The Top 6 Browsers","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p>Are you into online games, but tired of glitches, popups, and latency issues? If you're looking for the best browser for your gaming needs, search no more.</p>\n\n<p>Read on to discover more about some of the best browsers for 2021 gaming. <strong>Focusing on safety, speed, and reliability, this guide is designed to help you find the best browser for your needs.</strong></p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"google-chrome\">Google Chrome</h2>\n\n<p>According to statistics, Chrome remains the most popular browser out there, with <a href=\"https://gs.statcounter.com/search-engine-market-share\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">over 90% of market shares</a>. </p>\n\n<p>However, just because it’s the most popular, doesn’t mean it’s the best browse for online gaming.</p>\n\n<p>One thing everyone knows is that Chrome is fast. There are many metrics for measuring the speed of a browser, but several platforms have noted that Google now auto-blocks any ads that violate Coalition for Better Ads guidelines. In practice, this means there are fewer things to load per page meaning faster page load times.</p>\n\n<p>The browser works well on mobiles too, meaning you’ve got great cross-platform compatibility. When you combine this with fewer pop-ups and fast loading times, <strong>Chrome is, arguably, the best browser for HTML5 type of games</strong>, both on <a href=\"/en/games/platform/pc-games/\">desktop</a> and <a href=\"/en/games/platform/mobile-games/\">mobile</a>.</p>\n\n<p>However, Chrome is a notorious <a href=\"/en/blog/ddr5-ram/\">RAM</a> hog, especially if you're using multiple tabs. <em>For this reason, it's recommended that you minimize the number of windows you have open when gaming.</em></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"safari\">Safari</h2>\n\n<p>When you consider Safari’s place in gaming, it's perhaps obvious to say that it's the best choice Mac users, as it’s been designed specifically for Apple devices. Don't let its nature as a default browser fool you, however, as Safari has also proved itself as an excellent choice for Facebook games no matter your OS.</p>\n\n<p>Because Safari 11 gives users the option to auto-block videos, it means you’re faced with fewer distractions and data drains. As Facebook continues to ramp up its video ads, it’s nice to have a browser that can shut them off. The only real downside is that, like most browsers, Flash is no longer supported.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"internet-explorer-11\">Internet Explorer 11</h2>\n\n<p>Some people love to criticize Internet Explorer because it’s not the fastest browser on the market, mainly because many people grew up with a sluggish search experience. While it still may not be the quickest, it is still one of the best browsers around.</p>\n\n<p>IE11 uses your Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) for all graphics and text rendering, and it’s capable of processing graphics-heavy pages more efficiently. This is great for strategy MMO players, who play <a href=\"/en/games/platform/browser-games/\">games on their browser</a> with a lot of units and action on-screen simultaneously.</p>\n\n<p>Additionally, with IE being the default browser for older versions of Windows, the latest software is compatible with the touch browsing capabilities of Windows 8, making it a great fit for mobile and tablet devices.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"The best browsers change the way we connect\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2018/week_19/speed.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"microsoft-edge\">Microsoft Edge</h2>\n\n<p>Although it’s still somewhat underused by gaming fans, <a href=\"https://news.microsoft.com/en-gb/2018/04/26/these-are-the-new-features-you-have-to-try-in-xboxs-next-update/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Edge links perfectly with Xbox Live</a>. By accessing the browser via the console, you can not only pick up where they left off in a game, but also mute any unnecessary sounds, read page content aloud, and upload files to their PC.</p>\n\n<p>Edge stands out as a great browser for console gamers, especially for users already integrated into Microsoft's Xbox ecosystem. Edge also uses <a href=\"https://www.tomsguide.com/news/chrome-firefox-edge-ram-comparison\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">less RAM than Chrome or Firefox</a>, which is a big plus for players on older systems.</p>\n\n<p>The big downside? Edge no longer supports Macromedia's Flash.

If you were a former Firefox user who was discouraged due to slow speeds, it might be worth re-investigating.</p>\n\n<p>Firefox also works well with virtual and augmented reality, and <a href=\"https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2018/04/03/mozilla-brings-firefox-augmented-virtual-reality/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">can now process VR and AR content more efficiently</a> after their 2018 update.</p>\n\n<p>It’s fair to say Firefox is one of the top browsers for PC games - as long as you don't want to play Flash games, of course.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Security is an important element for the best browsers\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2018/week_19/security.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"opera\">Opera</h2>\n\n<p>Despite being one of the lesser-user browsers, Opera easily punches above its weight. In fact, Opera can be considered one of the fastest browsers out there for those with slow systems.</p>\n\n<p>Opera has a turbo protocol that reroutes traffic, increasing processing speeds for users with low bandwidth. It also compresses data, so pages load faster, as well as auto-blocking unwanted adverts.</p>\n\n<p>Thanks to this trio of features, users can enjoy browser <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmo-games/\">MMO games</a> even if they don’t have a powerful desktop or connection. Furthermore, Opera, unlike the others on this page, still supports Flash - as well as also being a high-powered gaming browser by today's standards.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"The best browser depends on user needs\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2018/week_19/availability.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"choose-the-best-browser-for-your-gaming-needs\">Choose the Best Browser for Your Gaming Needs</h2>\n\n<p>The browser industry is so varied, with each company excelling in different areas, so the reality is that each product has its pros and cons.</p>\n\n<p>In terms of convenience, Google Chrome is the best for gaming, because it’s fast and easier to set up for HTML5 games.</p>\n\n<p>However, Firefox is a great alternative, and its VR and AR support makes it a serious contender, standing out as an early frontrunner in terms of supporting next-gen technology.</p>\n\n<p>If you're a fan of older, non-HTML5 titles, then Opera is essentially your only choice. The browser supports Flash and hosts an enormous classic game library.</p>\n\n<p>In conclusion, there are plenty of browsers to choose from, each suitable for a <em>variety </em>of different types of player.</p>\n<script type=\"application/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https://schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"BlogPosting\",\n  \"mainEntityOfPage\": {\n    \"@type\": \"WebPage\",\n    \"@id\": \"https://plarium.com/en/blog/best-browser/\"\n  },\n  \"headline\": \"What is the Best Browser for Gaming?

Gaming is such a large industry that it offers something for everyone.</p>\n\n<p>In turn, this means the types of gamers playing today are a lot different to what they were 20 years ago. To explain what we mean, here’s a look at the different types of gamers and their common attributes.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"1.-mmos-are-a-man’s-world-but-gaming-is-gender-neutral\">1. MMOs Are a Man’s World but Gaming is Gender Neutral</h2>\n\n<p>While most <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmo-games/\">MMO</a> players are male, there is still a significant number of female players who we can’t just ignore.</p>\n\n<p>Based on relatively recent information, only 60% of players are male. A few years prior to that, around 85% of them were males, so the number of females in MMOs is growing.</p>\n\n<p>This may be due to a general increase in women in gaming, not just affecting types of MMO gamers (such as women being casual gamers, hardcore gamers or <a href=\"/en/blog/gaymer/\">gaymers</a>).</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"women-gamers-on-the-rise\">Women Gamers on the Rise</h3>\n\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https://www.isfe.eu/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/ISFE-final-1.pdf\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">2020 IFSE European Video Games Industry report</a>, 45% of gamers in Europe were female. More significantly, 51% of all European <em><strong>mobile</strong></em> gamers are women.</p>\n\n<p>And, just to prove that gaming isn’t bad for the brain, women gamers are 3X more likely to study for a STEM (science, technology, engineering, or math) degree than non-gamers.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"2.-age-is-not-just-a-number:-different-ages-for-different-types-of-gamers\">2. Age is Not Just a Number: Different Ages for Different Types of Gamers</h2>\n\n<p>It doesn’t matter what types of MMO gamers you look at, they’re probably going to be 26 years old, or very close to that age.</p>\n\n<p>This dispels the myth that all gamers are teens. In fact, only about 25% of all MMO gamers can be considered teenagers between the ages of 12 and 17.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"a-surprising-average-age-for-gamers\">A Surprising Average Age for Gamers</h3>\n\n<p>More strikingly, the average age of gamers across the board (not just MMOs) is 33, according to the <a href=\"https://www.theesa.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/2019-Essential-Facts-About-the-Computer-and-Video-Game-Industry.pdf\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Entertainment Software Association</a>.</p>\n\n<p>What’s interesting to note here is that, on average, female players are older than their male counterparts.</p>\n\n<p>The ESA’s 2019 report shows that the average male gamer is 32. The average female gamer is 34. Moreover, 27% of all female MMO players are over the age of 35, compared to just 13% of males.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"3.-the-types-of-gamers-you-know-(probably)-aren’t-lonely-souls\">3. The Types of Gamers You Know (Probably) Aren’t Lonely Souls</h2>\n\n<p>The major misconception about the types of gamers out there is that they’re all single young men. In some ways, this is true.</p>\n\n<p>36% of MMO players, for example, are either married or engaged to be married. Moreover, that 36% does not include players who are currently in a relationship. It’s likely that at least 50% of gamers are in some type of relationship.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"gamers-are-the-opposite-of-the-lonely-type\">Gamers Are the Opposite of the Lonely Type</h3>\n\n<p>Another fact that supports the idea of gamers being sociable comes from a 2008 survey by IGN Entertainment and Ipsos Media CT.</p>\n\n<p>That study showed that gamers are <a href=\"https://www.marketingcharts.com/industries/media-and-entertainment-6560\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">twice as likely to go on dates</a> than non-gamers. So, when you look at the different types of gamers online, don’t be surprised if they’re more sociable than other people.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"4.-gamers-aren’t-lazy,-unemployed,-or-unmotivated\">4. Gamers Aren’t Lazy, Unemployed, or Unmotivated</h2>\n\n<p>Many serious MMO players hold down a job so they can keep playing competitively. Over 50% of players work a full-time job, and another 12% work part-time or are part-time students.</p>\n\n<p>22% are full time students, 3% are home-makers, 1% are retired, and only 11% are unemployed. There’s no significant difference between males and females when it comes to being employed or not.</p>\n\n<p>So, we can say that most types of MMO gamers are active, employed, and motivated.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"5.-the-types-of-gamers-you-know-are-dedicated-to-their-craft\">5. The Types of Gamers You Know Are Dedicated to their Craft</h2>\n\n<p>The average video gamer spends eight hours and 27 minutes playing games each week, according to research by <a href=\"https://www.limelight.com/lp/state-of-online-gaming-2021/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Limelight Networks</a>.</p>\n\n<p>A study of 4,000 people across eight countries found that, in 2020, gamers spent 14% more time gaming than they did in 2019.</p>\n\n<p>Delving further into the stats, 44% of those surveyed played more than seven hours a week, and 25% were locked in for more than 12 hours.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"mmo-gamers-are-a-hardcore-type-of-gamers\">MMO Gamers are a Hardcore Type of Gamers</h3>\n\n<p>If we delve even <em><strong>deeper</strong></em>, of all the gamers out there, MMO fans are the most hardcore. On average, MMO gamers spend 21 hours a week in their virtual worlds.</p>\n\n<p>For comparison, the average American spends 28 hours watching TV each week. So, while it might seem like gamers are glued to their screens for endless hours, it’s actually not as bad as people assume.</p>\n\n<p>In reality, different types of gamers spend differing amounts of time dedicated to their craft.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"there-are-many-different-types-of-gamers\">There Are Many Different Types of Gamers</h2>\n\n<p>After reviewing the facts, you can see that the random person on the street doesn’t really know what they are talking about.</p>\n\n<p><strong>The truth is there are no “typical” types of gamers</strong>. The gaming community is as diverse as they come and there are as many types of gamers as there are games.</p>\n\n<p>However, regardless of where a player comes from, we all have one thing in common: we <em>love </em>gaming.</p>\n","date":"3/2/2016"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"","href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/15/mmo-games.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"11139"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/graphics/"},"strings":{"title":"The Impact & Evolution of Video Game Graphics","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"420000","description":"<p>Many elements combine to create a memorable gaming experience, but few are quite as important as video game graphics. Sure, the general feel and gameplay of a title might be vital, but the overall look of the game is also very important.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>Of course, gaming graphics have been on a massive journey through the years, with some of the earliest titles using only the most basic design elements.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"the-evolution-of-video-game-graphics\">The Evolution of Video Game Graphics</h2>\n\n<p>Many experts regard Tennis for Two as <a href=\"/en/blog/the-first-video-game/\">the first-ever video game</a> to be created. Unveiled back in October 1958, it was showcased at the Brookhaven National Laboratory during an open house event.</p>\n\n<p>The tennis game was created on an oscilloscope and used extremely basic game graphics. However, it still captured the public’s attention very quickly. In fact, people waited in line to try out the fascinating game.</p>\n\n<p>Of course, video gaming went on to develop extensively in the years after Tennis for Two. Companies soon became household names thanks to titles that took off almost overnight, although that was once again fairly limited when it came to gaming graphics.</p>\n\n<p>However, the evolution of video game graphics has taken massive steps forward since then, and these days almost anything is possible.</p>\n\n<p>Developers can apply all kinds of aesthetics to titles, from 2D cartoonish imagery to much more high-quality, life-like styles. Everything from historical settings to <a href=\"/en/blog/football-video-games/\">sports stadiums</a> can be rendered perfectly.</p>\n\n<figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Gaming graphics have been improving dramatically over the last few years\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/graphics-2.webp\" /></p>\n\n<figcaption>Gaming graphics have been improving dramatically over the last few years</figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<h2 id=\"how-game-graphics-set-the-stage\">How Game Graphics Set the Stage</h2>\n\n<p>The evolution of video game graphics is fascinating to consider, but it is also interesting to note how gaming graphics can have an impact on player psychology.</p>\n\n<p>In cinema, filters and color scales are widely used to identify the tone and genre of a film – they give it an individual identity. In the gaming world, this very color scale is what sets the tone for the action to follow.</p>\n\n<p>Color and emotions are intertwined, and this is evident in the way that certain colors can change our response to a game.</p>\n\n<p>Consider for a moment the impact that certain color configurations have on our moods.</p>\n\n<p id=\"red:\"><strong>Red </strong>- Evokes a feeling of angst, dread, and tension – much the same as deep color variations of orange. The horror genre is peppered with these types of color scales. Monsters, goblins, demons, and all sorts of other abominations often take on an eerie and unnerving glow in deep oranges and reds.</p>\n\n<p id=\"yellow:\"><strong>Yellow </strong>- A particularly interesting color in the gaming world, as it often indicates foulness, infection, and sickness.</p>\n\n<p id=\"blue:\"><strong>Blue </strong>- Cloudy, murky, dusky blues are also unnerving. They instill a feeling of dread and foreboding and are often used in the video game graphics of thrillers. Your sphere of vision is limited when these shades are used, and the thought of the unknown lurking in the background is most unnerving.</p>\n\n<figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Consider for a moment the impact that certain color configurations have on our moods.\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/graphics-3.webp\" /></p>\n\n<figcaption>Consider for a moment the impact that certain color configurations have on our moods</figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<p>Throughout the evolution of video game graphics, our minds have associated certain gaming graphics and colors with the stereotypes we have listed above.</p>\n\n<p>This has allowed game developers and filmmakers to set the mood by using game graphics to maximum effect. Put simply, blending the right colors together can create the perfect setting.