For some reason, MMO players are always assigned negative stereotypes by non-MMO players, even more so than other gamers who don’t play <a href=\"//plarium.com/en/mmo-games/\">MMOs</a>.</p>\n\n<p>However, according to recent surveys, that random person is wrong. Well, mostly wrong, but still wrong.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>Myth #1: MMO players are all male</h2>\n\n<p>While most MMO players are indeed male, there is still a significant number of female players who we can’t just ignore. Based on relatively recent information, only 60% of players are male. A few years prior to that, around 85% of them were males, so you can see the number of females in MMOs just keeps growing as time passes. I wouldn’t be surprised if in a few years at least half of all MMO gamers are women.</p>\n\n<h2>Myth #2: Only kids and teenagers play MMOs</h2>\n\n<p>This is simply not true. The average age of an MMO player is 26. In fact, only about 25% of all MMO gamers can be considered teenagers between the ages of 12 and 17. The other 75% are older, and most of them are between 23 and 28. It’s interesting to note that, on average, female players are older than their male counterparts. 27% of all female players are over the age of 35, as opposed to 13% of males.</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/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><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>Myth #3: Only single people play MMOs</h2>\n\n<p>Why would you think that? 36% of MMO player are either married or engaged to be married. It’s true that most male players are indeed single, further feeding that “single male” stereotype. Females, on the other hand, mostly fall into the married column.</p>\n\n<p>It is often theorized that this is because many of them are introduced to MMOs by their significant other, but we prefer not to speculate. Bear in mind - these 36% do not include players who are currently in a relationship but are simply not married/engaged. In reality, the number of “non-singles” is quite higher than 36%.</p>\n\n<h2>Myth #4: Most people who play MMOs are unemployed</h2>\n\n<p>Yet another incorrect assumption. Not all MMOs are Free-to-play, and even those that are often encourage gamers to invest some money in one way or another. 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<h2>Myth #5: MMO players spend an unhealthy amount of hours playing</h2>\n\n<p>Well, that depends on what one considers an “unhealthy amount of hours”. The average gamer spends about 21 hours a week playing MMOs and 7.7 weekly hours watching TV. In comparison, the average non-gamer American spends 28 hours watching TV each week. Does that mean MMO gamers are about as healthy as your average American? It’s hard to say, really.</p>\n\n<p>After reviewing the facts, you’ll notice that the random person on the street doesn’t really know what they are talking about. The truth is there’s no “typical MMO gamer”. The MMO gaming community is as diverse as they come, ranging from young high school students, to firefighters in their mid 50s, to retired project managers. However, every one of them has one thing in common: they are all here to enjoy the rich and fun experiences MMOs can provide.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"bottom\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_Team_B74910_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSU.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n","date":"3/2/2016"},"images":{"preview":{"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":"Creating Game Settings with top-notch Graphics","category":"Plarium- Behind the Scenes","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"600000","description":"<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Image from Pirates: Tides of Fortune\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings1.jpg\" style=\"height:450px; width:800px\" title=\"Image from Pirates: Tides of Fortune\" /></p>\n\n<p>From the outset, we have talked about the importance of graphics in gaming. What we are about to demonstrate in this article has less to do with the quality of in-game graphics, and more to do with the impact graphics have on player psychology.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>Using Color Scale & Lighting to Set the Stage</h2>\n\n<p>In cinema, filters and color scale are widely used to identify the tone and genre of a film – they give it an individual identity.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Colors from popular TV-Shows\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings2.jpg\" style=\"height:600px; width:590px\" title=\"Colors from popular TV-Shows\" /></p>\n\n<p>In the gaming world, this very color scale is what sets the tone for the action to follow. It deeply impacts the way we react to the game and resonates with our innermost emotions. The color scale is wholly dependent on the setting we are trying to create, in addition to the genre of the game and the storyline.</p>\n\n<p>Color and emotions are intertwined, as is evident with how specific themes use color to strike a chord with the way we respond to the game. Consider for a moment the impact that certain color configurations have on our moods. Red 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 colors. 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 style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Variations of red\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings3.jpg\" style=\"height:450px; width:800px\" title=\"Variations of red\" /></p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Monsters\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings4.jpg\" style=\"height:450px; width:800px\" title=\"Monsters\" /></p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"The color schemes depends on the setting\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings5.jpg\" style=\"height:450px; width:800px\" title=\"The color schemes depends on the setting\" /></p>\n\n<p>Yellow is a particularly interesting color in the gaming world, and is often indicative of foulness, infection and sickness. Consider the game Pathologic, which makes widespread use of the color yellow throughout its gritty scenes.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Yellow can indicate foulness, infection and sickness\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings6.jpg\" style=\"height:450px; width:800px\" title=\"Yellow can indicate foulness, infection and sickness\" /></p>\n\n<p>Now, draw your attention to different shades of blue and how they affect your mood. Cloudy, murky, dusky blues are also unnerving. They instill a feeling of dread and foreboding, and are often used in 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<p><img alt=\"Blue: Dread and foreboding\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings7.jpg\" style=\"height:450px; width:800px\" title=\"Blue: Dread and foreboding\" /></p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"The colors instantly affects our mood\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings8.jpg\" style=\"height:450px; width:800px\" title=\"The colors instantly affects our mood\" /></p>\n\n<p>Throughout the evolution of films and games, our minds have associated certain graphics and colors with the stereotypes we have listed above. This has allowed game developers and filmmakers to set the mood by using graphics to maximum effect. The perfect setting can be created by blending the right colors together to create the ultimate gaming experience.</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/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><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<p>Here at Plarium, our <a href=\"//plarium.com/en/strategy-games/\">strategy-based games</a> have been put through rigorous testing to consider player perception and settings. Consider one of our most popular MMORPG games – <a href=\"//plarium.com/en/strategy-games/total-domination/\">Total Domination</a>. This post-apocalyptic action thriller, reminiscent of Fallout, also has elements of science fiction throughout. The barren wasteland is brought to life in dismal shades of brown and orange. This creates a feeling of barrenness, desolation and ruin. Alongside that, Total Domination juxtaposes high-tech firepower, machinery and equipment into the game in order to strike the perfect balance.</p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"The wasteland of Total Domination\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings9.jpg\" style=\"height:520px; width:800px\" title=\"The wasteland of Total Domination\" /></p>\n\n<h2>Introducing Interface Style</h2>\n\n<p>Interface creation in modern times has tended from the highly complex to the comparatively simple. This is easily seen in the way in which games are developed today.</p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"Plariums Interface Creation\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings10.jpg\" style=\"height:450px; width:800px\" title=\"Plariums Interface Creation\" /></p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"Developing characters\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings11.jpg\" style=\"height:472px; width:800px\" title=\"Developing characters\" /></p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"A monster is born\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings12.jpg\" style=\"height:450px; width:800px\" title=\"A monster is born\" /></p>\n\n<p>When you're playing mobile games or social games, you will frequently be interacting 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. The goal is always 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 are constantly juggling myriad elements to try and keep players entertained, engaged and wanting more. Each of the in-game elements must serve a specific purpose while retaining the loyalty of players, challenging players at every opportunity, and creating a sense of community.</p>\n\n<p>The manner in which pop-up windows are showcased will allow game creators to emphasise specific details necessary for players to proceed through the game. The specific designs that are used for these pop-up windows also relay certain messages to players. Sharp corners and the use of blades, swords, axes, and other weapons portray aggression. These types of symbols and designs are ideally suited to battle-ready warrior games.</p>\n\n<p>By contrast rounded features 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>The Plarium blockbuster MMO game <a href=\"//plarium.com/en/strategy-games/sparta-war-of-empires/\">Sparta: War of Empires</a> utilizes design elements indicative of that period in history. These include flags, helmets, shields, swords, columns, and Greek letters.</p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"Sparta: War of Empires\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings13.jpg\" style=\"height:472px; width:800px\" title=\"Sparta: War of Empires\" /></p>\n\n<p>Certain player expectations are inherent in a typical color scale. For example Red signifies no and Green signifies yes. Other in-game possibilities are also represented by Red and Green such as defeat and victory, rejection or acceptance.