking Ahead

It would be too early to say if Apple Arcade will be a big success or an attempt in vain. But as we know how Apple can change the way iPhone game developers build game apps and users pay to use them, the latest move is highly likely to have a big impact on the video game industry. Primarily because of the long-running trends of Ads and IAPs that game app developers have relied on for years to rake in billions of dollars. Apple itself charged 30% of all IAPs.

Apple Arcade will certainly be praised by those who don’t like to watch ads while playing video games on their devices and pay for IAPs every now and then. A few months from now will clear the picture about how Apple Arcade will do going forward. Till then, you can try a free trial of Apple Arcade yourself to see if it’s any worth your time and money.

Leaderboards and Achievements on Social casino games https://logicsimplified.com/newgames/leaderboards-and-achievements-on-social-casino-games/ Fri, 05 Feb 2016 05:59:20 +0000 https://logicsimplified.com/games/?p=769 ]]> Online social casino games are very popular worldwide since fans have the option to enjoy playing their favorite card games even with players sitting miles away from them. There are many features of online social casino gaming sites that give players joy of playing card games. However, leaderboards and achievements have been neglected by a lot of social casino websites for long. The reason is the belief that a new player would soon realize that it's almost impossible to grab a place in top positions of the leaderboard and will feel demotivated. However, there are interesting ways to use leaderboards and achievements to increase player engagement in social casino games. Let's first talk about benefits of leaderboards and achievements in social casino games.

Advantages of a leaderboard and achievements in social casino games

  • Leaderboards and achievements play a big role in keeping the thrill and excitement alive among competent players. They play hard to ensure that their names appear high on the leaderboard. Also, they are the players who play on a regular basis on a social casino gaming site or an app, which is important in terms of monetizing your apps through in-app purchases.
  • Players like to invite their friends on social media sites to play, therefore, leaderboards can help them keep a track on performances of each other. Players like to beat their self-made scores, but they like beating scores of their friends more. Thus, leaderboards can bring them the real fun of giving challenges and striving hard to stay ahead in the rankings on leaderboards.
  • A leaderboard allows players to see net single wins in a day, week or month. Players can also see their rankings and know who are at the top of the leaderboard.
  • A player always feels proud when his/her high rank is visible to friends and loved ones through social media. Others also feel encouraged to join the clan after learning that a friend of their has managed to get a coveted rank in the leaderboard of a social casino game. Game app developers should deploy this social-media strategy to always keep players hungry for more wins.
  • DoubleDown Casino, Slotomania, Zynga Texas Hold Poker and Jackpot Party Casino are some of many examples of social casino video games that use leaderboards to ensure player engagement.


Ways to use leaderboards and achievements in social casino games

  • Developers need to figure out how leaderboards do not hurt user engagement and also encourage good players to keep on playing for higher rankings. The answer to this question holds significant importance to make your social casino gaming site or app an exciting venture for worldwide fans of social casino games.
  • You can begin by creating in-circle leaderboards and main leaderboards for all players. An in-circle leaderboard can be created for a group of friends who usually play among themselves. As only a few players will list on an in-circle leaderboard, a new player in the group will always have the chance to have his/her name appear high on the in-circle leaderboard through wins. With in-circle leaderboards, developers need not fear that a new player will feel demotivated, especially when the competition is fierce for rankings on the main leaderboard.
  • As far as the main leaderboard is concerned, developers can offer rewards to new players for their achievements in order to encourage them to keep playing and improve their rankings on the main leaderboard.
  • Leaderboards and achievements become important especially during tournaments or other important events. Social casino games players love to take on challenges, which means players need something to let them know about their ranking status. Ranking status increases player engagement by giving birth to an urge within players to make efforts to move up the leaderboard, which means spending more time on your site or app. On the other hand, recognition of achievements through rewards, like a set amount of virtual chips, gives players feel-good factor and make then return to your social casino site or app.