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"interface-importance-in-game-graphics\">Interface Importance in Game Graphics</h2>\n\n<p>Interface creation in modern times ranges from the highly complex to the comparatively simple. This is easily seen in the way in which games and gaming graphics are developed today.</p>\n\n<p>When you're playing <a href=\"/en/games/platform/mobile-games/\">mobile games</a> or social games, you will frequently interact with the user interface. If the UI fails to captivate your attention, it has failed in its primary purpose. Player retention is at the heart of all social and mobile games.</p>\n\n<p>The goal is always to use intricate detail when designing an immersive gaming interface. A careful balance has to be struck between pop-up windows and the continuity of flow.</p>\n\n<p>Game designers constantly juggle many elements to entertain, engage, and to keep players wanting more. Each of the in-game elements must serve a specific purpose to retain the loyalty of players, challenge them at every opportunity, and create a sense of community.</p>\n\n<p>The way that pop-up windows are showcased will allow game creators to emphasize the specific details necessary for players to proceed through the game. The specific video game graphics that are used for these pop-up windows also relay certain messages to players.</p>\n\n<figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Color variations in gaming graphics\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/graphics-4.webp\" /></p>\n\n<figcaption>Color variations in gaming graphics</figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<p>For example, sharp corners and the use of blades, swords, axes, and other weapons in video game graphics portray aggression. These types of symbols and designs are ideally suited to battle-ready warrior games.</p>\n\n<p>In contrast, rounded game graphics such as circular shapes, swirls, and twirls represent tranquillity, sophistication, elegance, and relaxation. These are best suited to fantasy-themed games where elves, gnomes, princes, and princesses roam through a fairy-tale kingdom.</p>\n\n<p>Certain player expectations are inherent in typical video game graphics. For example, red signifies no, and green signifies yes.</p>\n\n<p>Other in-game possibilities can also be represented by the pair, such as defeat or victory and rejection or acceptance.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"backgrounds,-characters,-and-text\">Backgrounds, Characters, and Text</h2>\n\n<p>Setting the scene is a vital component of the game, as it determines whether or not the player is absorbed into the gaming world. Of course, video game graphics play a key role in this issue.</p>\n\n<p>By designing the background with attention to detail, players are drawn into the world of the characters they interact with in the game. The use of quality gaming graphics in background design boosts the level of realism and makes it that much more engaging to players.</p>\n\n<p>The evolution of video game graphics also means that they can now be used to create animated backgrounds, which give the impression of ongoing activity in an environment.</p>\n\n<figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Designing the game background with attention to detail is a major element of game graphics\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/graphics-6.webp\" /></p>\n\n<figcaption>Designing the game background with attention to detail is a major element of game graphics</figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<p>In addition, using impressive game graphics to create a character's appearance may be the best possible way to arouse certain emotions in a player.</p>\n\n<p>A character who displays fear, dread, or tension will instil certain emotions within players to make them want to help and assuage that character's feelings. The player projects an image of himself/herself onto the antagonist or protagonist in the game.</p>\n\n<p>Finally, the importance of text cannot be understated. Text helps to explain in-game assets such as defenses and weapons. Developers need to undertake rigorous testing to ensure that there is synergy between what the character is wearing and using and functionality issues.</p>\n\n<p>It should also gel with the overarching ideas and game graphics featured in the title.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"the-power-of-video-game-graphics\">The Power of Video Game Graphics</h2>\n\n<p>Gaming is all about interaction, immersion, and emotional connection. Developers use many elements to make this happen, but video game graphics are particularly crucial. Top-tier gaming graphics can create the ideal setting, background, location, and game milieu.</p>\n\n<figure>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Intricate details in gaming graphics\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/graphics-5.webp\" /></p>\n\n<figcaption>Intricate details in gaming graphics</figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<h3 id=\"just-how-much-do-graphics-matter-in-video-games?\">Just How Much Do Graphics Matter in Video Games?</h3>\n\n<p>Early gaming hits like Pong achieved massive success with limited graphics. However, <em>these days</em>, gaming graphics play an important role in creating the look and feel of titles. They can generate an atmosphere and a level of immersion that was previously simply not possible.</p>\n\n<p>The evolution of video game graphics has been fascinating to watch through the years and it will be intriguing to see how things continue to develop in the future. Pixel processing techniques that can further improve photorealism, more gate density, and mixed reality are just a few of the exciting, potential innovations that industry experts predict will be available by 2030. </p>\n","date":"2/9/2016"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"Graphics are only increasingly more important in gaming","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/graphics-1.webp"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"11040"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/game-setting/"},"strings":{"title":"Learn How To Create A Fantastic Game Setting","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"540000","description":"<p>The overwhelming majority of information we process is done visually. In fact, experts put that figure as high as 90%.

If something doesn't captivate our attention from the get-go, chances are we’ll quickly lose interest. The gaming industry also faces tough challenges as it attempts to enthrall players and retain them as loyal patrons. Consider for a moment that the biggest names in the gaming world struggle with this every single day – then imagine how hard it is for small gaming companies trying to make a name for themselves.</p>\n\n<p>We will demonstrate how a balanced setting can greatly assist when it comes to player retention, interaction and enjoyment in the <a href=\"/en/games/\">game</a>. We’ll start by taking you back to where it all begins – a white canvas!</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"understanding-a-game's-setting\">Understanding a Game's Setting</h2>\n\n<p>Simply put, the setting is the environment where the action takes place in a game. There are all sorts of settings out there, and you're probably familiar with many of them. These include art deco, post-apocalyptic, sci-fi, fantasy, battlefield, etc. You can gather a lot of information about the game from its setting.</p>\n\n<p>Let’s consider several games and the settings they use to create the right atmosphere: Mass Effect and Star Trek are sci-fi games of note; Neverwinter Nights is a fantasy-laden game, and Fallout takes place in a post-apocalyptic world. That having been said, it's not always cut and dry with different games.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"games'-settings-are-not-necessarily-either-one-or-the-other\">Games' Settings are not Necessarily Either One or the Other</h3>\n\n<p>Sometimes there is so much going on in the game that the setting needs to use multiple elements to create the ideal environment. Consider the differences between dieselpunk and steampunk – both stem from the early 19th century and they both refer to the era when steam engines reigned supreme.</p>\n\n<p>However dieselpunk is more modern and it extols the virtues of the progress being made with diesel technology. Dieselpunk as a genre was heavily influenced by the period between World War II and the mid-1950s, with plenty of emphasis on future-oriented technology.</p>\n\n<p>Gaming developers utilize setting to maximum effect. It's about so much more than the time and place where the action unfolds; a good setting involves myriad factors that create the laws of the fictional world where the game characters interact with players.</p>\n\n<p>The goal is to create the ultimate gaming universe – a place where players are engaged and rewarded with stellar gameplay.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"understanding-the-flow\">Understanding the Flow</h2>\n\n<p>Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, the world-famous psychology professor of Claremont Graduate University, was perhaps the first notable authority to define flow. In fact, he was so enamored by the concept of flow that he called it the secret to happiness. To him, flow is about ongoing satisfaction in activities – a state of immersion and heightened focus in all facets of life.</p>\n\n<p>In the gaming universe, this is achieved when all your skills are applied to solve challenges. There are multiple components to the state of flow, of which the setting is certainly one of the most important. The goal at all times is to bring players into the gaming arena and blur the lines between the gaming world and the real world. This results in immersion, integration and oneness with the gaming universe. Real-world constraints such as time, space and gravity melt away.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"how-choice-weighs-in-on-game-seetings\">How Choice Weighs In On Game Seetings</h2>\n\n<p>When gaming developers don't pay sufficient attention to things like target marketing, engaging plot lines or the game’s setting, problems arise. This leads to many mistakes, including the following:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>By working backwards, a developer establishes the setting first and then adjusts the mechanics to mesh with that setting. The developer then decides which types of players would be interested in this particular product.</li>\n\t<li>Some developers believe that the mechanics of the game are all important. They forego things like setting – to their detriment.</li>\n\t<li>The developer may create a game without paying any attention to the target audience.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>The problem with the first example is that there is a mismatch between reality and the images created. As a case in point, Demolition Lander featured a massive scope and a space setting, but the graphics were too underdeveloped and the mechanics failed to do justice to such a large-scale universe. As a result, this Kickstarter game didn’t hit its targets.</p>\n\n<p>Settings that are haphazardly applied to really interesting games can also ruin the experience for players. Mirror’s Edge features incredible graphics and animation and top-notch mechanics. The poor quality game world and an uninspiring script don't do justice to this game. As a result of negative feedback by critics and players alike, the flow of the game was severely hampered. This was evident during the story campaign where players found it difficult to immerse themselves in the futuristic city.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"timing-is-everything\">Timing is everything</h2>\n\n<p>At the beginning of a game's development, the setting must be chosen. During the game planning stage, things like the payment system, gaming platform, in-game mechanics and other aspects must be factored into the equation. Together, these aspects will determine which type of players will be attracted to the game.</p>\n\n<p>Extensive market research needs to be conducted in advance so that the game is well received by its audience. Of course, if it were possible, the best thing to do would be to take a control group of players and see precisely what would satisfy their gaming preferences, and then build a game around that.</p>\n\n<p>With the direction established, setting takes center stage. At this point, it's necessary to conduct extensive market research – trends, market analysis, target audience needs etc. Based on the outcomes of the research, implementing a plan of action regarding setting, mechanics and other aspects of upcoming games, should start.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"the-importance-of-text\">The Importance of Text</h2>\n\n<p>Some games do a fantastic job of telling a story without displaying any text. However, in spite of the advancements in graphics technology, text is still incredibly useful for gaming purposes. MUD gaming developers used text to bring players into a state of continual engagement, excitement and contentment – flow. As a result, most of the player base was generated through player referrals.</p>\n\n<p>Other games that use text to great effect include Sword & Sorcery and Fallout. Without any real hardware required to run those games, players could use their own creative flair to imagine the most fantastic game settings in the universe.</p>\n\n<p>Social gaming is all about immersion. The ideal setting needs to be created, with a careful balance between text and visuals, to reel in players and keep them entertained at all times. The combined effect of text and visuals must grab the player’s attention from the moment they register, and keep them coming back for more, day after day.</p>\n\n<p>Game lore is an integral component of all good <a href=\"/en/games/genre/strategy-games/\">strategy-based games</a>. The lore includes elements such as economics, social order, mythology, religious components, and other idiosyncrasies that are innate components of the game setting. By creating a rich culture within a game, greater consistency and focus can be achieved. This makes it possible to update the game accordingly.</p>\n\n<figure>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Game Lore is an integral part of a good game setting\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/game-setting-3.webp\" title=\"Plariums Rich Game Lore\" /></p>\n\n<figcaption>Game Lore is an integral part of a good game setting</figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<p>The type of text that is added in to a game is not meant for window dressing purposes only. It is meant to add thematic value to the game.</p>\n\n<p>Several different types of text occur in a game, ranging from standard literary texts to technical texts. The latter refers to things like updates on interface elements, news and in-game manuals. In a pirate game, for example, you would be better served with ‘Argh! Step aboard me ol’ galley and rain fire on …’ than the simple ‘Welcome aboard!’. The diction used must suit the theme and flavor of the game to create the ultimate immersive experience.</p>\n\n<p>This goes to the very core of setting the scene, blurring the lines between fact and fantasy effectively and creating an unforgettable experience. No stone should be left unturned when it comes to the setting. This applies to technical support, e-mails, forum posts and social networks, too.</p>\n\n<p>Players expect all aspects of the game to be true to the game’s very essence. One slip-up is all it takes to shatter expectations and jerk a player out of the state of flow, and that's why game developers eat and sleep the games they create.</p>\n\n<p>These types of texts keep things lively by engaging players on multiple fronts. The idea is to create a setting that transcends the boundaries of the game and appeals to players in other aspects of their daily lives. It all comes back to the concept of flow – the sum total of all the components of the game must create a more meaningful, rewarding and immersive experience for the players.</p>\n\n<p>Take a look at this letter, written by an enigmatic lady named Voronika to fans of Pathogenic. This was launched on the eve of their campaign on Kickstarter.</p>\n\n<figure>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Voronika's Email to fans of Pathogenic\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/game-setting-4.webp\" /></p>\n\n<figcaption>Voronika's Email to fans of Pathogenic</figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<p>It is not uncommon for game developers to go the whole 9 yards when creating a game universe. Some developers go so far as to create fictional corporations from their game universe, open up offices on their behalf or even establish multiple websites as part of their advertising campaign.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"persuaded-to-play\">Persuaded to Play</h2>\n\n<p>As you can see, the setting of a game is crucial to the game’s authenticity and integrity. This is an all-encompassing undertaking that covers everything from text to video, the user interface, graphics, and music and lyrics. The idea is to take all these individual components and assemble them to create a whole that is much greater than the sum of its parts.</p>\n\n<p>Stay Tuned for more!</p>\n","date":"12/20/2015"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"Game settings can make or break a game!","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/game-setting-1.webp"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"10872"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/making-of-warrior/"},"strings":{"title":"How to Create a Fantasy Warrior: Five Steps to Building a Virtual Hero","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p>To create the perfect fantasy warrior, you have to know what one is. To build a character that not only has an imposing onscreen presence but upholds the virtues of the world in which it exists, you need to know the basics. Regardless, the notion of a fantasy warrior boils down to one main skilling: fighting.</p>\n\n<p>Although true warriors are so much more than fighters, there’s no escaping the fact this is their core skill.</p>\n\n<p>Indeed, you only have to look at fantasy warrior games such as Dungeons & Dragons to know this. In some games, warriors are referred to as fighters. In others, this <a href=\"/en/blog/mythological-rpg-fantasy-game-characters/\">character</a> class consists of knights or bruisers.</p>\n\n<p>Therefore, when you’re looking to create a fantasy warrior or a fantasy warrior <a href=\"/en/games/\">game</a>, this fundamental quality must be kept in mind at all times. If the character is not a fighter at heart, then, despite any other qualities they might have, they’re not a warrior.