</p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"Red signifies no and Green signifies yes\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings14.jpg\" style=\"height:510px; width:800px\" title=\"Red signifies no and Green signifies yes\" /></p>\n\n<h2>Backgrounds & Locations</h2>\n\n<p>Setting typically refers to the scene of the game in the Western industry. Setting the scene is a vital component of the game as it determines whether or not the player is absorbed into the gaming world. Failure to create the ultimate immersive user interface will result in a mediocre or unappealing setting. Player attitudes and perceptions quickly sour when the backgrounds and locations of games do not meet their expectations.</p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"Backgrounds\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings15.jpg\" style=\"height:450px; width:800px\" title=\"Backgrounds\" /></p>\n\n<p>Location is especially important when you're trying to create a certain feel for the player. Mass Effect players will instantly recognize the location in this picture – the SSV Normandy. The intricate details in the image reveal a level of personalization within the environment, allowing players to identify with the main character. During the 1990s, gaming developers were unable to specify locations by adding interactive elements in the game.</p>\n\n<p>Today, anything is possible in the world of gaming and individualized locations, unique settings and a high degree of immersion are the norm. These elements resonate with players on an emotional level, and provide us with an in-depth perspective on who the main character is.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Creating the main character \" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings16.jpg\" style=\"height:450px; width:800px\" /></p>\n\n<p>By designing the background with attention to detail, players are drawn into the world of the characters they are interacting with in the game. The background design boosts the level of realism in the game and makes it that much more engaging to players.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"The background design boosts the level of realism\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings17.jpg\" style=\"height:450px; width:800px\" title=\"The background design boosts the level of realism\" /></p>\n\n<p>Another aspect of social and mobile games that you will notice is that of marginalization. Simply put, this is the area of the screen that your attention is being drawn to. In Sparta: War of Empires, Plarium’s graphic designers upturned convention by moving away from traditional square concepts by expanding the area of interaction. Take a look at the image below which shows you how we have added curves and rounded features to the streets. The overall appearance of the scene is a 3D interactive milieu where the city is clearly divided up into multiple levels. The Player’s Polis is buttressed on the one side by the mountain and bordered on the other by the sea.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Sparta 3D interactive milieu\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings18.jpg\" style=\"height:450px; width:800px\" title=\"Sparta 3D interactive milieu\" /></p>\n\n<p>Another engaging element which we have implemented into our games is that of animated backgrounds. Take a look at our Soldiers Inc. MMO game that adds animation to the scene and creates the impression of ongoing activity within the gaming environment.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Soldiers Inc. game setting\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings19.jpg\" style=\"height:450px; width:800px\" /></p>\n\n<p>Look at the structure, style, and color configurations of buildings and tenements in games. These form part of the location aspect of the game and it is this aspect that makes for an authentic setting. One such game – The Walking Dead –by TellTale Games is reflective of such rationale.</p>\n\n<p>The background really sets the scene, and as you make your way through the game, it becomes apparent how the decrepit buildings and the abandoned feel of the place is conducive to the actual game. As the characters’ moods darken, the background takes on a similar ominous undertone and supports the devolving mood of the game.</p>\n\n<p>On the flipside, locations that do not appear to gel with the setting of the game as part of the broader gaming universe are also there for a reason. These types of environments are incorporated for the purposes of plot twists and surprise elements in the game.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"The Walking Dead\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings20.jpg\" style=\"height:450px; width:800px\" title=\"The Walking Dead\" /></p>\n\n<p>Take a look at the in-game background details below. You will notice that there appears to be a violation of the basic laws of physics. When this is done intentionally, it is done for satirical purposes. It would be foolhardy to violate the laws of physics for no apparent reason.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Violation of the basic laws of physics for satirical purposes\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings21.jpg\" style=\"height:450px; width:800px\" title=\"Violation of the basic laws of physics for satirical purposes\" /></p>\n\n<p>This brings us to another important component of setting the scene: authenticity. The degree to which game developers seek to create a genuine environment is an integral component of the overall setting. In the case of Sparta: War of Empires, the Hellenic sculptures, columns and statues are white – not painted like they were at the time they were made. Players identify with the white marble structures visible in the game, and would probably frown upon painted sculptures and statues that really existed at that time.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Authenticity is an important factor for success\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings22.jpg\" style=\"height:450px; width:800px\" title=\"Authenticity is an important factor for success\" /></p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"From image to sketch\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings23.jpg\" style=\"height:450px; width:800px\" title=\"From image to sketch\" /></p>\n\n<p>A character's appearance is the best possible way to arouse certain emotions in a player. A character who displays fear, dread or tension will instill certain emotions within players to make them want to help and assuage that character. The player projects an image of himself/herself onto the antagonist or protagonist in the game. We then act on our emotions accordingly. One of the ways that games try to shape our emotions, and therefore our actions is by way of banner advertisements. A damsel in distress is the perfect example of a game seeking a knight in shining armor!</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"A character's appearance is the best possible way to arouse emotions\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings24.jpg\" style=\"height:600px; width:800px\" title=\"A character's appearance is the best possible way to arouse emotions\" /></p>\n\n<p>The importance of text cannot be understated: Text helps to understand in-game assets such as defenses and weapons. In this vein, rigorous testing, development and matching needs to come into play to ensure that there is synergy between what the character is wearing and using and functionality issues. It should also gel with the overarching ideas in the game.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"The importance of text cannot be understated\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings25.jpg\" style=\"height:500px; width:800px\" title=\"The importance of text cannot be understated\" /></p>\n\n<p>Throughout the development of locations, settings and environments, game developers can never take their fingers off the pulse of the target audience. A great example of catering to a specific audience is World of Tanks. This game has at its core an older generation of males who have a deep appreciation and interest in history. Authenticity and attention to detail are absolute requirements and historians may be required to add invaluable input.</p>\n\n<p>The strategy-based MMO game by Plarium – <a href=\"//plarium.com/en/strategy-games/soldiers-inc/\">Soldiers Inc</a>. has been translated into seven languages. What is interesting about this game is that the combat weapons of each specific country are accurate. This sci-fi game takes place at a future time, in a fictional country, but players from real countries can identify with the weapons capabilities available in their home countries.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Soldiers Inc. - Translated to 7 languages\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings26.jpg\" style=\"height:450px; width:800px\" title=\"Soldiers Inc. - Translated to 7 languages\" /></p>\n\n<p>When a player first starts playing a game, in-depth analysis is not a priority. Rather, the player focuses on the combat system and the mechanics of the game. As the player advances through the game, context becomes important. All sorts of exploratory research, understanding and analysis then takes place. Players will seek out elements hidden within the graphics, tips, puzzles, etc. Within the game, a character's appearance will reflect emotions based on these new findings. This further adds to the level of engagement that players have with the character within the game setting.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Gaming - all about interaction\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings27.jpg\" style=\"height:450px; width:800px\" title=\"Gaming - all about interaction\" /></p>\n\n<p>Gaming is all about interaction, immersion, and emotional connection. One way that gaming developers do this is by use of graphics. The ideal setting, background, location, and game milieu can be created with top-tier graphics.</p>\n\n<p>Modern-day indie games make use of plot, music, and pictures to draw players into the fold. And the best part is they can do this with a negligible budget. In our next Plarium behind-the-scenes look into gameplay, we will analyze the impact of video effects and audio!</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"bottom\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_Team_B74910_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSU.jpg\" /></a></p>\n","date":"2/9/2016"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2014/07/power-behind-games-at-plarium.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"11040"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/game-trailers/"},"strings":{"title":"A Peek Behind the Scenes of Game Trailers","category":"Plarium- Behind the Scenes","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"420000","description":"<p>Upcoming releases of video games are heavily dependent on the quality of game trailers, and it stands to reason that they can easily <em>make or break</em> a new game.