This blog is an attempt to shed light on the importance of leaderboards and achievements in social casino games. And, Logic Simplified is a game development company in India having expertise in creating compelling casino games that are entertaining and fun. I hope it has served the purpose it was intended for.

Mobile 3D Game Development and Mobile Gaming Experience https://logicsimplified.com/newgames/mobile-3d-game-development-and-mobile-gaming-experience/ Mon, 21 Sep 2015 10:03:36 +0000 https://logicsimplified.com/games/?p=696 ]]> Mobile Games Market:

The mobile games industry is set to Global revenue forecast $25 Billion (2014), a 43% increase in global revenue recorded from 2013 as per Newzoo (a video game research firm).

The growth prediction in North America is 51%, Western Europe by 47% and the biggest expected growth will be Asia and China with almost 86%, with prediction of $30.3 billion revenue worldwide overtaking consoles revenue of $24.05 billion in 2015 for Mobile Game App Development Industry. With the rise of Apple and Google platforms it is predicted global revenues will top $40.9 billion by 2017 and the top platforms reaping most of the revenue.

Mobile 3D Games: Experience and Development:

Mobile gamers are experiencing a new form of immersive, realistic and interactive 3D games. Three dimensional games have opened up niche gaming diaspora, from new to experienced hands, out there trying to challenge, win or beat opponents, challengers or the AI, all within the realm of 3D world and on the move. 3D offers us the 3rd dimension or depth to bring into our games and our eternal endeavor to make our gaming experience interactive, fun, realistic and enjoyable. Let us elaborate more on mobile 3D experience and game development.

3D gaming enables more realistic gaming experiences like:

  • Realism
  • Visuals
  • Movements
  • Controls
  • Animation
  • Sound

The best and most optimized approach to develop mobile 3D games is using appropriate 3D Mobile Game engines. The Core functions typically provided by Game Engines are:

  • 3D rendering graphics
  • Physics Engine (Collision detection/response)
  • Sound
  • Scripting
  • Animation
  • AI
  • Networking
  • Streaming
  • Memory Management
  • Threading
  • Localization Support
  • Scene Graph

Let us share few Mobile Game engines that we highly recommend while developing 3D games which offer great in-build features and functions and ability to deploy in multi device platforms.

  • Unity 3D: Unity 3D game development is the best engine which supports 2D features too. Unity supports languages like C#, UnityScript and has a vast library of plugins and extensions. It is the best used, to deploy and build game in multiplatform.
  • Cocos3D: This is a 3D extension of Cocos-2D which is primarily used to develop cross-platform games using Objective-C and Xcode. It offers supported plugins (SpriteBuilder) for Android platforms. It leverages on OpenGL ES framework and can easily import models form 3D editors like: Blender, 3Ds Max or Cheetah 3D.
  • Adobe AIR: With 3D games evolving, Adobe Flash Player introduced Stage 3D API. Stage 3D offers fully hardware-accelerator architecture to render 3D visuals for desktop, browsers, IOS and Android platforms. The API enables us to use the GPU hardware acceleration for performance gains in the games. In addition, Adobe offers specialized 3D frameworks like Away3D (using Action Script 3.0), Flare3D, Alternative 3D, Minko and Maximo for the comprehensive development tools.
  • HTML5/JavaScript: Mobile 3D games development using HTML5/Javascript is also on the rise with power of WebGL JS library which renders interactive 3D graphics with excellent FPS which is best suited for browsers (web and mobile). In addition, Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5, PhoneGap and Sencha are also excellent tools/libraries available. Three.js, as the best JS library (using WEB GL), which offers easy use, high performance , well maintained and most used framework in web/mobile browser domain.
  • Unreal Engine 4: The latest unreal engine introduced, supports iOS and Android platforms and gives an opportunity to rival UNITY. It offers in-build high-performance rendering of graphics in a high-end iOS and Android devices. It hosts large tools for game development, customization and extensions. The high license pricing model limits the use of Unreal engine development to high end and large AAA title games.