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<h2>The Attributes of a Fantasy Warrior</h2>\n\n<p>This leads to the question of what general skills should a warrior have? What makes them a fighter? These are open-ended questions with many possible answers. However, if you’re starting from scratch, you’ll want to give them the following attributes:</p>\n\n<p><strong>Strength </strong>– A weak warrior is not going to be effective. This doesn’t mean the character has to be so physically imposing that it’s absurd. However, they need to have a robust frame that’s built for battle.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Inner Strength</strong> – Physicality is just one part of the strength equation. Warriors must have a strong spirit. A strong self-belief and an ability to step into situations that others wouldn’t.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Health</strong> – The ideal fantasy warrior has more health than the average character. In other words, they’re able to take more knocks and survive harsher conditions.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Weapons</strong> – Every fighter needs an arsenal of weapons. The type of weapons they have will depend on the fantasy warrior game in question. For example, they wouldn’t have a gun in a medieval setting.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Skills </strong>– The best fantasy warriors aren’t lumbering brutes that swing swords aimlessly. A successful fighter is one that thinks tactically and has proficiency over the weapons they carry. Therefore, when you’re creating a fantasy warrior game, the fighters must have the ability to acquire and refine their skills.</p>\n\n<h2>Fantasy Warrior Art Design: Getting the Right Look</h2>\n\n<p>Once you’ve gifted a character with skills that align with the warrior code, you need to manifest them in reality. Specifically, you need to make your character look the part. The video below shows how concept artist Valentin Demchenko builds a fantasy warrior. From an initial outline, he adds layers of detail until he gets a finished character.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/O9U0eKDMsKM\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>What you can see from the video above is that all the above qualities are immediately apparent. The character is big and bold. They’re wearing a helmet which signals they have an arsenal of weapons. They have an imposing frame that suggests they’re robust and can survive a battle.</p>\n\n<p>You’ll also notice that the chest is puffed out, signaling certain inner confidence. Even from an outside perspective, you can tell that this is a warrior. Even if you didn’t know what qualities the average gaming warrior has, you’d know that this character was a fighter.</p>\n\n<p>It’s also important to consider the finer details of this character. As much as you want to create a strong look, you also need to ensure the character is believable. “Believable” in this sense means that they look part of the game and not necessarily lifelike.  </p>\n\n<h3>Creating a Believable Character</h3>\n\n<p>Going back to Demchenko’s character, you can see how each layer homes in on smaller and smaller details. By the eight-minute mark, he’s adding chainmail, fur lining, and buttons to the jacket. Without these intricate touches, the character won’t feel authentic, and, from a general perspective, which would spoil the game.</p>\n\n<p>As much as you want a fantasy warrior to be imposing, you want this to happen in a believable way.</p>\n\n<h2>Don’t Discount Fantasy Warrior Women</h2>\n\n<p>The final consideration that many people often overlook is the role of females in warrior-based games. Although there are many instances where the characters are either animal hybrids or some kind of genderless humanlike monster, there is a misconception that warriors are always men.</p>\n\n<p>That’s simply not true. Although fantasy warrior females may not look as physically imposing as their male counterparts, that doesn’t mean they’re any less effective.</p>\n\n<p>In technical terms, a fantasy warrior woman is known as a virago. This word comes from the Latin virago and means vigorous or man-like. In this regard, this is a certain connection to men but, crucially, this is a historical hangover.</p>\n\n<h2>Women Can Be Viragos</h2>\n\n<p>For example, famous viragos such as Joan of Arc were almost forced to dress and act in a masculine way in order to fit with the times. However, the world has changed since the 15th century.</p>\n\n<p>Today, women can stand front and center in the own right and not play to male stereotypes. Therefore, when it comes to fantasy warrior art design and philosophy, this needs to be taken into consideration.</p>\n\n<p>Firstly, women can be warriors. Secondly, they don’t have to look like men. They may wear similar garments and use the same weapons. However, there’s nothing in the rulebook that says they need to have male characteristics. From this, it’s possible to say that the warrior code is genderless. It’s a set of qualities that we associate with <em>strength, valor, </em>and <em>honor</em>.</p>\n\n<p>The fantasy warrior ideal doesn’t need a gender, it simply needs to exemplify the image of a fighter. The image of someone who sits outside of the norm and will be the first one into battle. That’s how you create a fantasy warrior!</p>\n","date":"12/2/2015"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2014/07/the-hottest-trends-in-social-gaming.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"10800"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/difference-between-mmo-and-mmorpgs/"},"strings":{"title":"What Is an MMO, What Is an MMORPG and the Difference Between Them","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p>What is the difference between <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmo-games/\">MMO Games</a> and <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmorpg-games/\">MMORPG Games</a>?</p>\n\n<p>Are they the same thing? How do I tell them apart? Which one am I playing right now, and what does it have to do with Rocket-Propelled Grenades?</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>You have probably asked yourself at least some of these questions at one point or another. Otherwise, you won’t be here.</p>\n\n<p>Surprisingly enough, the answers to all these questions are quite simple:</p>\n\n<p>An MMORPG is a type of MMO.</p>\n\n<p>But to really understand this answer, you first need to know <a href=\"/en/blog/what-is-an-mmo/\">what exactly are MMOs</a>.</p>\n\n<h2>What Are MMOs & MMORPGs?</h2>\n\n<p>Let’s start with the basics: what does an MMO mean? <strong>An MMO is a “Massively Multiplayer Online” game</strong>.</p>\n\n<p>To put it in simpler terms, an MMO is a game which a large number of people can play simultaneously. You don’t play with or against just a handful of players, but thousands, sometimes even millions of them at the same time.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"What is the difference between MMO and MMORPG?\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2018/week_4/mmo-mmorpg-1.jpg\" title=\"What is MMO?\" /></p>\n\n<p><strong>MMORPG means “Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game.”</strong></p>\n\n<p>Another somewhat comical definition is “Many Men Online Role-Playing as Girls” (it’s funny because it's true).</p>\n\n<p>Some might say that all MMORPGs are easily recognizable by their fantasy settings, but that's not at all the case. Though the majority of RPGs do take place in the realm of elves, orcs, and dragons, a lot of them choose different worlds to explore, like far-away planets or post-apocalyptic wastelands.</p>\n\n<p>The keen observers among you may have noticed the two types of games have very similar definitions, but not quite the same. That leads us to the key difference between MMO and MMORPG.</p>\n\n<h2>What Is the Difference between MMO and MMORPG?</h2>\n\n<p>When someone asks what a game is, they often refer to its genre or subgenre. A game “is” a first-person shooter, a survival game or a role-playing game. It’s the same thing with MMOs.</p>\n\n<p>No game is just an MMO. It’s like saying a game is a “multiplayer game.” That’s well and good, but it doesn’t really tell you anything about the game itself, apart from the fact you can play it with (or against) other people. The game has to belong to a specific genre.</p>\n\n<p>Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games, or MMORPGs, are MMOs that belong to the RPG genre.</p>\n\n<p>They are role-playing games that can be played online by a large number of players simultaneously.</p>\n\n<p><strong>The difference between MMO and MMORPG is that all MMORPGs are MMOs, but not all MMOs are MMORPGs.</strong></p>\n\n<p><a href=\"/en/blog/what-is-an-mmorpg/\">MMORPG is by definition an RPG</a>, while an MMO can be anything from a <a href=\"/en/blog/battle-royale/\">Battle Royale</a> action title, a real-time <a href=\"/en/games/genre/strategy-games/\">strategy game</a>, or even a new type of interactive experience that defies genres.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MMORPG is a type of MMO game\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2018/week_4/mmo-mmorpg-2.jpg\" title=\"MMORPG is a type of MMO game\" /></p>\n\n<p>It’s a subtle distinction, but an important one. It can be a bit embarrassing talking to a fellow gamer about the new MMORPG you’re playing, only for them to realize you’re actually playing a hardcore Multiplayer Strategy title with a deep base-customization system and no <a href=\"/en/mmo-games/rpg-elements/\">RPG elements</a> whatsoever.</p>\n\n<p>It might sound a little trivial, but gamers can be pretty sensitive to these kinds of mistakes.</p>\n\n<h2>How to Recognize an MMORPG</h2>\n\n<p>Breaking down the MMORPG genre to its core components - the MMO and the RPG. We’ve already covered what an MMO is, so let’s talk about what makes an RPG.</p>\n\n<p>RPG video games borrow a lot from their pen-and-paper ancestors. For example, they have the same level of character customization. Players can create and customize their characters, represented by a digital avatar.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"505\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/vcvK1oUszsA\" width=\"853\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>They can control pretty much anything, from their appearance, race, and sex to their profession and skills. As the game progresses, players have a chance to improve and evolve their adventurer, making them more and more unique and powerful.</p>\n\n<p>Most modern RPGs give the player not only control over their character, but over the world they inhabit. Players’ actions have a direct impact on how the story progresses, and how the world changes around them. It can simply happen by advancing the plot and seeing the story unfolds, but it can also be because of player choice.</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"/en/games/genre/rpg-games/\">The best RPGs</a> allow players to tackle problems and advance the plot in multiple ways, so each playstyle is respected.</p>\n\n<p>An elementary example would be getting past a guard that is guarding a door. The player can choose whether to distract the guard using magic, lie and pretend to be someone famous, or draw a sword and attack.</p>\n\n<p>There should be a different consequence to each of these choices - maybe you’ll get to meet the guard you deceived later on in the game - now out of work and begging on the street.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https://plarium.com/en/mobile-games/raid-shadow-legends/\"><img alt=\"Not all MMOs are MMORPGs\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/raid/backgrounds/section-2.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>Then you have all the technical stuff: quests, experience points, loot, skill, and combat. Each of these is tied directly to the core mechanics of character customization, player agency, and a rich narrative.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Take all of this, and put in an environment where dozens if not hundreds of players interact at the same time, and you got yourself an MMORPG.</strong></p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"After a while, differentiating between MMOs and MMORPGs becomes easy\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2018/week_4/mmo-mmorpg-3.jpg\" title=\"The key word in RPG and MMORPG games is agency\" /></p>\n\n<p>Hopefully, by now you know how to tell the difference between an MMO and an MMORPG.</p>\n\n<p>One important thing to remember - most MMORPGs don’t usually involve Rocket-Propelled Grenades. Unless, of course, you’re playing in a futuristic dystopia where magic has been replaced with high explosives, which are more or less the same thing, only way cooler.</p>\n","date":"1/10/2018"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2018/week_4/mmo-mmorpg-header.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"10758"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/jesper-kyd/"},"strings":{"title":"Jesper Kyd: Music Transcends All Platforms ","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"240000","description":"<p>Jesper Kyd is a critically acclaimed composer, whose love and fascination with music started when he was just a kid. He began playing the piano and the classic guitar, slowly sparking his passion for harmonies and melodies.</p>\n\n<p>His interest in music continued to grow, as he did. He got his first computer (a Commodore 64) at the age of 13, and started composing electronic music. By the age of 15, he owned his own keyboard, a Roland D-20 and continued composing music with all of his accoutrements.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"it's-all-about-the-feeling\">It's All About the Feeling</h2>\n\n<p>Jesper Kyd has many bands that he admires. Some of the most notable influences on his own composition styles include classical composers such as Ottorino Respighi and Igor Stravinsky. Other bands like Röyksopp and The Knife played a big part in helping him to create his own melodies.</p>\n\n<p>For Jesper, it's all about the feeling, and he admits to being drawn to the emotion of the music. The essentials of music are what make it so thoroughly enjoyable for him to work with. He finds inspiration in all of his projects – whatever they may be.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"jesper-kyd-and-gaming\">Jesper Kyd and Gaming</h2>\n\n<p>Kyd is particularly fond of the online gaming world – MMORTS games, television, film and the like. The inspiration that he derives from these types of projects is second to none. For him, music is all about being able to inspire ideas and creativity.</p>\n\n<p>He is of the opinion that music serves the same purpose in every game – regardless of genre or even the platform. For Jesper, music sets the mood and heightens the experience, by adding atmosphere and an immersive experience. Jesper knows from personal experience that players are more inclined to play the game for much longer when the music flirts with their emotions.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"an-immersive-experience\">An Immersive Experience</h3>\n\n<p>Kyd uses the classic example of playing a game with captivating music, and wanting to stay in the gaming world that much longer. It may well be that extra time that allows you to conjure up something new or to find what you’ve been looking for, while you’re immersed in playing and enjoying the game.</p>\n\n<p>This entire process is the same regardless of the game you're playing. Jesper Kyd typically works with the audio director, creative director or even the game director. Together they discuss precisely what the music needs to be doing, in conjunction with the overall game story and all the characters. Sometimes, Jesper is directly involved in the action and he decides how the music will be applied in the game. At other times, much of the musical score would have been sorted out already <em>before </em>he's even brought in to put it all together.</p>\n\n<p>In any event, Jesper Kyd loves being involved. And it's a pretty time-consuming process – anywhere from 3 months to 9 months to compile, all depending on how early he’s brought into the process. The volume of music that is required is also a big factor in determining how long it takes to put it all together. Jesper admits that it's not uncommon for him to write 3 hours of music for one project.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"always-striving-for-better\">Always Striving for Better</h2>\n\n<p>For Jesper Kyd, there is no real crowning achievement. Every project that he undertakes is in itself an opportunity to derive more knowledge. It also allows him to understand new ways of thinking, and pushing his musical prowess to the next level. He believes there is always room for improvement and by listening to his music, his creative juices develop and evolve further.</p>\n\n<p><cite>“I have grown in other areas of music-making and I feel that I can go back to that style and add something new.”</cite></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"jesper-kyd-and-assassin's-creed\">Jesper Kyd and Assassin's Creed</h2>\n\n<p>Despite Jesper's reluctance to call it a crowning achievement, his musical score on the first 4 Assassin’s Creed games were a remarkable achievement. He is delighted to know that the gaming community relishes the Ezio’s Family musical score and connect deeply with it. His music transcends the gaming world, and actually creates a bridge between the players and their in-game characters.</p>\n\n<p>Of the sound in Assassin’s Creed, he had this to say: <cite>“It seems there are now are really high expectations about the music in the Assassin’s Creed series… I feel good about having planted that seed.”</cite></p>\n\n<p>Jesper Kyd is not content to simply stagnate in any particular genre, leading him to eventually move to <em>social games</em>.</p>\n\n<p>No doubt Jesper will be working feverishly on all sorts of projects in the future. He maintains that it's all about working with creative people in a fun-filled environment, with lots of enthusiasm and energy.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align:center\"><span style=\"background-color:transparent; color:rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family:times new roman; font-size:16px\"><img alt=\"Jesper Kyd\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2014/07/Jesper-Kyd-Headshot.jpg\" style=\"height:300px; width:247px\" /></span></p>\n","date":"5/17/2015"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"","href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2014/08/jasper-kyd.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"273"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/hardcore-gamer/"},"strings":{"title":"Are You a Serious Gamer? 10 Telling Signs","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"120000","description":"<p dir=\"ltr\">Ever wondered what constitues being a hardcore gamer?