They should provide a window into the game world and also a feel of precisely what the player should expect once they begin playing. In a world with an overwhelming focus on social media connectivity, game trailers should be lots of fun to watch and easily shareable.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Plarium Game Trailers\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Making_A_Game_Trailer_Plarium_1.png\" style=\"height:438px; width:800px\" title=\"Plarium Game Trailers\" /></p>\n\n<p>We put <em>a lot </em>of emphasis into game trailers here at Plarium. The good news is that they work exceptionally well for <a href=\"/en/games/genre/strategy-games/\">strategy games</a> across a wide range of social networks, <a href=\"/en/games/platform/mobile-games/\">mobile platforms</a> and <a href=\"/en/games/platform/browser-games/\">browsers</a>. Get ready for our in-depth expose into how our talented Visual FX team went about creating the <a href=\"/en/game/total-domination/\">Total Domination</a> Trailer, and all of the lessons that we've managed to learn during the process.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>Getting the Ball Rolling</h2>\n\n<p>With Total Domination, one of the primary challenges we were met with when attempting to create a cinematic game trailer was the lack of human resources. When we got started, we really didn't have a dedicated cinematic team, so it was necessary for us to put one together. We were in need of more VFX artists, animators and 3D artists.</p>\n\n<p>Fortunately, we actually had a VFX artist from the get go, and several of our team members were recruited internally directly from our Art Department. As for the rest, we outsourced them, including music and sound – since we had no internal resources for these recruitments.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Vyacheslav Lisovsky\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Making_A_Game_Trailer_Plarium_2.jpg\" style=\"height:250px; width:375px\" title=\"Vyacheslav Lisovsky\" /></p>\n\n<p>As soon as everything was in place, the team began to focus on quality. Even with limited staff, the visual FX team was not prepared to compromise on quality. We simply needed to go toe to toe with the very best of what world-class VFX teams are capable of doing.</p>\n\n<p>The first step in the process is a concept outline. This typically includes the overarching goals of the video, the script and the main concept. These elements are to be put into place to ensure that the same vision is shared. Next up, a rough storyboard, replete with scenes needs to be created. During this stage of proceedings, it's important to define precisely what each shot will encompass. We define shots with animatic sketches – these are the underdeveloped fragments that mark each of the shots. </p>\n\n<h3>Drafting a Game Trailer</h3>\n\n<p>Remember that the actual animatic is still a long ways off, and it can take scores of iterations, plenty of research into shots and angles, and a highly technical synergistic approach to completing the project.</p>\n\n<p>During this stage of the game, it's really important to stress that creative carte blanche needs to be fostered. Generate lots of ideas during the concept phase, and consider all viable suggestions. Our arts director and producer – Dima Volovikov - rejected outright the idea of opting for a cheaper route. In fact, he went as far as raising the bar even higher in respect of difficult shots.</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/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><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>Video Game Trailer Tools</h2>\n\n<p>Plarium animated <em>everything </em>in Total Domination, in 3D Max and Maya. Here’s how the pipeline was distributed: most of the animation and the composition was done in Maya; the shading, lighting and VFX were done in 3D Max.  We have a highly talented art department at Plarium and we’ve got plenty of concept artists.</p>\n\n<p>Our VFX team had access to copious amounts of ready-made models and graphic content, making the process that much more efficient. Remember that some of the models we had needed extra work done on them, while others were made exclusively for cinematic purposes – the large robot and the scorpion are cases in point.</p>\n\n<h3>The Challenges of Creating a Game Trailer</h3>\n\n<p>It does get kind of tricky using different software and media. As an example of this, consider Warp animation from Maya & Max and then using rendering for seamless VFXs. Throughout, the production needs to look right, and the slow-mo parts need to be rendered in 96 frames per second for correct composition. The next step involved exporting the time-warping curve to Nuke. Every crucial slow-down data was put into place for Time Warp in Nuke for this cinematic video game trailer.</p>\n\n<p>As for shadows, fragmentation and silhouettes, the Plarium design team used 3D Studio Max for character splitting. For fragmentation, we used the Voronoi algorithm. Naturally, it's important to optimise the geometrics of the characters and the video, and we removed the fine details that didn't change the silhouette of the model. The demolition of the building that you can see in the video was actually made using RBD dynamics – RayFire.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"RBD dynamics – RayFire\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Making_A_Game_Trailer_Plarium_3.jpg\" style=\"height:417px; width:800px\" title=\"RBD dynamics – RayFire\" /></p>\n\n<p>In terms of time taken, our Visual FX team required approximately 4 months to produce the Total Domination video – that excludes the 2 months spent putting a top team together. Viewed in perspective, it's important to know that if you're looking for an awesome result, you will have to work with your development teams and your marketing teams and start procuring the assets that are needed at least 30 days ahead of time.</p>\n\n<h2>Final Results and Takeaways</h2>\n\n<p>Hindsight is always 20/20, but as we reflect on what we have done, we know that we should have allocated substantially more resources and time for preproduction. This is especially true when it comes to sketches, concept art and storyboards. If you don't have these types of materials handy – and finalized – there is a great deal of creative confusion that arises within your team. Unity and clarity of creative strategy is important.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"4 color schemes\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Making_A_Game_Trailer_Plarium_4.jpg\" style=\"height:510px; width:800px\" title=\"4 color schemes\" /></p>\n\n<p>If we were tasked with creating a new cinematic, we would likely have chosen a unified color scheme. By doing this, we would have saved a tremendous amount of time, since it would have required significantly less modelling work for the final video. In our particular project, we made use of 4 color schemes, and it provided plenty of challenges for us. We have learned however that it is possible to create something equally as impressive, but significantly more manageable in our future projects.</p>\n\n<p>Our learning curve extended well beyond color schemes to sound effects, sound design and scoring. Recall that we only began work on the sound – and the music – at the conclusion of our project. We waited almost until the very end. The result of this was that our project completion date was pushed back further and we ended up losing lots of time with our SFX and music.</p>\n\n<h3>The Devil is in the Details</h3>\n\n<p>In the music and sound department, we worked with phenomenal talents including the renowned <a href=\"/en/blog/jesper-kyd/\">Jesper Kyd</a>. We owe special thanks to Andrew at Wabi Sabi Studios as he created precisely what we are looking for in the SFX arena. Suffice it to say, we could have saved a lot of time and hassle by having everyone on the same page from inception of the project. </p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Total Domination Game Trailer\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Making_A_Game_Trailer_Plarium_5.png\" style=\"height:440px; width:800px\" title=\"Total Domination Game Trailer\" /></p>\n\n<p>Viacheslav Lisovsky (rigging, direction, animation and lead at Plarium Games) had the following to say about the Game Trailer for Total Domination:</p>\n\n<p><em>\"Overall, we're quite happy with the end result of our work, but we're now starting to realize some of the mistakes we made in the process… Going forward, we can speed up the processes, by planning and organizing the pipeline in a far more effective way. That being said, the most important aspect of making a cinematic trailer is the experience that all the team members gained during the process…\"</em></p>\n\n<p>The one takeaway we can provide you with is the following: even if you do everything according to best practice methodology, eventualities will always arise that will test your problem-solving abilities to the max. That's why it's important to always think out of the box!</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"bottom\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_Team_B74910_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSU.jpg\" /></a></p>\n","date":"1/3/2016"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/05/TD_905x301_Behind_The_Scenes.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"10923"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/sign-art/"},"strings":{"title":"How to Create Magic Sign Art","category":"Plarium- Behind the Scenes","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"240000","description":"<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Sergey Samarskiy\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/magic_sign_art_work1.jpg\" style=\"height:433px; width:650px\" title=\"Sergey Samarskiy\" /></p>\n\n<p>Greetings everyone!