The most attractive and compelling reasons why game app developers are moving to Mobile platform is user-base and scale. With Smartphone penetration which is increasing at an astonishing rate (projected to 34.2% per capita by 2017) and devices rapidly increasing in power and technology only enables us to predict huge acceleration in game industry.
With the evolving game-engines, powerful and optimized Mobile gaming phones, we see better and improved graphic games being developed worldwide. 3D games have captured the essence of Console and PC games into compact hand-held devices with the whole new 3D gaming experience.

You can reach us to:

  • learn more about the mobile game development services
  • for best optimized approach and platform to build your own 3D Game for mobiles.

And be a part of the experience.

They croak, they hop, they have long tongues and they are lazy and slimy. These factors make frogs incapable of being portrayed as indomitable characters. Our iPhone game developers defied these odds while helping the client create the adventure-filled arcade shooting game Froganator. The gameplay the journey of a Frog across rapidly evolving environments; the frog has to adapt itself to these different settings. You are responsible for evolving your frog from a lazy fly eating amphibian to a fully equipped, alien fighting Froganator. The game is developed for the iOS platform and promises to act as the glue that binds the users to their iPhone or iPad screens.

Gameplay-Amphibians, aliens and the hunger conflict
Food is as essential in space as it is on earth. The objective of our game revolves around this philosophy as we aim to make our frog healthier by consuming insects of all sorts. This amazing game is set across earth and space. Our frog goes through mutations to become a Froganator, but his purpose of devouring insects remains the same. The more insects he gobbles, the healthier and bigger he becomes. Set across different settings you get to experience the serenity of a river, mutations through biological radiation and the continuation of your eating expedition through space. You collect diamond and gold coins throughout the game which help you upgrade your Froganator to adapt to changing environments. Just be careful not to gobble the Flashing bee as it will buzz down the health of your Frog.

Our iOS game development company created this game using the cocos2d framework and it used all the features of the Apple device adequately. The touch and slide feature are utilized to catch pray, avoid enemy weapons and collect coins and health. A wonderful UI and beautiful designing facilitated the creation of smooth backgrounds which undergo transitions as per the different levels. The backgrounds range from a simple river to a crimson colored toxic river before completely transforming into the star and asteroid filled space setting.

The vengeance that Karma serves to the voracious and deliberately mean manifests itself in varied forms. At times it shows up as natural disasters, at others in the form of dengue infested mosquito. Our perspicacious client wanted to depict this in the form of an engaging game.  Our iPhone game developers fueled his thought juggernaut by helping him create Angry Ball Street, an iOS game where you get to teach fraudulent and nefarious people a lesson. All of the world’s anger is suffused into one big ball, which is hell-bent on trampling over everything in its path. This ball is purposely placed in the most notorious streets, to discipline the most scheming and deceitful people.

The objective of the game is to obtain maximum points in the stipulated time by trampling the throng of wrong doers, their cars and properties. You get to control the angry ball, through the swipe and tilt features, and run over baffled corrupt crowd and their belongings. You qualify for the next level once you acquire a preset score. Each new level comes with its own setting of crushable objects and special effects. iTunes offers a free version of the game with one unlocked level. Further levels of the game can be unlocked on payment.

The Wrath of the Raging Ball

The karmic forces get together to show consequences as an aftermath to the conniving nature of individuals. You get to assist these forces, which are manifested in a ball by running over deceptive people and their properties. This game required many specific animations and special effects. Our developers utilized Detonator to depict blasts and Particle system to show balloons in 3D animation. The particle system was also used to give users the option of putting Advertisements.

The client reached out to us to avail impeccable iPhone game development services and didn’t regret the decision of choosing us for his game. The game was developed on the Unity 3D development kit and it was coded using Javascript and C# on an SQlite database. A stat pathfinder was used to trace paths of the people running to save themselves from the raging ball. An InApp purchase integration facilitates the purchase of the paid levels of the game. Our Graphic designer specifically created the menus using the GUI skin so as to ensure a lively interface. Our Game Design India Team strived towards creating vibrant and pulsating designs to make the application stand out.