Video Game Music & Sound","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"240000","description":"<p>Gaming audio has evolved dramatically in recent years. Audio engineering, editing, mixing and modern game composition are held to the self-same standard. Oftentimes the same folks who create Hollywood blockbusters are involved in lending their talents to AAA titles. Guys like Hank Azaria, Liam Neeson, and Snoop Dog are some of the more well-known voice talents out there.</p>\n\n<p>Gaming is no longer the exclusive domain of nerds; it has evolved into a multi-billion-dollar industry. It's a fusion of artistry and blistering entertainment. The sound that goes into creating engaging social games includes high-end audio, quality vocals and awesome music. Some folks may even be anticipating Games of Thrones: Season 23 in the form of an interactive audio-visual entertainment masterpiece streaming on PS10s.</p>\n\n<h2><strong>Video Games Music is Ever-Evolving</strong></h2>\n\n<p>Social gaming has been hailed by some and dismissed by others. Some games even gained Grammy award nominations for their audio, including Heavy Rain, Assassin's Creed, Journey and Messy Effect. Social gaming is attempting to find a balance between profitability, gameplay and its place in the gaming world. There is no doubt that social gaming has exploded onto the scene, with mobile games and social games leading the pack.</p>\n\n<p>Audio has not featured prominently in what constitutes a good gaming experience. This begs the question: is audio really all that important when it comes to playing social games?</p>\n\n<p>Yes! Stellar video game sound provides players with top-tier, holistic experiences.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\"><strong>What's the Deal with Video Game Sound?</strong></h2>\n\n<p>Many gaming developers have not placed all that much emphasis on video game sound, and or music. Consider the fact that most players typically play for short amount of time, with multiple browser windows open simultaneously. A lot of players actually even have <em><strong>their own music</strong></em> playing in the background. Some mobile players turn their audio off, because they are in a public setting. Up until recently there have also been loads of technical limitations on what can be done with audio. For example, mobile and <a href=\"/en/games/platform/browser-games/\" style=\"text-decoration:none;\" title=\"Browser Games\"><u>browser games</u></a> have to work within very narrow parameters in terms of bandwidth, hardware requirements, and storage capacity if they’re going to work on all devices and computers. If players are forced to choose between audio and graphics, the latter always wins out.</p>\n\n<p>This may have sufficed for many social games, but players are becoming more demanding. Players expect high octane entertainment, and an all-round audio-visual experience. Technology is catching up too; limitations are few and far between. Broadband is quicker, hence it processing power is increasing and people with broadband connections are everywhere. Now is the time to re-examine the role of video games sound!</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Superior Sound for Video Games</strong></h2>\n\n<p>Social gaming is quickly bridging the gap between traditional platform offerings, and it's important to revisit the sound issue. This is no small undertaking. It doesn't always start great, and certainly is not always ground-breaking, but it is <em>always </em>important, for any game and its evolution.</p>\n\n<p>The goal should always be to create and deliver an immersive experience to players. Audio makes it relativlely easy to add content; much easier than in-game animation or CGI cinematics. </p>\n\n<h2><strong>How to Create Epic Video Game Music</strong></h2>\n\n<p>One of the most important aspects of video game sound, is <em><strong>video game music</strong></em>. As part of the holistic approach to gaming, video game music has great importance in games (think of Super Mario's theme, for example). Video game music can immediately associate a game to a theme, or vice versa. In order to do so, game developers should, and very often do, cooperate with composers who can take a vision and make it reality. This is done by merging the actual musical art, together with the game in question. </p>\n\n<p>Due to the importance and popularity of music in video games, composers very often specialize in the field of video games. In return, developers spend huge amounts of budget on sound, to make it unique, polished and easily memorable.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Summing Up</strong></h2>\n\n<p>Does great audio make a difference? Absolutely! Not only does it complete a game as an audio-visual experience, but it can stick with a player for, literally, years. Just like the example of the Super Mario theme, there are plenty more, such as Monkey Island and Legend of Zelda, to name a few.</p>\n\n<p>As technology is continuously improving, video games' music and sound only get better day after day. Video gaming is the new frontier, and players expect a complete audio-visual package. High-speed internet, better hardware and superior gaming technology is here to stay.</p>\n","date":"5/17/2015"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2014/07/social-gaming-needs-great-sound.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"270"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/gaming-trends/"},"strings":{"title":"Video Gaming Trends in 2021: How Games Are Becoming More Immersive","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p>Video games are not only ever-evolving but ever-growing. As of 2020, global gaming revenue increased <em>20%</em> to $179.7 billion, <a href=\"https://www.marketwatch.com/story/videogames-are-a-bigger-industry-than-sports-and-movies-combined-thanks-to-the-pandemic-11608654990\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">according to IDC</a>. That makes the industry more lucrative than American movies and sports combined. Wrapped up within this surge of activity was a<em> 24%</em> uptick in mobile gaming.</p>\n\n<p>For anyone with an eye on recent gaming trends, mobiles have been the standout performers in recent years. 2020 proved that fact once again as more than 2.5 billion people used their mobiles to play games. <a href=\"/en/games/genre/puzzle-games/\">Puzzles</a> were the most popular, followed by <a href=\"/en/games/genre/rpg-games/\">RPG</a> and arcade games.</p>\n\n<p>Of course, <a href=\"/en/games/platform/mobile-games/\">mobile gaming</a> trends go beyond these types of games. However, it’s interesting to see how this subsector of the industry has grown in recent years.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>Moreover, it’s confirmation that gaming trends that were once touted as “the future” have fulfilled their promise. Indeed, for anyone that sees <a href=\"/en/blog/vr-tech-future-of-virtual-reality/\">virtual reality (VR)</a> as one of the latest trends in gaming, this is encouraging.</p>\n\n<p>Like mobile gaming, VR has been lauded as one of the top video game trends in recent years. It hasn’t fully broken through yet, but the omens are positive.</p>\n\n<p>Although many innovations often fall flat, some survive the test of time and reshape the industry. Mobile gaming did and VR may do the same. The question, however, is what other trends in the gaming industry have the potential to flourish?</p>\n\n<p>This article will highlight some of the top gaming trends in 2021 and highlight a few ideas that could <em>redefine </em>the future of the industry.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"the-latest-gaming-trends\">The Latest Gaming Trends</h2>\n\n<p>Gaming trends in 2021 are, by and large, focused on one thing: immersion. VR is leading the way, but there are other gaming trends aimed at making products more engaging and accessible to players of all persuasions.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"virtual-reality-and-augmented-reality\">Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality</h3>\n\n<p>The combined might of VR and augmented reality (AR) is forecast to be worth $58.7 million by 2022, <a href=\"https://www.statista.com/statistics/591181/global-augmented-virtual-reality-market-size/#:~:text=The%20global%20augmented%20reality%20(AR,percent%20over%20spending%20in%202019.\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">according to Statista data</a>. Of the two, VR is most likely to change the gaming industry. Oculus Rift and other headsets are gradually becoming less cumbersome and more immersive.</p>\n\n<p>This, in tandem with add-ons, such as haptic feedback gloves like HapticX, is making virtual worlds come to life.</p>\n\n<p>The release of Pokémon Go had gamers thinking that AR may become the dominant force. However, it’s looking likely that AR will become more prominent in advertising and other forms of entertainment. Although virtual overlays and the merging of real and digital is exciting, it isn’t quite right for gaming (at this point).</p>\n\n<p>Thus, in this respect, AR could be seen as one of those highly touted gaming trends that never fulfilled its potential.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h3 id=\"streaming-and-entertainment\">Streaming and Entertainment</h3>\n\n<p>Another of the successful trends in gaming that play into the narrative of inclusion and accessibility is streaming. In February 2021, Twitch had an average of 2.9 million concurrent viewers.</p>\n\n<p>This is thanks to content from more than 7 million streamers and over <a href=\"https://www.twitch.tv/p/press-center/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">30 million daily visitors</a>. Adding to the ever-growing body of streaming content out there, platforms such as YouTube and HitBox are turning gaming into mainstream entertainment.</p>\n\n<p>What’s most interesting about this gaming trend is that it’s now being monetized. Although the top streamers have been earning money for a few years, big brands are jumping on the bandwagon. As well as sponsoring streamers, they’re now hosting their own channels.</p>\n\n<p>As such, Twitch et al are being used to advertise new products and the latest trends in gaming industry sectors.  </p>\n\n<h3 id=\"artificial-intelligence\">Artificial Intelligence</h3>\n\n<p>One of the gaming trends that’s most likely to shape the industry is artificial intelligence (AI). The technology is embryonic at this stage - but - among the gaming trends in 2021 to look out for, it’s right up there as the <em>most </em>promising.</p>\n\n<p>The main way AI is transforming video games and making them more immersive is through <a href=\"/en/blog/npc-non-player-character/\">non-player characters (NPCs)</a>. The concept of AI-powered interactive experiences means that NPCs can act and react intelligently. In other words, these characters can adapt to a player’s actions, learn, and present new scenarios, much like real life.</p>\n\n<p>Another area in which AI has the potential to change gaming is design. Although AI systems can’t create games from scratch, they are capable of designing simple assets. This frees up the developers to focus on the main elements of a game. The end result, in theory, is a better overall product.</p>\n\n<p>Of course, this isn’t a guarantee. If developers can spend more time on their characters and the storyline, however, they have the potential to make experiences more enjoyable. Moreover, they have a better chance of getting the most from current gaming trends and piquing the interests of players.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"data-analytics-and-modelling-future-gaming-trends\">Data Analytics and Modelling Future Gaming Trends</h3>\n\n<p>The final way AI could change the industry is data analytics. These systems have the power to process data and, importantly, learn from it. This can help companies spot gaming trends as they’re developing and react accordingly.</p>\n\n<p>Data analytics has always had a place in the industry. However, with AI, it’s possible to delve deeper into the stats and model potential outcomes. If developers can spot gaming trends before they develop and model their potential success, it can help them cut away the fat. This, in turn, means there will be more great games and less fluff.</p>\n\n<p>Again, this is somewhat theoretical. AI can help provide insights and predictions but, as everyone knows, nothing is ever guaranteed. Certain trends in the gaming industry, like the Nintendo Switch, looked poised to become the next big thing but fell short. Other gaming trends that didn’t seem to have any potential suddenly became a hit.</p>\n\n<p>Therefore, while it’s possible to analyze more data, the future is never set in stone. That, of course, is what makes the industry exciting. You never really know which gaming trends are going to take hold. The one thing that’s clear right now is that video games are becoming more immersive and more intelligent.</p>\n\n<p>That, in turn, has the potential to make everything even more exciting in the coming years. So, if you’re looking for future gaming trends, make sure you focus on those that aim to make experiences more engaging!</p>\n","date":"5/17/2015"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"","href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2014/07/the-hottest-trends-in-social-gaming.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"268"}}],"listArticles":[{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/tv-shows-video-games/"},"strings":{"title":"TV Shows Based on Video Games – The Ultimate Guide"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"What TV shows are based on video games?","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/tv-shows-games-1.webp"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"16286"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/top-casual-games/"},"strings":{"title":"10 of the Best Casual Games to Try in 2023"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"The top 10 casual games of 2023","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/casual-games-1.webp"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"16219"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/top-castle-games/"},"strings":{"title":"Five of the Best: Top Castle Games for 2023"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"Check out the top Castle Games!","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/castle-games-1.webp"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"16214"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/windows-games-on-mac/"},"strings":{"title":"How to Play Windows Games on Mac: A Complete Guide"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"How to play Windows games on Mac","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/windows-games-mac-1.webp"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"16213"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/best-puzzle-games/"},"strings":{"title":"The Best Puzzle Games for Adults in 2023"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"The 15 best puzzle games to play in 2023!","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/puzzle-games-1.webp"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"16206"}}]},"components":{}}},{"name":"widget-articles-aside-promoted-game-v3","type":"widget-articles-aside-promoted-game-v3","model":{"links":{"url":"/en/plarium-play/download-user/?plid=885739&pxl=seo&appId=27","urlForGamePage":"/en/game/raid-shadow-legends/","googlePlayUrl":"https://app.appsflyer.com/com.plarium.raidlegends?pid=SEO&c=749089","appStoreUrl":"https://app.appsflyer.com/id1371565796?pid=SEO&c=749088&af_siteid=HomePage"},"strings":{"title":"RAID: Shadow Legends","subtitle":"Collect 700+ Champions & Fight For Glory","label":"Download","analyticsGameName":"raid"},"images":{"promoImg":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/plarium-play/games/Raid/promo.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"authGameTheme":"default","isRedirectDownload":"true"},"repeaters":{},"components":{}}},{"name":"widget-articles-subscribe-v3","type":"widget-articles-subscribe-v3","model":{"links":{},"strings":{"title":"Subscribe to the Blog","errorInvalid":"Invalid email address.