Zelazny just before the Mage Tower contest. This fantasy series is a fountain of inspiration for me, notably the Merlin Cycle. I conjured up an image of a mage by utilizing a sign as the source of inspiration and power in my mind’s eye.</p>\n\n<h2>The Quest Begins…</h2>\n\n<p>It doesn't matter whether your project is personal or business-oriented. In either case, you will need to find reliable references as your number one step. For me, I like to work backwards from the vision to the reality. At this point in time I was in the preproduction stage of development. My task was simple: collect as much quality artwork from the Internet as possible.</p>\n\n<p>A well of inspiration for me was the famed illustrator – Michael Komarck. Feel free to take a look at <a href=\"http://komarckart.com/\" target=\"_blank\">his website</a> to see exactly how inspiring a character this fellow really is. Another top-quality reference that I used was the fantasy card game – Magic the Gathering.<br />\nI kept these sources of inspiration in a separate file so that I can preserve all the necessary information. I use Photoshop with these images for easy access and referencing purposes.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:right\"><img alt=\"Inspiration\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/magic_sign_art_work2.jpg\" style=\"height:863px; width:628px\" title=\"Inspiration\" /></p>\n\n<p>This collection of artwork is a great source of inspiration for me to choose the ideas and styles of my new projects.</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/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><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>Starting with sketches…</h2>\n\n<p>With my artwork in folders, the next step is sketching miniatures. Sketches are a terrific way for me to have a general concept of the character without too much detail. This is still in a raw form, but it serves as a reference point for all the work to follow.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Sketching\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/magic_sign_art_work3.jpg\" style=\"height:277px; width:500px\" title=\"Sketching\" /></p>\n\n<p>As you can see, I sketched several miniatures and then selected the one that I like the most. This will be my starting point.</p>\n\n<h2>Picking a Photo …</h2>\n\n<p>With this sketch in hand, the next piece of the puzzle is finding references for the weapons, posture, clothing and style that I am looking for. Regarding posture, I didn't use the Internet for any of my photos searches. I referenced this myself, with the help of many different photos in my inventory.</p>\n\n<p>I like realism in the clothing without too much intricate detail. As my starting point, I used photographs of costumes from the Lord of the Rings, different types of medieval clothing designs and other forms of artwork.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Clothing and weapons\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/magic_sign_art_work4.jpg\" style=\"height:918px; width:538px\" title=\"Clothing and weapons\" /></p>\n\n<h2>The Drawing…</h2>\n\n<p>Now that I had all this information at my fingertips, I began working in earnest. While looking at the posture in the photograph, I completed a rough sketch of the image.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"The Drawing\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/magic_sign_art_work5.jpg\" style=\"height:452px; width:650px\" title=\"The Drawing\" /></p>\n\n<p>Next up, I added plenty of detail as you can see in the costume design – all in black & white.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Costume Design\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/magic_sign_art_work6.jpg\" style=\"height:452px; width:650px\" title=\"Costume Design\" /></p>\n\n<p>Painting comes next. My preferred choice is a simple method using layers with Overlay.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Now with colors\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/magic_sign_art_work7.jpg\" style=\"height:448px; width:650px\" title=\"Now with colors\" /></p>\n\n<p>Once the right colors have been applied, I can make the necessary corrections and hone in on the details.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Final Touches\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/magic_sign_art_work8.jpg\" style=\"height:448px; width:650px\" title=\"Final Touches\" /></p>\n\n<p>This whole process continues until I’m 100% satisfied with the end result.</p>\n\n<h2>The Tower</h2>\n\n<p>Once the mage is done, my next step is to begin work on the tower. In much the same manner as I listed above, it is important to collect as many useful references as possible to get an idea of the end picture. Since I required realism in my image, I opted for an existing structure as my point of reference.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Tower Inspiration\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/magic_sign_art_work9.jpg\" style=\"height:720px; width:628px\" title=\"Tower Inspiration\" /></p>\n\n<p>This is where it gets interesting: I modified Durham Cathedral to add a splash of fantasy. It is important to recreate the tower shape, structure and style so that it fits the requirements of the artwork.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Adding Fantasy\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/magic_sign_art_work10.jpg\" style=\"height:568px; width:497px\" title=\"Adding Fantasy\" /></p>\n\n<p>I set myself a challenge: complete the tower in one evening. Believe it or not, after 4 hours of non-stop work I was almost there.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"The Challenge\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/magic_sign_art_work11.jpg\" style=\"height:743px; width:650px\" title=\"The Challenge\" /></p>\n\n<h2>The Analysis</h2>\n\n<p>After some much-needed shuteye, I began analyzing the image in earnest. There were certain aspects missing in this image, and I wanted to give it an interesting edge with additional colors and special effects. I consulted with a friend of mine who suggested that I should have fireballs slamming into the tower. With that image in mind, I set out to create precisely that!</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Final Product\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/magic_sign_art_work12.jpg\" style=\"height:849px; width:600px\" title=\"Final Product\" /></p>\n\n<h2>The Finishing Touches</h2>\n\n<p>There is lots of extra work that is required to bring the image to life. I made a series of general corrections, added intricate details and finally conjured up a high-resolution image with the following dimensions: 7069x9998. After several evenings of hard work, the end result was precisely what I was after!</p>\n\n<h2>The Final Word</h2>\n\n<p>The process of creating this fantastic Magic Sign artwork was thoroughly enjoyable. I would like to send a big thank you to the organizers of the contest and to all the participants. The artwork was superb! I would also like to pay special tribute to Georgiy Gigem Ibrailov and Mariya Ketka Trepalina for the time they devoted to helping me.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"bottom\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_Team_B74910_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSU.jpg\" /></a></p>\n","date":"12/22/2015"},"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":"10884"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/game-setting/"},"strings":{"title":"Learn How To Create A Fantastic Game Setting","category":"Plarium- Behind the Scenes","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"480000","description":"<p>The overwhelming majority of information we process is done visually. In fact, experts put that figure as high as 90%. Our short-term memories are only capable of holding between 5-9 objects simultaneously and thanks to Twitter, news is often delivered in a format that is limited to a relatively low number of characters.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Learn How to Create a Fantastic Game Setting\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Learn_How_To_Create_A_Fantastic_Game_Setting1.jpg\" style=\"height:423px; width:650px\" title=\"Learn How to Create a Fantastic Game Setting\" /></p>\n\n<p>This is a good indicator of how easy it is for us to become bored with visual stimuli. 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;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>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>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>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<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><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>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>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>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<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Plariums Rich Game Lore\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Learn_How_To_Create_A_Fantastic_Game_Setting2.png\" style=\"height:454px; width:650px\" title=\"Plariums Rich Game Lore\" /></p>\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<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Learn_How_To_Create_A_Fantastic_Game_Setting3.jpg\" style=\"height:360px; width:800px\" /></p>\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>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\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"bottom\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_Team_B74910_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSU.jpg\" /></a></p>\n","date":"12/20/2015"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2014/07/building-online-community.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"10872"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/game-designer/"},"strings":{"title":" Working as a Game Designer at Plarium","category":"Plarium- Behind the Scenes","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"240000","description":"<p>We’d like to introduce you to Barry O'Brien – our video game designer here at <a href=\"//plarium.com/\">Plarium</a>. In 2002, Barry graduated with a BA Honors in Digital & Design Animation from the prestigious Cumbria Institute of the Arts in the United Kingdom. The next year, he teamed up with Bizarre Creations as an environmental artist. He later moved on to level design. Nowadays, Barry lives in Israel with his wife Einat and their 3 kids – Dan, Ethan and Luke.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Plariums Barry O'Brien\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/perks_of_being_a_game_designer.jpg\" style=\"height:366px; width:650px\" title=\"Plariums Barry O'Brien\" /></p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>The Perks & Challenges of being a Game Designer</h2>\n\n<p>Many people in the gaming world consider being a game designer the ultimate job. The fact of the matter is that I completely agree with that thinking. We've got it pretty good – we get paid to play the games we love, but we also have to do a fair amount of work.</p>\n\n<p>Gaming is lots of fun, and we have to make sure that everything going on behind the scenes keeps it that way. That's where the work component comes in. This is the thinking on the matter: The more you know about games as a designer, the better a game designer you will be.</p>\n\n<p>As game designers, we see things from a different perspective because we are always analyzing the overall experience. If I experienced something awesome in a game, my first thought is what caused that? There are so many possible reasons why an experience is elevated from a player’s perspective. It could be an incredible game mechanic, a character set piece, the confluence of several events or even an environment that I just landed up in.</p>\n\n<p>Then there's the other side of things – the boredom. If I find myself going through the motions in a game with too much monotony, I ask myself the following question: What is missing here? What would make this game so much more fun to play?</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/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><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>The Mechanics of Game Design</h2>\n\n<p>On the work front, my days are spent writing mounds of game design documents. This includes things like creating flowcharts, system spreadsheets and related text. All game designers are faced with the same challenges, namely creating the perfect game balance.</p>\n\n<p>Players want to be challenged at every level of the game, but they also want fairness. In other words there must be a skill-based component which allows players to defeat real opponents or artificial intelligence opponents. For me, and other game designers, game balance is the make or break factor. You cannot begin to imagine how much time, effort and expense goes towards this very component. It is an ongoing process that potentially lasts as long as the game itself.</p>\n\n<p>If you're wondering what types of skills are needed to be a great game designer, you're in luck! Good candidates have an incredible command of the English language in both written and spoken formats. Highly educated folks are always in demand and it helps to have terrific maths abilities. Things like logic, analytics, an in-depth knowledge of the gaming industry and related products certainly helps. Of course, you have to enjoy what you do because that translates into riveting gaming entertainment.</p>\n\n<h2>The Pressure Cooker</h2>\n\n<p>It may appear to be all fun and games, but there is a very serious side to game design. The actual creation of a game requires the entire team to cooperate. But at the end of the day it's the game designers that create an incredible game experience. You may be surprised to learn how many different departments comprise a game studio, with <a href=\"//plarium.com/en/behind-the-scenes/social-gaming-and-sound/\">sound</a>, development, art, animation and GUI units all working synergistically to perfect the final product.</p>\n\n<p>But guess who they all look up to for direction - the Game Design team. For this reason, the Game Design team must have a clear understanding of the game vision.</p>\n\n<p>At the end of the day, being a game designer is a great career choice. It is rewarding, exciting and challenging. If you're interested in making a career out of Game Design, I would have no hesitation in recommending it to you. Thanks to the power of incredible game development software, free 3-D animation and YouTube, anyone can learn about Game Design from the comforts of home.</p>\n\n<p>Once you perfect your skills, you'll be in a great position to get a job in the gaming industry. If you’re little stuck about where to begin, why not consider Plarium. It's a fantastic independent studio which really encourages and fosters collaboration and creative thinking. Plarium is continually pushing the boundaries – that’s precisely the type of environment you want to work in.</p>\n\n<p>Close your eyes for a moment and let your imagination conjure up the most fantastic and exciting game environment. Now imagine working towards creating that very Game Design and bringing it to life right before your very eyes. That's what makes this vocation so thrilling.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"bottom\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_Team_B74910_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSU.jpg\" /></a></p>","date":"12/15/2015"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2014/07/rise-of-samer.png"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"10857"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/making-of-warrior/"},"strings":{"title":"The Making of the Fantasy Warrior","category":"Plarium- Behind the Scenes","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"60000","description":"<p>Plarium Games’s acclaimed concept artist, Valentin Demchenko, brings the Fantasy Warrior to life with dazzling realism.