The Top 6 Browsers","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p>Are you into online games, but tired of glitches, popups, and latency issues? If you're looking for the best browser for your gaming needs, search no more.</p>\n\n<p>Read on to discover more about some of the best browsers for 2021 gaming. <strong>Focusing on safety, speed, and reliability, this guide is designed to help you find the best browser for your needs.</strong></p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"google-chrome\">Google Chrome</h2>\n\n<p>According to statistics, Chrome remains the most popular browser out there, with <a href=\"https://gs.statcounter.com/search-engine-market-share\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">over 90% of market shares</a>. </p>\n\n<p>However, just because it’s the most popular, doesn’t mean it’s the best browse for online gaming.</p>\n\n<p>One thing everyone knows is that Chrome is fast. There are many metrics for measuring the speed of a browser, but several platforms have noted that Google now auto-blocks any ads that violate Coalition for Better Ads guidelines. In practice, this means there are fewer things to load per page meaning faster page load times.</p>\n\n<p>The browser works well on mobiles too, meaning you’ve got great cross-platform compatibility. When you combine this with fewer pop-ups and fast loading times, <strong>Chrome is, arguably, the best browser for HTML5 type of games</strong>, both on <a href=\"/en/games/platform/pc-games/\">desktop</a> and <a href=\"/en/games/platform/mobile-games/\">mobile</a>.</p>\n\n<p>However, Chrome is a notorious <a href=\"/en/blog/ddr5-ram/\">RAM</a> hog, especially if you're using multiple tabs. <em>For this reason, it's recommended that you minimize the number of windows you have open when gaming.</em></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"safari\">Safari</h2>\n\n<p>When you consider Safari’s place in gaming, it's perhaps obvious to say that it's the best choice Mac users, as it’s been designed specifically for Apple devices. Don't let its nature as a default browser fool you, however, as Safari has also proved itself as an excellent choice for Facebook games no matter your OS.</p>\n\n<p>Because Safari 11 gives users the option to auto-block videos, it means you’re faced with fewer distractions and data drains. As Facebook continues to ramp up its video ads, it’s nice to have a browser that can shut them off. The only real downside is that, like most browsers, Flash is no longer supported.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"internet-explorer-11\">Internet Explorer 11</h2>\n\n<p>Some people love to criticize Internet Explorer because it’s not the fastest browser on the market, mainly because many people grew up with a sluggish search experience. While it still may not be the quickest, it is still one of the best browsers around.</p>\n\n<p>IE11 uses your Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) for all graphics and text rendering, and it’s capable of processing graphics-heavy pages more efficiently. This is great for strategy MMO players, who play <a href=\"/en/games/platform/browser-games/\">games on their browser</a> with a lot of units and action on-screen simultaneously.</p>\n\n<p>Additionally, with IE being the default browser for older versions of Windows, the latest software is compatible with the touch browsing capabilities of Windows 8, making it a great fit for mobile and tablet devices.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"The best browsers change the way we connect\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2018/week_19/speed.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"microsoft-edge\">Microsoft Edge</h2>\n\n<p>Although it’s still somewhat underused by gaming fans, <a href=\"https://news.microsoft.com/en-gb/2018/04/26/these-are-the-new-features-you-have-to-try-in-xboxs-next-update/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Edge links perfectly with Xbox Live</a>. By accessing the browser via the console, you can not only pick up where they left off in a game, but also mute any unnecessary sounds, read page content aloud, and upload files to their PC.</p>\n\n<p>Edge stands out as a great browser for console gamers, especially for users already integrated into Microsoft's Xbox ecosystem. Edge also uses <a href=\"https://www.tomsguide.com/news/chrome-firefox-edge-ram-comparison\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">less RAM than Chrome or Firefox</a>, which is a big plus for players on older systems.</p>\n\n<p>The big downside? Edge no longer supports Macromedia's Flash. Noticing a pattern yet?</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"firefox\">Firefox</h2>\n\n<p>Once enjoying around a 30% share of the browser marketplace, Firefox is no longer the force it once was.</p>\n\n<p>That said, Firefox is still one of the safest and most reliable web browsers, though, comparatively, not as fast.</p>\n\n<p>In 2020, however, thanks to the Firefox Quantum update, the browser now uses less RAM - though still more than most. If you were a former Firefox user who was discouraged due to slow speeds, it might be worth re-investigating.</p>\n\n<p>Firefox also works well with virtual and augmented reality, and <a href=\"https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2018/04/03/mozilla-brings-firefox-augmented-virtual-reality/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">can now process VR and AR content more efficiently</a> after their 2018 update.</p>\n\n<p>It’s fair to say Firefox is one of the top browsers for PC games - as long as you don't want to play Flash games, of course.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Security is an important element for the best browsers\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2018/week_19/security.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"opera\">Opera</h2>\n\n<p>Despite being one of the lesser-user browsers, Opera easily punches above its weight. In fact, Opera can be considered one of the fastest browsers out there for those with slow systems.</p>\n\n<p>Opera has a turbo protocol that reroutes traffic, increasing processing speeds for users with low bandwidth. It also compresses data, so pages load faster, as well as auto-blocking unwanted adverts.</p>\n\n<p>Thanks to this trio of features, users can enjoy browser <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmo-games/\">MMO games</a> even if they don’t have a powerful desktop or connection. Furthermore, Opera, unlike the others on this page, still supports Flash - as well as also being a high-powered gaming browser by today's standards.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"The best browser depends on user needs\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2018/week_19/availability.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"choose-the-best-browser-for-your-gaming-needs\">Choose the Best Browser for Your Gaming Needs</h2>\n\n<p>The browser industry is so varied, with each company excelling in different areas, so the reality is that each product has its pros and cons.</p>\n\n<p>In terms of convenience, Google Chrome is the best for gaming, because it’s fast and easier to set up for HTML5 games.</p>\n\n<p>However, Firefox is a great alternative, and its VR and AR support makes it a serious contender, standing out as an early frontrunner in terms of supporting next-gen technology.</p>\n\n<p>If you're a fan of older, non-HTML5 titles, then Opera is essentially your only choice. The browser supports Flash and hosts an enormous classic game library.</p>\n\n<p>In conclusion, there are plenty of browsers to choose from, each suitable for a <em>variety </em>of different types of player.</p>\n<script type=\"application/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https://schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"BlogPosting\",\n  \"mainEntityOfPage\": {\n    \"@type\": \"WebPage\",\n    \"@id\": \"https://plarium.com/en/blog/best-browser/\"\n  },\n  \"headline\": \"What is the Best Browser for Gaming?

MMOs Are a Man’s World but Gaming is Gender Neutral</h2>\n\n<p>While most <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmo-games/\">MMO</a> players are male, there is still a significant number of female players who we can’t just ignore.</p>\n\n<p>Based on relatively recent information, only 60% of players are male. A few years prior to that, around 85% of them were males, so the number of females in MMOs is growing.</p>\n\n<p>This may be due to a general increase in women in gaming, not just affecting types of MMO gamers (such as women being casual gamers, hardcore gamers or <a href=\"/en/blog/gaymer/\">gaymers</a>).</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"women-gamers-on-the-rise\">Women Gamers on the Rise</h3>\n\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https://www.isfe.eu/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/ISFE-final-1.pdf\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">2020 IFSE European Video Games Industry report</a>, 45% of gamers in Europe were female. More significantly, 51% of all European <em><strong>mobile</strong></em> gamers are women.</p>\n\n<p>And, just to prove that gaming isn’t bad for the brain, women gamers are 3X more likely to study for a STEM (science, technology, engineering, or math) degree than non-gamers.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"2.-age-is-not-just-a-number:-different-ages-for-different-types-of-gamers\">2. Age is Not Just a Number: Different Ages for Different Types of Gamers</h2>\n\n<p>It doesn’t matter what types of MMO gamers you look at, they’re probably going to be 26 years old, or very close to that age.</p>\n\n<p>This dispels the myth that all gamers are teens. In fact, only about 25% of all MMO gamers can be considered teenagers between the ages of 12 and 17.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"a-surprising-average-age-for-gamers\">A Surprising Average Age for Gamers</h3>\n\n<p>More strikingly, the average age of gamers across the board (not just MMOs) is 33, according to the <a href=\"https://www.theesa.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/2019-Essential-Facts-About-the-Computer-and-Video-Game-Industry.pdf\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Entertainment Software Association</a>.</p>\n\n<p>What’s interesting to note here is that, on average, female players are older than their male counterparts.</p>\n\n<p>The ESA’s 2019 report shows that the average male gamer is 32. The average female gamer is 34. Moreover, 27% of all female MMO players are over the age of 35, compared to just 13% of males.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"3.-the-types-of-gamers-you-know-(probably)-aren’t-lonely-souls\">3. The Types of Gamers You Know (Probably) Aren’t Lonely Souls</h2>\n\n<p>The major misconception about the types of gamers out there is that they’re all single young men. In some ways, this is true.</p>\n\n<p>36% of MMO players, for example, are either married or engaged to be married. Moreover, that 36% does not include players who are currently in a relationship. It’s likely that at least 50% of gamers are in some type of relationship.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"gamers-are-the-opposite-of-the-lonely-type\">Gamers Are the Opposite of the Lonely Type</h3>\n\n<p>Another fact that supports the idea of gamers being sociable comes from a 2008 survey by IGN Entertainment and Ipsos Media CT.</p>\n\n<p>That study showed that gamers are <a href=\"https://www.marketingcharts.com/industries/media-and-entertainment-6560\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">twice as likely to go on dates</a> than non-gamers. So, when you look at the different types of gamers online, don’t be surprised if they’re more sociable than other people.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"4.-gamers-aren’t-lazy,-unemployed,-or-unmotivated\">4. Gamers Aren’t Lazy, Unemployed, or Unmotivated</h2>\n\n<p>Many serious MMO players hold down a job so they can keep playing competitively. Over 50% of players work a full-time job, and another 12% work part-time or are part-time students.</p>\n\n<p>22% are full time students, 3% are home-makers, 1% are retired, and only 11% are unemployed. There’s no significant difference between males and females when it comes to being employed or not.</p>\n\n<p>So, we can say that most types of MMO gamers are active, employed, and motivated.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"5.-the-types-of-gamers-you-know-are-dedicated-to-their-craft\">5. The Types of Gamers You Know Are Dedicated to their Craft</h2>\n\n<p>The average video gamer spends eight hours and 27 minutes playing games each week, according to research by <a href=\"https://www.limelight.com/lp/state-of-online-gaming-2021/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Limelight Networks</a>.</p>\n\n<p>A study of 4,000 people across eight countries found that, in 2020, gamers spent 14% more time gaming than they did in 2019.</p>\n\n<p>Delving further into the stats, 44% of those surveyed played more than seven hours a week, and 25% were locked in for more than 12 hours.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"mmo-gamers-are-a-hardcore-type-of-gamers\">MMO Gamers are a Hardcore Type of Gamers</h3>\n\n<p>If we delve even <em><strong>deeper</strong></em>, of all the gamers out there, MMO fans are the most hardcore. On average, MMO gamers spend 21 hours a week in their virtual worlds.</p>\n\n<p>For comparison, the average American spends 28 hours watching TV each week. So, while it might seem like gamers are glued to their screens for endless hours, it’s actually not as bad as people assume.</p>\n\n<p>In reality, different types of gamers spend differing amounts of time dedicated to their craft.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"there-are-many-different-types-of-gamers\">There Are Many Different Types of Gamers</h2>\n\n<p>After reviewing the facts, you can see that the random person on the street doesn’t really know what they are talking about.</p>\n\n<p><strong>The truth is there are no “typical” types of gamers</strong>. The gaming community is as diverse as they come and there are as many types of gamers as there are games.</p>\n\n<p>However, regardless of where a player comes from, we all have one thing in common: we <em>love </em>gaming.</p>\n","date":"3/2/2016"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"","href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/15/mmo-games.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"11139"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/graphics/"},"strings":{"title":"The Impact & Evolution of Video Game Graphics","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"420000","description":"<p>Many elements combine to create a memorable gaming experience, but few are quite as important as video game graphics. Sure, the general feel and gameplay of a title might be vital, but the overall look of the game is also very important.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>Of course, gaming graphics have been on a massive journey through the years, with some of the earliest titles using only the most basic design elements.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"the-evolution-of-video-game-graphics\">The Evolution of Video Game Graphics</h2>\n\n<p>Many experts regard Tennis for Two as <a href=\"/en/blog/the-first-video-game/\">the first-ever video game</a> to be created. Unveiled back in October 1958, it was showcased at the Brookhaven National Laboratory during an open house event.</p>\n\n<p>The tennis game was created on an oscilloscope and used extremely basic game graphics. However, it still captured the public’s attention very quickly. In fact, people waited in line to try out the fascinating game.</p>\n\n<p>Of course, video gaming went on to develop extensively in the years after Tennis for Two. Companies soon became household names thanks to titles that took off almost overnight, although that was once again fairly limited when it came to gaming graphics.</p>\n\n<p>However, the evolution of video game graphics has taken massive steps forward since then, and these days almost anything is possible.</p>\n\n<p>Developers can apply all kinds of aesthetics to titles, from 2D cartoonish imagery to much more high-quality, life-like styles. Everything from historical settings to <a href=\"/en/blog/football-video-games/\">sports stadiums</a> can be rendered perfectly.</p>\n\n<figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Gaming graphics have been improving dramatically over the last few years\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/graphics-2.webp\" /></p>\n\n<figcaption>Gaming graphics have been improving dramatically over the last few years</figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<h2 id=\"how-game-graphics-set-the-stage\">How Game Graphics Set the Stage</h2>\n\n<p>The evolution of video game graphics is fascinating to consider, but it is also interesting to note how gaming graphics can have an impact on player psychology.</p>\n\n<p>In cinema, filters and color scales are widely used to identify the tone and genre of a film – they give it an individual identity. In the gaming world, this very color scale is what sets the tone for the action to follow.</p>\n\n<p>Color and emotions are intertwined, and this is evident in the way that certain colors can change our response to a game.</p>\n\n<p>Consider for a moment the impact that certain color configurations have on our moods.</p>\n\n<p id=\"red:\"><strong>Red </strong>- Evokes a feeling of angst, dread, and tension – much the same as deep color variations of orange. The horror genre is peppered with these types of color scales. Monsters, goblins, demons, and all sorts of other abominations often take on an eerie and unnerving glow in deep oranges and reds.</p>\n\n<p id=\"yellow:\"><strong>Yellow </strong>- A particularly interesting color in the gaming world, as it often indicates foulness, infection, and sickness.</p>\n\n<p id=\"blue:\"><strong>Blue </strong>- Cloudy, murky, dusky blues are also unnerving. They instill a feeling of dread and foreboding and are often used in the video game graphics of thrillers. Your sphere of vision is limited when these shades are used, and the thought of the unknown lurking in the background is most unnerving.</p>\n\n<figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Consider for a moment the impact that certain color configurations have on our moods.\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/graphics-3.webp\" /></p>\n\n<figcaption>Consider for a moment the impact that certain color configurations have on our moods</figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<p>Throughout the evolution of video game graphics, our minds have associated certain gaming graphics and colors with the stereotypes we have listed above.