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;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>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>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>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<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><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>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>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\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2014/07/Jesper-Kyd-Headshot.jpg\" style=\"height:300px; width:247px\" /></span></p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"bottom\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_Team_B74910_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSU.jpg\" /></a></p>\n","date":"5/17/2015"},"images":{"preview":{"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/the-power-of-hardcore-social-games/"},"strings":{"title":"The Power of Hardcore Social Games at Plarium","category":"Plarium- Behind the Scenes","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<h2>By Nicholas Day, Creative Director, Plarium</h2>\n\n<p>It’s not easy creating a terrific, free, hard-core social strategy <a href=\"/en/games\">game</a>. Part of the challenge is that the game has to appeal to an audience that knows precisely what it wants. If the game falls short of expectations, players are out of there in a flash. Another issue that needs to be considered is that of consistency: the game needs to be able to reel players in time and again, for months or years on end. This begs the question: how is this done? What is it that will keep players engaged, and coming back, day in, and day out?</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>Here at Plarium, we've poured a tremendous amount of effort into answering precisely these questions. Our in-house creative geniuses have summed it up in 4 key elements. These include the following: leveraging the games’ social aspects to generate a highly engaged player base; utilising open-ended narratives for all of the game environments; keeping a constant real-time format, and usage of an open-world gaming structure. Let's take a look at the open-world structure.</p>\n\n<h2>The Open World Structuring Social Gaming</h2>\n\n<p>In social gaming, the open world refers to precisely what it does outside of social gaming: learn the rules and proceed in any direction that you wish. In the context of gaming, this will allow you to navigate the many features available in the game. At Plarium, we focus on a great deal of cooperative gaming, as we feel that the best route to success lies in players collaborating with one another, pushing the limits, testing the boundaries and seeking solutions in the gaming world. Point number two relates to our use of features and tools. <a href=\"/en/games/platform/browser-games/\">Plarium browser games</a> require constant updating to prevent the gaming world from becoming stale. We want our players to engage with one another and the game in many ways, on many levels. When the shackles have been removed, players can actually take ownership of the game and attempt new ways of doing things.</p>\n\n<h2>Benefits of Real-Time Gameplay</h2>\n\n<p>Our gaming environment is constantly changing, even while players are away. You may be at work, or asleep, but rest assured that the games at Plarium will have new challenges waiting for you. The balance of power is constantly shifting as new clans are being formed. Real-time gameplay and a high amount of social interaction inevitably lead to a greater degree of engagement with players. The game becomes part and parcel of the player’s daily routine; this is what brings players back, time and again. Social gaming relationships formed between players, the sharing of information, and the pursuit of joint objectives keep the fires burning.  </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/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><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>Exploring the Narrative Approach </h2>\n\n<p><a href=\"/en/games/platform/pc-games/\">PC titles</a> form the basis of all social real-time strategy games. These types of games typically sport 3 gaming modes: <a href=\"/en/games/genre/multiplayer-games/\">multiplayer</a>, skirmish and campaign. When it comes to MMORTS style games, here at Plarium we combine all three into a unified gaming experience. This has an interesting outcome: games play out in real time, and they are persistent. This means that players will have to face the consequences of the actions they take in the games. Newbies find it easy to immerse themselves in an unending game narrative. The story doesn't have a central focus, or a conclusion – it's ongoing. </p>\n\n<p>Players are placed into a massive set piece and the story provides the backdrop within the context of a broader global conflict. Linear progression does not exist in terms of storyline; some players really love this story, while others are content with understanding how it creates the setting. There are plenty of opportunities to delve further into the gaming world via content and side missions, but not doing so will not cause any problems for players. It's this narrative that holds the game together; beyond that players can do what they please. We also offer fully-voiced mission branches with subplots. As you advance through the game, so you enjoy increasing rewards and plenty of extra points for unique features within the game. This additional narrative to the existing mechanics of the game provides greater gaming options for players.</p>\n\n<h2>The Social Gaming Component </h2>\n\n<p>At Plarium, it's all about social gaming. This is precisely what draws players to our games, and this is what keeps them coming back time and again. As soon as players join <a href=\"/en/blog/be-a-clan-leader/\">a team, or clan</a>, this is the glue that keeps them with us. We can personally attest to the fact that players have formed all sorts of relationships as a result of the social gaming component of Plarium games. These include well-structured peer groups, multi-year rivalries, long distance friendships and even true love. The social component – the long-term daily engagement – makes all of this possible.</p>\n\n<p>Here at Plarium we have a favourite story about a couple of players; let's call them Steve and Michelle. They were both long-time players in different clans. One of Steve's clan members broke a truce with Michelle's clan and the two of them were required to put together a diplomatic solution to the crisis. Several months went by, and Michelle received a Christmas greeting card. The two of them ended up in the same clan. They moved their game relationship to Facebook, then onto Skype, then finally they met up in real life. Now for the clincher: 6 months ago they got in touch with us to inform us that they are engaged to be married.</p>\n\n<p>It's interesting to note that in the Russian gaming community, players with very large clans typically organise gatherings at restaurants or hotels. Social games are also a great way to stay in touch with family and friends around the world – examples abound.</p>\n\n<h2>Summing it up</h2>\n\n<p>We do our very best to bring life to our gaming communities. We use all sorts of retention techniques to build a game that is ever-evolving, engaging and highly entertaining. The formula we use allows players to engage with the game in their own way, essentially giving them ownership of the game. </p>\n\n<p>Our games are about real people interacting with one another, and the design is long-term oriented to keep them coming back for more, time and again! </p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"bottom\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_Team_B74910_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSU.jpg\" /></a></p>\n","date":"5/17/2015"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2014/07/power-behind-games-at-plarium.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"272"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/hardcore-gamer/"},"strings":{"title":"10 Signs You Are a Hardcore Social Gamer","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"120000","description":"<p dir=\"ltr\">Ever wondered what constitues being a hardcore gamer?

For some reason, MMO players are always assigned negative stereotypes by non-MMO players, even more so than other gamers who don’t play <a href=\"//plarium.com/en/mmo-games/\">MMOs</a>.</p>\n\n<p>However, according to recent surveys, that random person is wrong. Well, mostly wrong, but still wrong.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>Myth #1: MMO players are all male</h2>\n\n<p>While most MMO players are indeed male, there is still a significant number of female players who we can’t just ignore. Based on relatively recent information, only 60% of players are male. A few years prior to that, around 85% of them were males, so you can see the number of females in MMOs just keeps growing as time passes. I wouldn’t be surprised if in a few years at least half of all MMO gamers are women.</p>\n\n<h2>Myth #2: Only kids and teenagers play MMOs</h2>\n\n<p>This is simply not true. The average age of an MMO player is 26. In fact, only about 25% of all MMO gamers can be considered teenagers between the ages of 12 and 17. The other 75% are older, and most of them are between 23 and 28. It’s interesting to note that, on average, female players are older than their male counterparts. 27% of all female players are over the age of 35, as opposed to 13% of males.</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/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><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>Myth #3: Only single people play MMOs</h2>\n\n<p>Why would you think that? 36% of MMO player are either married or engaged to be married. It’s true that most male players are indeed single, further feeding that “single male” stereotype. Females, on the other hand, mostly fall into the married column.</p>\n\n<p>It is often theorized that this is because many of them are introduced to MMOs by their significant other, but we prefer not to speculate. Bear in mind - these 36% do not include players who are currently in a relationship but are simply not married/engaged. In reality, the number of “non-singles” is quite higher than 36%.</p>\n\n<h2>Myth #4: Most people who play MMOs are unemployed</h2>\n\n<p>Yet another incorrect assumption. Not all MMOs are Free-to-play, and even those that are often encourage gamers to invest some money in one way or another. 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<h2>Myth #5: MMO players spend an unhealthy amount of hours playing</h2>\n\n<p>Well, that depends on what one considers an “unhealthy amount of hours”. The average gamer spends about 21 hours a week playing MMOs and 7.7 weekly hours watching TV. In comparison, the average non-gamer American spends 28 hours watching TV each week. Does that mean MMO gamers are about as healthy as your average American? It’s hard to say, really.</p>\n\n<p>After reviewing the facts, you’ll notice that the random person on the street doesn’t really know what they are talking about. The truth is there’s no “typical MMO gamer”. The MMO gaming community is as diverse as they come, ranging from young high school students, to firefighters in their mid 50s, to retired project managers. However, every one of them has one thing in common: they are all here to enjoy the rich and fun experiences MMOs can provide.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"bottom\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_Team_B74910_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSU.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n","date":"3/2/2016"},"images":{"preview":{"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":"Creating Game Settings with top-notch Graphics","category":"Plarium- Behind the Scenes","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"600000","description":"<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Image from Pirates: Tides of Fortune\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings1.jpg\" style=\"height:450px; width:800px\" title=\"Image from Pirates: Tides of Fortune\" /></p>\n\n<p>From the outset, we have talked about the importance of graphics in gaming. What we are about to demonstrate in this article has less to do with the quality of in-game graphics, and more to do with the impact graphics have on player psychology.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>Using Color Scale & Lighting to Set the Stage</h2>\n\n<p>In cinema, filters and color scale are widely used to identify the tone and genre of a film – they give it an individual identity.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Colors from popular TV-Shows\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings2.jpg\" style=\"height:600px; width:590px\" title=\"Colors from popular TV-Shows\" /></p>\n\n<p>In the gaming world, this very color scale is what sets the tone for the action to follow. It deeply impacts the way we react to the game and resonates with our innermost emotions. The color scale is wholly dependent on the setting we are trying to create, in addition to the genre of the game and the storyline.</p>\n\n<p>Color and emotions are intertwined, as is evident with how specific themes use color to strike a chord with the way we respond to the game. Consider for a moment the impact that certain color configurations have on our moods. Red 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 colors. 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 style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Variations of red\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings3.jpg\" style=\"height:450px; width:800px\" title=\"Variations of red\" /></p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Monsters\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings4.jpg\" style=\"height:450px; width:800px\" title=\"Monsters\" /></p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"The color schemes depends on the setting\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings5.jpg\" style=\"height:450px; width:800px\" title=\"The color schemes depends on the setting\" /></p>\n\n<p>Yellow is a particularly interesting color in the gaming world, and is often indicative of foulness, infection and sickness. Consider the game Pathologic, which makes widespread use of the color yellow throughout its gritty scenes.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Yellow can indicate foulness, infection and sickness\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings6.jpg\" style=\"height:450px; width:800px\" title=\"Yellow can indicate foulness, infection and sickness\" /></p>\n\n<p>Now, draw your attention to different shades of blue and how they affect your mood. Cloudy, murky, dusky blues are also unnerving. They instill a feeling of dread and foreboding, and are often used in 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<p><img alt=\"Blue: Dread and foreboding\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings7.jpg\" style=\"height:450px; width:800px\" title=\"Blue: Dread and foreboding\" /></p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"The colors instantly affects our mood\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings8.jpg\" style=\"height:450px; width:800px\" title=\"The colors instantly affects our mood\" /></p>\n\n<p>Throughout the evolution of films and games, our minds have associated certain graphics and colors with the stereotypes we have listed above. This has allowed game developers and filmmakers to set the mood by using graphics to maximum effect. The perfect setting can be created by blending the right colors together to create the ultimate gaming experience.</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/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><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<p>Here at Plarium, our <a href=\"//plarium.com/en/strategy-games/\">strategy-based games</a> have been put through rigorous testing to consider player perception and settings. Consider one of our most popular MMORPG games – <a href=\"//plarium.com/en/strategy-games/total-domination/\">Total Domination</a>. This post-apocalyptic action thriller, reminiscent of Fallout, also has elements of science fiction throughout. The barren wasteland is brought to life in dismal shades of brown and orange. This creates a feeling of barrenness, desolation and ruin. Alongside that, Total Domination juxtaposes high-tech firepower, machinery and equipment into the game in order to strike the perfect balance.</p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"The wasteland of Total Domination\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings9.jpg\" style=\"height:520px; width:800px\" title=\"The wasteland of Total Domination\" /></p>\n\n<h2>Introducing Interface Style</h2>\n\n<p>Interface creation in modern times has tended from the highly complex to the comparatively simple. This is easily seen in the way in which games are developed today.</p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"Plariums Interface Creation\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings10.jpg\" style=\"height:450px; width:800px\" title=\"Plariums Interface Creation\" /></p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"Developing characters\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings11.jpg\" style=\"height:472px; width:800px\" title=\"Developing characters\" /></p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"A monster is born\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings12.jpg\" style=\"height:450px; width:800px\" title=\"A monster is born\" /></p>\n\n<p>When you're playing mobile games or social games, you will frequently be interacting 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. The goal is always 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 are constantly juggling myriad elements to try and keep players entertained, engaged and wanting more. Each of the in-game elements must serve a specific purpose while retaining the loyalty of players, challenging players at every opportunity, and creating a sense of community.</p>\n\n<p>The manner in which pop-up windows are showcased will allow game creators to emphasise specific details necessary for players to proceed through the game. The specific designs that are used for these pop-up windows also relay certain messages to players. Sharp corners and the use of blades, swords, axes, and other weapons portray aggression. These types of symbols and designs are ideally suited to battle-ready warrior games.</p>\n\n<p>By contrast rounded features 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>The Plarium blockbuster MMO game <a href=\"//plarium.com/en/strategy-games/sparta-war-of-empires/\">Sparta: War of Empires</a> utilizes design elements indicative of that period in history. These include flags, helmets, shields, swords, columns, and Greek letters.</p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"Sparta: War of Empires\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings13.jpg\" style=\"height:472px; width:800px\" title=\"Sparta: War of Empires\" /></p>\n\n<p>Certain player expectations are inherent in a typical color scale. For example Red signifies no and Green signifies yes. Other in-game possibilities are also represented by Red and Green such as defeat and victory, rejection or acceptance.</p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"Red signifies no and Green signifies yes\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings14.jpg\" style=\"height:510px; width:800px\" title=\"Red signifies no and Green signifies yes\" /></p>\n\n<h2>Backgrounds & Locations</h2>\n\n<p>Setting typically refers to the scene of the game in the Western industry. Setting the scene is a vital component of the game as it determines whether or not the player is absorbed into the gaming world. Failure to create the ultimate immersive user interface will result in a mediocre or unappealing setting. Player attitudes and perceptions quickly sour when the backgrounds and locations of games do not meet their expectations.</p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"Backgrounds\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings15.jpg\" style=\"height:450px; width:800px\" title=\"Backgrounds\" /></p>\n\n<p>Location is especially important when you're trying to create a certain feel for the player. Mass Effect players will instantly recognize the location in this picture – the SSV Normandy. The intricate details in the image reveal a level of personalization within the environment, allowing players to identify with the main character. During the 1990s, gaming developers were unable to specify locations by adding interactive elements in the game.</p>\n\n<p>Today, anything is possible in the world of gaming and individualized locations, unique settings and a high degree of immersion are the norm. These elements resonate with players on an emotional level, and provide us with an in-depth perspective on who the main character is.