</p>\n\n<p>This has allowed game developers and filmmakers to set the mood by using game graphics to maximum effect. Put simply, blending the right colors together can create the perfect setting.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"interface-importance-in-game-graphics\">Interface Importance in Game Graphics</h2>\n\n<p>Interface creation in modern times ranges from the highly complex to the comparatively simple. This is easily seen in the way in which games and gaming graphics are developed today.</p>\n\n<p>When you're playing <a href=\"/en/games/platform/mobile-games/\">mobile games</a> or social games, you will frequently interact with the user interface. If the UI fails to captivate your attention, it has failed in its primary purpose. Player retention is at the heart of all social and mobile games.</p>\n\n<p>The goal is always to use intricate detail when designing an immersive gaming interface. A careful balance has to be struck between pop-up windows and the continuity of flow.</p>\n\n<p>Game designers constantly juggle many elements to entertain, engage, and to keep players wanting more. Each of the in-game elements must serve a specific purpose to retain the loyalty of players, challenge them at every opportunity, and create a sense of community.</p>\n\n<p>The way that pop-up windows are showcased will allow game creators to emphasize the specific details necessary for players to proceed through the game. The specific video game graphics that are used for these pop-up windows also relay certain messages to players.</p>\n\n<figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Color variations in gaming graphics\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/graphics-4.webp\" /></p>\n\n<figcaption>Color variations in gaming graphics</figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<p>For example, sharp corners and the use of blades, swords, axes, and other weapons in video game graphics portray aggression. These types of symbols and designs are ideally suited to battle-ready warrior games.</p>\n\n<p>In contrast, rounded game graphics such as circular shapes, swirls, and twirls represent tranquillity, sophistication, elegance, and relaxation. These are best suited to fantasy-themed games where elves, gnomes, princes, and princesses roam through a fairy-tale kingdom.</p>\n\n<p>Certain player expectations are inherent in typical video game graphics. For example, red signifies no, and green signifies yes.</p>\n\n<p>Other in-game possibilities can also be represented by the pair, such as defeat or victory and rejection or acceptance.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"backgrounds,-characters,-and-text\">Backgrounds, Characters, and Text</h2>\n\n<p>Setting the scene is a vital component of the game, as it determines whether or not the player is absorbed into the gaming world. Of course, video game graphics play a key role in this issue.</p>\n\n<p>By designing the background with attention to detail, players are drawn into the world of the characters they interact with in the game. The use of quality gaming graphics in background design boosts the level of realism and makes it that much more engaging to players.</p>\n\n<p>The evolution of video game graphics also means that they can now be used to create animated backgrounds, which give the impression of ongoing activity in an environment.</p>\n\n<figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Designing the game background with attention to detail is a major element of game graphics\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/graphics-6.webp\" /></p>\n\n<figcaption>Designing the game background with attention to detail is a major element of game graphics</figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<p>In addition, using impressive game graphics to create a character's appearance may be the best possible way to arouse certain emotions in a player.</p>\n\n<p>A character who displays fear, dread, or tension will instil certain emotions within players to make them want to help and assuage that character's feelings. The player projects an image of himself/herself onto the antagonist or protagonist in the game.</p>\n\n<p>Finally, the importance of text cannot be understated. Text helps to explain in-game assets such as defenses and weapons. Developers need to undertake rigorous testing to ensure that there is synergy between what the character is wearing and using and functionality issues.</p>\n\n<p>It should also gel with the overarching ideas and game graphics featured in the title.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"the-power-of-video-game-graphics\">The Power of Video Game Graphics</h2>\n\n<p>Gaming is all about interaction, immersion, and emotional connection. Developers use many elements to make this happen, but video game graphics are particularly crucial. Top-tier gaming graphics can create the ideal setting, background, location, and game milieu.</p>\n\n<figure>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Intricate details in gaming graphics\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/graphics-5.webp\" /></p>\n\n<figcaption>Intricate details in gaming graphics</figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<h3 id=\"just-how-much-do-graphics-matter-in-video-games?\">Just How Much Do Graphics Matter in Video Games?</h3>\n\n<p>Early gaming hits like Pong achieved massive success with limited graphics. However, <em>these days</em>, gaming graphics play an important role in creating the look and feel of titles. They can generate an atmosphere and a level of immersion that was previously simply not possible.</p>\n\n<p>The evolution of video game graphics has been fascinating to watch through the years and it will be intriguing to see how things continue to develop in the future. Pixel processing techniques that can further improve photorealism, more gate density, and mixed reality are just a few of the exciting, potential innovations that industry experts predict will be available by 2030. </p>\n","date":"2/9/2016"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"Graphics are only increasingly more important in gaming","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/graphics-1.webp"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"11040"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/game-setting/"},"strings":{"title":"Learn How To Create A Fantastic Game Setting","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"540000","description":"<p>The overwhelming majority of information we process is done visually. In fact, experts put that figure as high as 90%.

If something doesn't captivate our attention from the get-go, chances are we’ll quickly lose interest. The gaming industry also faces tough challenges as it attempts to enthrall players and retain them as loyal patrons. Consider for a moment that the biggest names in the gaming world struggle with this every single day – then imagine how hard it is for small gaming companies trying to make a name for themselves.</p>\n\n<p>We will demonstrate how a balanced setting can greatly assist when it comes to player retention, interaction and enjoyment in the <a href=\"/en/games/\">game</a>. We’ll start by taking you back to where it all begins – a white canvas!</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"understanding-a-game's-setting\">Understanding a Game's Setting</h2>\n\n<p>Simply put, the setting is the environment where the action takes place in a game. There are all sorts of settings out there, and you're probably familiar with many of them. These include art deco, post-apocalyptic, sci-fi, fantasy, battlefield, etc. You can gather a lot of information about the game from its setting.</p>\n\n<p>Let’s consider several games and the settings they use to create the right atmosphere: Mass Effect and Star Trek are sci-fi games of note; Neverwinter Nights is a fantasy-laden game, and Fallout takes place in a post-apocalyptic world. That having been said, it's not always cut and dry with different games.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"games'-settings-are-not-necessarily-either-one-or-the-other\">Games' Settings are not Necessarily Either One or the Other</h3>\n\n<p>Sometimes there is so much going on in the game that the setting needs to use multiple elements to create the ideal environment. Consider the differences between dieselpunk and steampunk – both stem from the early 19th century and they both refer to the era when steam engines reigned supreme.</p>\n\n<p>However dieselpunk is more modern and it extols the virtues of the progress being made with diesel technology. Dieselpunk as a genre was heavily influenced by the period between World War II and the mid-1950s, with plenty of emphasis on future-oriented technology.</p>\n\n<p>Gaming developers utilize setting to maximum effect. It's about so much more than the time and place where the action unfolds; a good setting involves myriad factors that create the laws of the fictional world where the game characters interact with players.</p>\n\n<p>The goal is to create the ultimate gaming universe – a place where players are engaged and rewarded with stellar gameplay.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"understanding-the-flow\">Understanding the Flow</h2>\n\n<p>Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, the world-famous psychology professor of Claremont Graduate University, was perhaps the first notable authority to define flow. In fact, he was so enamored by the concept of flow that he called it the secret to happiness. To him, flow is about ongoing satisfaction in activities – a state of immersion and heightened focus in all facets of life.</p>\n\n<p>In the gaming universe, this is achieved when all your skills are applied to solve challenges. There are multiple components to the state of flow, of which the setting is certainly one of the most important. The goal at all times is to bring players into the gaming arena and blur the lines between the gaming world and the real world. This results in immersion, integration and oneness with the gaming universe. Real-world constraints such as time, space and gravity melt away.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"how-choice-weighs-in-on-game-seetings\">How Choice Weighs In On Game Seetings</h2>\n\n<p>When gaming developers don't pay sufficient attention to things like target marketing, engaging plot lines or the game’s setting, problems arise. This leads to many mistakes, including the following:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>By working backwards, a developer establishes the setting first and then adjusts the mechanics to mesh with that setting. The developer then decides which types of players would be interested in this particular product.</li>\n\t<li>Some developers believe that the mechanics of the game are all important. They forego things like setting – to their detriment.</li>\n\t<li>The developer may create a game without paying any attention to the target audience.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>The problem with the first example is that there is a mismatch between reality and the images created. As a case in point, Demolition Lander featured a massive scope and a space setting, but the graphics were too underdeveloped and the mechanics failed to do justice to such a large-scale universe. As a result, this Kickstarter game didn’t hit its targets.</p>\n\n<p>Settings that are haphazardly applied to really interesting games can also ruin the experience for players. Mirror’s Edge features incredible graphics and animation and top-notch mechanics. The poor quality game world and an uninspiring script don't do justice to this game. As a result of negative feedback by critics and players alike, the flow of the game was severely hampered. This was evident during the story campaign where players found it difficult to immerse themselves in the futuristic city.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"timing-is-everything\">Timing is everything</h2>\n\n<p>At the beginning of a game's development, the setting must be chosen. During the game planning stage, things like the payment system, gaming platform, in-game mechanics and other aspects must be factored into the equation. Together, these aspects will determine which type of players will be attracted to the game.</p>\n\n<p>Extensive market research needs to be conducted in advance so that the game is well received by its audience. Of course, if it were possible, the best thing to do would be to take a control group of players and see precisely what would satisfy their gaming preferences, and then build a game around that.</p>\n\n<p>With the direction established, setting takes center stage. At this point, it's necessary to conduct extensive market research – trends, market analysis, target audience needs etc. Based on the outcomes of the research, implementing a plan of action regarding setting, mechanics and other aspects of upcoming games, should start.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"the-importance-of-text\">The Importance of Text</h2>\n\n<p>Some games do a fantastic job of telling a story without displaying any text. However, in spite of the advancements in graphics technology, text is still incredibly useful for gaming purposes. MUD gaming developers used text to bring players into a state of continual engagement, excitement and contentment – flow. As a result, most of the player base was generated through player referrals.</p>\n\n<p>Other games that use text to great effect include Sword & Sorcery and Fallout. Without any real hardware required to run those games, players could use their own creative flair to imagine the most fantastic game settings in the universe.</p>\n\n<p>Social gaming is all about immersion. The ideal setting needs to be created, with a careful balance between text and visuals, to reel in players and keep them entertained at all times. The combined effect of text and visuals must grab the player’s attention from the moment they register, and keep them coming back for more, day after day.</p>\n\n<p>Game lore is an integral component of all good <a href=\"/en/games/genre/strategy-games/\">strategy-based games</a>. The lore includes elements such as economics, social order, mythology, religious components, and other idiosyncrasies that are innate components of the game setting. By creating a rich culture within a game, greater consistency and focus can be achieved. This makes it possible to update the game accordingly.</p>\n\n<figure>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Game Lore is an integral part of a good game setting\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/game-setting-3.webp\" title=\"Plariums Rich Game Lore\" /></p>\n\n<figcaption>Game Lore is an integral part of a good game setting</figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<p>The type of text that is added in to a game is not meant for window dressing purposes only. It is meant to add thematic value to the game.</p>\n\n<p>Several different types of text occur in a game, ranging from standard literary texts to technical texts. The latter refers to things like updates on interface elements, news and in-game manuals. In a pirate game, for example, you would be better served with ‘Argh! Step aboard me ol’ galley and rain fire on …’ than the simple ‘Welcome aboard!’. The diction used must suit the theme and flavor of the game to create the ultimate immersive experience.</p>\n\n<p>This goes to the very core of setting the scene, blurring the lines between fact and fantasy effectively and creating an unforgettable experience. No stone should be left unturned when it comes to the setting. This applies to technical support, e-mails, forum posts and social networks, too.</p>\n\n<p>Players expect all aspects of the game to be true to the game’s very essence. One slip-up is all it takes to shatter expectations and jerk a player out of the state of flow, and that's why game developers eat and sleep the games they create.</p>\n\n<p>These types of texts keep things lively by engaging players on multiple fronts. The idea is to create a setting that transcends the boundaries of the game and appeals to players in other aspects of their daily lives. It all comes back to the concept of flow – the sum total of all the components of the game must create a more meaningful, rewarding and immersive experience for the players.</p>\n\n<p>Take a look at this letter, written by an enigmatic lady named Voronika to fans of Pathogenic. This was launched on the eve of their campaign on Kickstarter.</p>\n\n<figure>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Voronika's Email to fans of Pathogenic\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/game-setting-4.webp\" /></p>\n\n<figcaption>Voronika's Email to fans of Pathogenic</figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<p>It is not uncommon for game developers to go the whole 9 yards when creating a game universe. Some developers go so far as to create fictional corporations from their game universe, open up offices on their behalf or even establish multiple websites as part of their advertising campaign.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"persuaded-to-play\">Persuaded to Play</h2>\n\n<p>As you can see, the setting of a game is crucial to the game’s authenticity and integrity. This is an all-encompassing undertaking that covers everything from text to video, the user interface, graphics, and music and lyrics. The idea is to take all these individual components and assemble them to create a whole that is much greater than the sum of its parts.</p>\n\n<p>Stay Tuned for more!</p>\n","date":"12/20/2015"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"Game settings can make or break a game!","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/game-setting-1.webp"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"10872"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/making-of-warrior/"},"strings":{"title":"How to Create a Fantasy Warrior: Five Steps to Building a Virtual Hero","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p>To create the perfect fantasy warrior, you have to know what one is. To build a character that not only has an imposing onscreen presence but upholds the virtues of the world in which it exists, you need to know the basics. Regardless, the notion of a fantasy warrior boils down to one main skilling: fighting.</p>\n\n<p>Although true warriors are so much more than fighters, there’s no escaping the fact this is their core skill.</p>\n\n<p>Indeed, you only have to look at fantasy warrior games such as Dungeons & Dragons to know this. In some games, warriors are referred to as fighters. In others, this <a href=\"/en/blog/mythological-rpg-fantasy-game-characters/\">character</a> class consists of knights or bruisers.</p>\n\n<p>Therefore, when you’re looking to create a fantasy warrior or a fantasy warrior <a href=\"/en/games/\">game</a>, this fundamental quality must be kept in mind at all times. If the character is not a fighter at heart, then, despite any other qualities they might have, they’re not a warrior.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<h2>The Attributes of a Fantasy Warrior</h2>\n\n<p>This leads to the question of what general skills should a warrior have? What makes them a fighter? These are open-ended questions with many possible answers. However, if you’re starting from scratch, you’ll want to give them the following attributes:</p>\n\n<p><strong>Strength </strong>– A weak warrior is not going to be effective. This doesn’t mean the character has to be so physically imposing that it’s absurd. However, they need to have a robust frame that’s built for battle.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Inner Strength</strong> – Physicality is just one part of the strength equation. Warriors must have a strong spirit. A strong self-belief and an ability to step into situations that others wouldn’t.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Health</strong> – The ideal fantasy warrior has more health than the average character. In other words, they’re able to take more knocks and survive harsher conditions.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Weapons</strong> – Every fighter needs an arsenal of weapons. The type of weapons they have will depend on the fantasy warrior game in question. For example, they wouldn’t have a gun in a medieval setting.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Skills </strong>– The best fantasy warriors aren’t lumbering brutes that swing swords aimlessly. A successful fighter is one that thinks tactically and has proficiency over the weapons they carry. Therefore, when you’re creating a fantasy warrior game, the fighters must have the ability to acquire and refine their skills.</p>\n\n<h2>Fantasy Warrior Art Design: Getting the Right Look</h2>\n\n<p>Once you’ve gifted a character with skills that align with the warrior code, you need to manifest them in reality. Specifically, you need to make your character look the part. The video below shows how concept artist Valentin Demchenko builds a fantasy warrior. From an initial outline, he adds layers of detail until he gets a finished character.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/O9U0eKDMsKM\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>What you can see from the video above is that all the above qualities are immediately apparent. The character is big and bold. They’re wearing a helmet which signals they have an arsenal of weapons. They have an imposing frame that suggests they’re robust and can survive a battle.</p>\n\n<p>You’ll also notice that the chest is puffed out, signaling certain inner confidence. Even from an outside perspective, you can tell that this is a warrior. Even if you didn’t know what qualities the average gaming warrior has, you’d know that this character was a fighter.</p>\n\n<p>It’s also important to consider the finer details of this character. As much as you want to create a strong look, you also need to ensure the character is believable. “Believable” in this sense means that they look part of the game and not necessarily lifelike.  </p>\n\n<h3>Creating a Believable Character</h3>\n\n<p>Going back to Demchenko’s character, you can see how each layer homes in on smaller and smaller details. By the eight-minute mark, he’s adding chainmail, fur lining, and buttons to the jacket. Without these intricate touches, the character won’t feel authentic, and, from a general perspective, which would spoil the game.</p>\n\n<p>As much as you want a fantasy warrior to be imposing, you want this to happen in a believable way.</p>\n\n<h2>Don’t Discount Fantasy Warrior Women</h2>\n\n<p>The final consideration that many people often overlook is the role of females in warrior-based games. Although there are many instances where the characters are either animal hybrids or some kind of genderless humanlike monster, there is a misconception that warriors are always men.</p>\n\n<p>That’s simply not true. Although fantasy warrior females may not look as physically imposing as their male counterparts, that doesn’t mean they’re any less effective.</p>\n\n<p>In technical terms, a fantasy warrior woman is known as a virago. This word comes from the Latin virago and means vigorous or man-like. In this regard, this is a certain connection to men but, crucially, this is a historical hangover.</p>\n\n<h2>Women Can Be Viragos</h2>\n\n<p>For example, famous viragos such as Joan of Arc were almost forced to dress and act in a masculine way in order to fit with the times. However, the world has changed since the 15th century.</p>\n\n<p>Today, women can stand front and center in the own right and not play to male stereotypes. Therefore, when it comes to fantasy warrior art design and philosophy, this needs to be taken into consideration.</p>\n\n<p>Firstly, women can be warriors. Secondly, they don’t have to look like men. They may wear similar garments and use the same weapons. However, there’s nothing in the rulebook that says they need to have male characteristics. From this, it’s possible to say that the warrior code is genderless. It’s a set of qualities that we associate with <em>strength, valor, </em>and <em>honor</em>.</p>\n\n<p>The fantasy warrior ideal doesn’t need a gender, it simply needs to exemplify the image of a fighter. The image of someone who sits outside of the norm and will be the first one into battle. That’s how you create a fantasy warrior!</p>\n","date":"12/2/2015"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2014/07/the-hottest-trends-in-social-gaming.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"10800"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/difference-between-mmo-and-mmorpgs/"},"strings":{"title":"What Is an MMO, What Is an MMORPG and the Difference Between Them","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p>What is the difference between <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmo-games/\">MMO Games</a> and <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmorpg-games/\">MMORPG Games</a>?</p>\n\n<p>Are they the same thing? How do I tell them apart? Which one am I playing right now, and what does it have to do with Rocket-Propelled Grenades?</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>You have probably asked yourself at least some of these questions at one point or another. Otherwise, you won’t be here.</p>\n\n<p>Surprisingly enough, the answers to all these questions are quite simple:</p>\n\n<p>An MMORPG is a type of MMO.</p>\n\n<p>But to really understand this answer, you first need to know <a href=\"/en/blog/what-is-an-mmo/\">what exactly are MMOs</a>.</p>\n\n<h2>What Are MMOs & MMORPGs?</h2>\n\n<p>Let’s start with the basics: what does an MMO mean? <strong>An MMO is a “Massively Multiplayer Online” game</strong>.</p>\n\n<p>To put it in simpler terms, an MMO is a game which a large number of people can play simultaneously. You don’t play with or against just a handful of players, but thousands, sometimes even millions of them at the same time.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"What is the difference between MMO and MMORPG?\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2018/week_4/mmo-mmorpg-1.jpg\" title=\"What is MMO?\" /></p>\n\n<p><strong>MMORPG means “Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game.”</strong></p>\n\n<p>Another somewhat comical definition is “Many Men Online Role-Playing as Girls” (it’s funny because it's true).</p>\n\n<p>Some might say that all MMORPGs are easily recognizable by their fantasy settings, but that's not at all the case. Though the majority of RPGs do take place in the realm of elves, orcs, and dragons, a lot of them choose different worlds to explore, like far-away planets or post-apocalyptic wastelands.</p>\n\n<p>The keen observers among you may have noticed the two types of games have very similar definitions, but not quite the same. That leads us to the key difference between MMO and MMORPG.</p>\n\n<h2>What Is the Difference between MMO and MMORPG?</h2>\n\n<p>When someone asks what a game is, they often refer to its genre or subgenre. A game “is” a first-person shooter, a survival game or a role-playing game. It’s the same thing with MMOs.</p>\n\n<p>No game is just an MMO. It’s like saying a game is a “multiplayer game.” That’s well and good, but it doesn’t really tell you anything about the game itself, apart from the fact you can play it with (or against) other people. The game has to belong to a specific genre.</p>\n\n<p>Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games, or MMORPGs, are MMOs that belong to the RPG genre.</p>\n\n<p>They are role-playing games that can be played online by a large number of players simultaneously.</p>\n\n<p><strong>The difference between MMO and MMORPG is that all MMORPGs are MMOs, but not all MMOs are MMORPGs.</strong></p>\n\n<p><a href=\"/en/blog/what-is-an-mmorpg/\">MMORPG is by definition an RPG</a>, while an MMO can be anything from a <a href=\"/en/blog/battle-royale/\">Battle Royale</a> action title, a real-time <a href=\"/en/games/genre/strategy-games/\">strategy game</a>, or even a new type of interactive experience that defies genres.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MMORPG is a type of MMO game\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2018/week_4/mmo-mmorpg-2.jpg\" title=\"MMORPG is a type of MMO game\" /></p>\n\n<p>It’s a subtle distinction, but an important one. It can be a bit embarrassing talking to a fellow gamer about the new MMORPG you’re playing, only for them to realize you’re actually playing a hardcore Multiplayer Strategy title with a deep base-customization system and no <a href=\"/en/mmo-games/rpg-elements/\">RPG elements</a> whatsoever.</p>\n\n<p>It might sound a little trivial, but gamers can be pretty sensitive to these kinds of mistakes.</p>\n\n<h2>How to Recognize an MMORPG</h2>\n\n<p>Breaking down the MMORPG genre to its core components - the MMO and the RPG. We’ve already covered what an MMO is, so let’s talk about what makes an RPG.</p>\n\n<p>RPG video games borrow a lot from their pen-and-paper ancestors. For example, they have the same level of character customization. Players can create and customize their characters, represented by a digital avatar.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"505\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/vcvK1oUszsA\" width=\"853\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>They can control pretty much anything, from their appearance, race, and sex to their profession and skills. As the game progresses, players have a chance to improve and evolve their adventurer, making them more and more unique and powerful.</p>\n\n<p>Most modern RPGs give the player not only control over their character, but over the world they inhabit. Players’ actions have a direct impact on how the story progresses, and how the world changes around them. It can simply happen by advancing the plot and seeing the story unfolds, but it can also be because of player choice.</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"/en/games/genre/rpg-games/\">The best RPGs</a> allow players to tackle problems and advance the plot in multiple ways, so each playstyle is respected.</p>\n\n<p>An elementary example would be getting past a guard that is guarding a door. The player can choose whether to distract the guard using magic, lie and pretend to be someone famous, or draw a sword and attack.</p>\n\n<p>There should be a different consequence to each of these choices - maybe you’ll get to meet the guard you deceived later on in the game - now out of work and begging on the street.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https://plarium.com/en/mobile-games/raid-shadow-legends/\"><img alt=\"Not all MMOs are MMORPGs\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/raid/backgrounds/section-2.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>Then you have all the technical stuff: quests, experience points, loot, skill, and combat. Each of these is tied directly to the core mechanics of character customization, player agency, and a rich narrative.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Take all of this, and put in an environment where dozens if not hundreds of players interact at the same time, and you got yourself an MMORPG.</strong></p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"After a while, differentiating between MMOs and MMORPGs becomes easy\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2018/week_4/mmo-mmorpg-3.jpg\" title=\"The key word in RPG and MMORPG games is agency\" /></p>\n\n<p>Hopefully, by now you know how to tell the difference between an MMO and an MMORPG.</p>\n\n<p>One important thing to remember - most MMORPGs don’t usually involve Rocket-Propelled Grenades. Unless, of course, you’re playing in a futuristic dystopia where magic has been replaced with high explosives, which are more or less the same thing, only way cooler.</p>\n","date":"1/10/2018"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2018/week_4/mmo-mmorpg-header.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"10758"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/jesper-kyd/"},"strings":{"title":"Jesper Kyd: Music Transcends All Platforms ","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"240000","description":"<p>Jesper Kyd is a critically acclaimed composer, whose love and fascination with music started when he was just a kid. He began playing the piano and the classic guitar, slowly sparking his passion for harmonies and melodies.</p>\n\n<p>His interest in music continued to grow, as he did. He got his first computer (a Commodore 64) at the age of 13, and started composing electronic music. By the age of 15, he owned his own keyboard, a Roland D-20 and continued composing music with all of his accoutrements.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"it's-all-about-the-feeling\">It's All About the Feeling</h2>\n\n<p>Jesper Kyd has many bands that he admires. Some of the most notable influences on his own composition styles include classical composers such as Ottorino Respighi and Igor Stravinsky. Other bands like Röyksopp and The Knife played a big part in helping him to create his own melodies.</p>\n\n<p>For Jesper, it's all about the feeling, and he admits to being drawn to the emotion of the music. The essentials of music are what make it so thoroughly enjoyable for him to work with. He finds inspiration in all of his projects – whatever they may be.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"jesper-kyd-and-gaming\">Jesper Kyd and Gaming</h2>\n\n<p>Kyd is particularly fond of the online gaming world – MMORTS games, television, film and the like. The inspiration that he derives from these types of projects is second to none. For him, music is all about being able to inspire ideas and creativity.</p>\n\n<p>He is of the opinion that music serves the same purpose in every game – regardless of genre or even the platform. For Jesper, music sets the mood and heightens the experience, by adding atmosphere and an immersive experience. Jesper knows from personal experience that players are more inclined to play the game for much longer when the music flirts with their emotions.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"an-immersive-experience\">An Immersive Experience</h3>\n\n<p>Kyd uses the classic example of playing a game with captivating music, and wanting to stay in the gaming world that much longer. It may well be that extra time that allows you to conjure up something new or to find what you’ve been looking for, while you’re immersed in playing and enjoying the game.</p>\n\n<p>This entire process is the same regardless of the game you're playing. Jesper Kyd typically works with the audio director, creative director or even the game director. Together they discuss precisely what the music needs to be doing, in conjunction with the overall game story and all the characters. Sometimes, Jesper is directly involved in the action and he decides how the music will be applied in the game. At other times, much of the musical score would have been sorted out already <em>before </em>he's even brought in to put it all together.</p>\n\n<p>In any event, Jesper Kyd loves being involved. And it's a pretty time-consuming process – anywhere from 3 months to 9 months to compile, all depending on how early he’s brought into the process. The volume of music that is required is also a big factor in determining how long it takes to put it all together. Jesper admits that it's not uncommon for him to write 3 hours of music for one project.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"always-striving-for-better\">Always Striving for Better</h2>\n\n<p>For Jesper Kyd, there is no real crowning achievement. Every project that he undertakes is in itself an opportunity to derive more knowledge. It also allows him to understand new ways of thinking, and pushing his musical prowess to the next level. He believes there is always room for improvement and by listening to his music, his creative juices develop and evolve further.</p>\n\n<p><cite>“I have grown in other areas of music-making and I feel that I can go back to that style and add something new.”</cite></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"jesper-kyd-and-assassin's-creed\">Jesper Kyd and Assassin's Creed</h2>\n\n<p>Despite Jesper's reluctance to call it a crowning achievement, his musical score on the first 4 Assassin’s Creed games were a remarkable achievement. He is delighted to know that the gaming community relishes the Ezio’s Family musical score and connect deeply with it. His music transcends the gaming world, and actually creates a bridge between the players and their in-game characters.</p>\n\n<p>Of the sound in Assassin’s Creed, he had this to say: <cite>“It seems there are now are really high expectations about the music in the Assassin’s Creed series… I feel good about having planted that seed.”</cite></p>\n\n<p>Jesper Kyd is not content to simply stagnate in any particular genre, leading him to eventually move to <em>social games</em>.</p>\n\n<p>No doubt Jesper will be working feverishly on all sorts of projects in the future. He maintains that it's all about working with creative people in a fun-filled environment, with lots of enthusiasm and energy.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align:center\"><span style=\"background-color:transparent; color:rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family:times new roman; font-size:16px\"><img alt=\"Jesper Kyd\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2014/07/Jesper-Kyd-Headshot.jpg\" style=\"height:300px; width:247px\" /></span></p>\n","date":"5/17/2015"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"","href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2014/08/jasper-kyd.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"273"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/hardcore-gamer/"},"strings":{"title":"Are You a Serious Gamer? 10 Telling Signs","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"120000","description":"<p dir=\"ltr\">Ever wondered what constitues being a hardcore gamer?

Video Game Music & Sound","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"240000","description":"<p>Gaming audio has evolved dramatically in recent years. Audio engineering, editing, mixing and modern game composition are held to the self-same standard. Oftentimes the same folks who create Hollywood blockbusters are involved in lending their talents to AAA titles. Guys like Hank Azaria, Liam Neeson, and Snoop Dog are some of the more well-known voice talents out there.</p>\n\n<p>Gaming is no longer the exclusive domain of nerds; it has evolved into a multi-billion-dollar industry. It's a fusion of artistry and blistering entertainment. The sound that goes into creating engaging social games includes high-end audio, quality vocals and awesome music. Some folks may even be anticipating Games of Thrones: Season 23 in the form of an interactive audio-visual entertainment masterpiece streaming on PS10s.</p>\n\n<h2><strong>Video Games Music is Ever-Evolving</strong></h2>\n\n<p>Social gaming has been hailed by some and dismissed by others. Some games even gained Grammy award nominations for their audio, including Heavy Rain, Assassin's Creed, Journey and Messy Effect. Social gaming is attempting to find a balance between profitability, gameplay and its place in the gaming world. There is no doubt that social gaming has exploded onto the scene, with mobile games and social games leading the pack.</p>\n\n<p>Audio has not featured prominently in what constitutes a good gaming experience. This begs the question: is audio really all that important when it comes to playing social games?</p>\n\n<p>Yes! Stellar video game sound provides players with top-tier, holistic experiences.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\"><strong>What's the Deal with Video Game Sound?</strong></h2>\n\n<p>Many gaming developers have not placed all that much emphasis on video game sound, and or music. Consider the fact that most players typically play for short amount of time, with multiple browser windows open simultaneously. A lot of players actually even have <em><strong>their own music</strong></em> playing in the background. Some mobile players turn their audio off, because they are in a public setting. Up until recently there have also been loads of technical limitations on what can be done with audio. For example, mobile and <a href=\"/en/games/platform/browser-games/\" style=\"text-decoration:none;\" title=\"Browser Games\"><u>browser games</u></a> have to work within very narrow parameters in terms of bandwidth, hardware requirements, and storage capacity if they’re going to work on all devices and computers. If players are forced to choose between audio and graphics, the latter always wins out.</p>\n\n<p>This may have sufficed for many social games, but players are becoming more demanding. Players expect high octane entertainment, and an all-round audio-visual experience. Technology is catching up too; limitations are few and far between. Broadband is quicker, hence it processing power is increasing and people with broadband connections are everywhere. Now is the time to re-examine the role of video games sound!</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Superior Sound for Video Games</strong></h2>\n\n<p>Social gaming is quickly bridging the gap between traditional platform offerings, and it's important to revisit the sound issue. This is no small undertaking. It doesn't always start great, and certainly is not always ground-breaking, but it is <em>always </em>important, for any game and its evolution.</p>\n\n<p>The goal should always be to create and deliver an immersive experience to players. Audio makes it relativlely easy to add content; much easier than in-game animation or CGI cinematics. </p>\n\n<h2><strong>How to Create Epic Video Game Music</strong></h2>\n\n<p>One of the most important aspects of video game sound, is <em><strong>video game music</strong></em>. As part of the holistic approach to gaming, video game music has great importance in games (think of Super Mario's theme, for example). Video game music can immediately associate a game to a theme, or vice versa. In order to do so, game developers should, and very often do, cooperate with composers who can take a vision and make it reality. This is done by merging the actual musical art, together with the game in question. </p>\n\n<p>Due to the importance and popularity of music in video games, composers very often specialize in the field of video games. In return, developers spend huge amounts of budget on sound, to make it unique, polished and easily memorable.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Summing Up</strong></h2>\n\n<p>Does great audio make a difference? Absolutely! Not only does it complete a game as an audio-visual experience, but it can stick with a player for, literally, years. Just like the example of the Super Mario theme, there are plenty more, such as Monkey Island and Legend of Zelda, to name a few.</p>\n\n<p>As technology is continuously improving, video games' music and sound only get better day after day. Video gaming is the new frontier, and players expect a complete audio-visual package.

As of 2020, global gaming revenue increased <em>20%</em> to $179.7 billion, <a href=\"https://www.marketwatch.com/story/videogames-are-a-bigger-industry-than-sports-and-movies-combined-thanks-to-the-pandemic-11608654990\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">according to IDC</a>. That makes the industry more lucrative than American movies and sports combined. Wrapped up within this surge of activity was a<em> 24%</em> uptick in mobile gaming.</p>\n\n<p>For anyone with an eye on recent gaming trends, mobiles have been the standout performers in recent years. 2020 proved that fact once again as more than 2.5 billion people used their mobiles to play games. <a href=\"/en/games/genre/puzzle-games/\">Puzzles</a> were the most popular, followed by <a href=\"/en/games/genre/rpg-games/\">RPG</a> and arcade games.</p>\n\n<p>Of course, <a href=\"/en/games/platform/mobile-games/\">mobile gaming</a> trends go beyond these types of games. However, it’s interesting to see how this subsector of the industry has grown in recent years.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>Moreover, it’s confirmation that gaming trends that were once touted as “the future” have fulfilled their promise. Indeed, for anyone that sees <a href=\"/en/blog/vr-tech-future-of-virtual-reality/\">virtual reality (VR)</a> as one of the latest trends in gaming, this is encouraging.</p>\n\n<p>Like mobile gaming, VR has been lauded as one of the top video game trends in recent years. It hasn’t fully broken through yet, but the omens are positive.</p>\n\n<p>Although many innovations often fall flat, some survive the test of time and reshape the industry. Mobile gaming did and VR may do the same. The question, however, is what other trends in the gaming industry have the potential to flourish?</p>\n\n<p>This article will highlight some of the top gaming trends in 2021 and highlight a few ideas that could <em>redefine </em>the future of the industry.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"the-latest-gaming-trends\">The Latest Gaming Trends</h2>\n\n<p>Gaming trends in 2021 are, by and large, focused on one thing: immersion. VR is leading the way, but there are other gaming trends aimed at making products more engaging and accessible to players of all persuasions.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"virtual-reality-and-augmented-reality\">Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality</h3>\n\n<p>The combined might of VR and augmented reality (AR) is forecast to be worth $58.7 million by 2022, <a href=\"https://www.statista.com/statistics/591181/global-augmented-virtual-reality-market-size/#:~:text=The%20global%20augmented%20reality%20(AR,percent%20over%20spending%20in%202019.\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">according to Statista data</a>. Of the two, VR is most likely to change the gaming industry. Oculus Rift and other headsets are gradually becoming less cumbersome and more immersive.</p>\n\n<p>This, in tandem with add-ons, such as haptic feedback gloves like HapticX, is making virtual worlds come to life.</p>\n\n<p>The release of Pokémon Go had gamers thinking that AR may become the dominant force. However, it’s looking likely that AR will become more prominent in advertising and other forms of entertainment. Although virtual overlays and the merging of real and digital is exciting, it isn’t quite right for gaming (at this point).</p>\n\n<p>Thus, in this respect, AR could be seen as one of those highly touted gaming trends that never fulfilled its potential.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h3 id=\"streaming-and-entertainment\">Streaming and Entertainment</h3>\n\n<p>Another of the successful trends in gaming that play into the narrative of inclusion and accessibility is streaming. In February 2021, Twitch had an average of 2.9 million concurrent viewers.</p>\n\n<p>This is thanks to content from more than 7 million streamers and over <a href=\"https://www.twitch.tv/p/press-center/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">30 million daily visitors</a>. Adding to the ever-growing body of streaming content out there, platforms such as YouTube and HitBox are turning gaming into mainstream entertainment.</p>\n\n<p>What’s most interesting about this gaming trend is that it’s now being monetized. Although the top streamers have been earning money for a few years, big brands are jumping on the bandwagon. As well as sponsoring streamers, they’re now hosting their own channels.</p>\n\n<p>As such, Twitch et al are being used to advertise new products and the latest trends in gaming industry sectors.  </p>\n\n<h3 id=\"artificial-intelligence\">Artificial Intelligence</h3>\n\n<p>One of the gaming trends that’s most likely to shape the industry is artificial intelligence (AI). The technology is embryonic at this stage - but - among the gaming trends in 2021 to look out for, it’s right up there as the <em>most </em>promising.</p>\n\n<p>The main way AI is transforming video games and making them more immersive is through <a href=\"/en/blog/npc-non-player-character/\">non-player characters (NPCs)</a>. The concept of AI-powered interactive experiences means that NPCs can act and react intelligently. In other words, these characters can adapt to a player’s actions, learn, and present new scenarios, much like real life.</p>\n\n<p>Another area in which AI has the potential to change gaming is design. Although AI systems can’t create games from scratch, they are capable of designing simple assets. This frees up the developers to focus on the main elements of a game. The end result, in theory, is a better overall product.</p>\n\n<p>Of course, this isn’t a guarantee. If developers can spend more time on their characters and the storyline, however, they have the potential to make experiences more enjoyable. Moreover, they have a better chance of getting the most from current gaming trends and piquing the interests of players.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"data-analytics-and-modelling-future-gaming-trends\">Data Analytics and Modelling Future Gaming Trends</h3>\n\n<p>The final way AI could change the industry is data analytics. These systems have the power to process data and, importantly, learn from it. This can help companies spot gaming trends as they’re developing and react accordingly.</p>\n\n<p>Data analytics has always had a place in the industry. However, with AI, it’s possible to delve deeper into the stats and model potential outcomes. If developers can spot gaming trends before they develop and model their potential success, it can help them cut away the fat. This, in turn, means there will be more great games and less fluff.</p>\n\n<p>Again, this is somewhat theoretical. AI can help provide insights and predictions but, as everyone knows, nothing is ever guaranteed. Certain trends in the gaming industry, like the Nintendo Switch, looked poised to become the next big thing but fell short. Other gaming trends that didn’t seem to have any potential suddenly became a hit.</p>\n\n<p>Therefore, while it’s possible to analyze more data, the future is never set in stone. That, of course, is what makes the industry exciting. You never really know which gaming trends are going to take hold. The one thing that’s clear right now is that video games are becoming more immersive and more intelligent.</p>\n\n<p>That, in turn, has the potential to make everything even more exciting in the coming years. So, if you’re looking for future gaming trends, make sure you focus on those that aim to make experiences more engaging!</p>\n","date":"5/17/2015"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"","href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2014/07/the-hottest-trends-in-social-gaming.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"268"}}],"listArticles":[{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/tv-shows-video-games/"},"strings":{"title":"TV Shows Based on Video Games – The Ultimate Guide"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"What TV shows are based on video games?","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/tv-shows-games-1.webp"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"16286"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/top-casual-games/"},"strings":{"title":"10 of the Best Casual Games to Try in 2023"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"The top 10 casual games of 2023","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/casual-games-1.webp"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"16219"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/top-castle-games/"},"strings":{"title":"Five of the Best: Top Castle Games for 2023"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"Check out the top Castle Games!","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/castle-games-1.webp"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"16214"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/windows-games-on-mac/"},"strings":{"title":"How to Play Windows Games on Mac: A Complete Guide"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"How to play Windows games on Mac","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/windows-games-mac-1.webp"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"16213"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/best-puzzle-games/"},"strings":{"title":"The Best Puzzle Games for Adults in 2023"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"The 15 best puzzle games to play in 2023!","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/puzzle-games-1.webp"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"16206"}}]},"components":{}}},{"name":"widget-articles-aside-promoted-game-v3","type":"widget-articles-aside-promoted-game-v3","model":{"links":{"url":"/en/plarium-play/download-user/?plid=885739&pxl=seo&appId=27","urlForGamePage":"/en/game/raid-shadow-legends/","googlePlayUrl":"https://app.appsflyer.com/com.plarium.raidlegends?pid=SEO&c=749089","appStoreUrl":"https://app.appsflyer.com/id1371565796?pid=SEO&c=749088&af_siteid=HomePage"},"strings":{"title":"RAID: Shadow Legends","subtitle":"Collect 700+ Champions & Fight For Glory","label":"Download","analyticsGameName":"raid"},"images":{"promoImg":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/plarium-play/games/Raid/promo.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"authGameTheme":"default","isRedirectDownload":"true"},"repeaters":{},"components":{}}},{"name":"widget-articles-subscribe-v3","type":"widget-articles-subscribe-v3","model":{"links":{},"strings":{"title":"Subscribe to the Blog","errorInvalid":"Invalid email address.