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Creating the main character \" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings16.jpg\" style=\"height:450px; width:800px\" /></p>\n\n<p>By designing the background with attention to detail, players are drawn into the world of the characters they are interacting with in the game. The background design boosts the level of realism in the game and makes it that much more engaging to players.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"The background design boosts the level of realism\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings17.jpg\" style=\"height:450px; width:800px\" title=\"The background design boosts the level of realism\" /></p>\n\n<p>Another aspect of social and mobile games that you will notice is that of marginalization. Simply put, this is the area of the screen that your attention is being drawn to. In Sparta: War of Empires, Plarium’s graphic designers upturned convention by moving away from traditional square concepts by expanding the area of interaction. Take a look at the image below which shows you how we have added curves and rounded features to the streets. The overall appearance of the scene is a 3D interactive milieu where the city is clearly divided up into multiple levels. The Player’s Polis is buttressed on the one side by the mountain and bordered on the other by the sea.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Sparta 3D interactive milieu\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings18.jpg\" style=\"height:450px; width:800px\" title=\"Sparta 3D interactive milieu\" /></p>\n\n<p>Another engaging element which we have implemented into our games is that of animated backgrounds. Take a look at our Soldiers Inc. MMO game that adds animation to the scene and creates the impression of ongoing activity within the gaming environment.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Soldiers Inc. game setting\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings19.jpg\" style=\"height:450px; width:800px\" /></p>\n\n<p>Look at the structure, style, and color configurations of buildings and tenements in games. These form part of the location aspect of the game and it is this aspect that makes for an authentic setting. One such game – The Walking Dead –by TellTale Games is reflective of such rationale.</p>\n\n<p>The background really sets the scene, and as you make your way through the game, it becomes apparent how the decrepit buildings and the abandoned feel of the place is conducive to the actual game. As the characters’ moods darken, the background takes on a similar ominous undertone and supports the devolving mood of the game.</p>\n\n<p>On the flipside, locations that do not appear to gel with the setting of the game as part of the broader gaming universe are also there for a reason. These types of environments are incorporated for the purposes of plot twists and surprise elements in the game.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"The Walking Dead\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings20.jpg\" style=\"height:450px; width:800px\" title=\"The Walking Dead\" /></p>\n\n<p>Take a look at the in-game background details below. You will notice that there appears to be a violation of the basic laws of physics. When this is done intentionally, it is done for satirical purposes. It would be foolhardy to violate the laws of physics for no apparent reason.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Violation of the basic laws of physics for satirical purposes\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings21.jpg\" style=\"height:450px; width:800px\" title=\"Violation of the basic laws of physics for satirical purposes\" /></p>\n\n<p>This brings us to another important component of setting the scene: authenticity. The degree to which game developers seek to create a genuine environment is an integral component of the overall setting. In the case of Sparta: War of Empires, the Hellenic sculptures, columns and statues are white – not painted like they were at the time they were made. Players identify with the white marble structures visible in the game, and would probably frown upon painted sculptures and statues that really existed at that time.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Authenticity is an important factor for success\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings22.jpg\" style=\"height:450px; width:800px\" title=\"Authenticity is an important factor for success\" /></p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"From image to sketch\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings23.jpg\" style=\"height:450px; width:800px\" title=\"From image to sketch\" /></p>\n\n<p>A character's appearance is the best possible way to arouse certain emotions in a player. A character who displays fear, dread or tension will instill certain emotions within players to make them want to help and assuage that character. The player projects an image of himself/herself onto the antagonist or protagonist in the game. We then act on our emotions accordingly. One of the ways that games try to shape our emotions, and therefore our actions is by way of banner advertisements. A damsel in distress is the perfect example of a game seeking a knight in shining armor!</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"A character's appearance is the best possible way to arouse emotions\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings24.jpg\" style=\"height:600px; width:800px\" title=\"A character's appearance is the best possible way to arouse emotions\" /></p>\n\n<p>The importance of text cannot be understated: Text helps to understand in-game assets such as defenses and weapons. In this vein, rigorous testing, development and matching needs to come into play to ensure that there is synergy between what the character is wearing and using and functionality issues. It should also gel with the overarching ideas in the game.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"The importance of text cannot be understated\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings25.jpg\" style=\"height:500px; width:800px\" title=\"The importance of text cannot be understated\" /></p>\n\n<p>Throughout the development of locations, settings and environments, game developers can never take their fingers off the pulse of the target audience. A great example of catering to a specific audience is World of Tanks. This game has at its core an older generation of males who have a deep appreciation and interest in history. Authenticity and attention to detail are absolute requirements and historians may be required to add invaluable input.</p>\n\n<p>The strategy-based MMO game by Plarium – <a href=\"//plarium.com/en/strategy-games/soldiers-inc/\">Soldiers Inc</a>. has been translated into seven languages. What is interesting about this game is that the combat weapons of each specific country are accurate. This sci-fi game takes place at a future time, in a fictional country, but players from real countries can identify with the weapons capabilities available in their home countries.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Soldiers Inc. - Translated to 7 languages\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings26.jpg\" style=\"height:450px; width:800px\" title=\"Soldiers Inc. - Translated to 7 languages\" /></p>\n\n<p>When a player first starts playing a game, in-depth analysis is not a priority. Rather, the player focuses on the combat system and the mechanics of the game. As the player advances through the game, context becomes important. All sorts of exploratory research, understanding and analysis then takes place. Players will seek out elements hidden within the graphics, tips, puzzles, etc. Within the game, a character's appearance will reflect emotions based on these new findings. This further adds to the level of engagement that players have with the character within the game setting.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Gaming - all about interaction\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Using_Graphics_To_Create_Exciting_Game_Settings27.jpg\" style=\"height:450px; width:800px\" title=\"Gaming - all about interaction\" /></p>\n\n<p>Gaming is all about interaction, immersion, and emotional connection. One way that gaming developers do this is by use of graphics. The ideal setting, background, location, and game milieu can be created with top-tier graphics.</p>\n\n<p>Modern-day indie games make use of plot, music, and pictures to draw players into the fold. And the best part is they can do this with a negligible budget. In our next Plarium behind-the-scenes look into gameplay, we will analyze the impact of video effects and audio!</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"bottom\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_Team_B74910_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSU.jpg\" /></a></p>\n","date":"2/9/2016"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2014/07/power-behind-games-at-plarium.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"11040"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/game-trailers/"},"strings":{"title":"A Peek Behind the Scenes of Game Trailers","category":"Plarium- Behind the Scenes","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"420000","description":"<p>Upcoming releases of video games are heavily dependent on the quality of game trailers, and it stands to reason that they can easily <em>make or break</em> a new game.

They should provide a window into the game world and also a feel of precisely what the player should expect once they begin playing. In a world with an overwhelming focus on social media connectivity, game trailers should be lots of fun to watch and easily shareable.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Plarium Game Trailers\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Making_A_Game_Trailer_Plarium_1.png\" style=\"height:438px; width:800px\" title=\"Plarium Game Trailers\" /></p>\n\n<p>We put <em>a lot </em>of emphasis into game trailers here at Plarium. The good news is that they work exceptionally well for <a href=\"/en/games/genre/strategy-games/\">strategy games</a> across a wide range of social networks, <a href=\"/en/games/platform/mobile-games/\">mobile platforms</a> and <a href=\"/en/games/platform/browser-games/\">browsers</a>. Get ready for our in-depth expose into how our talented Visual FX team went about creating the <a href=\"/en/game/total-domination/\">Total Domination</a> Trailer, and all of the lessons that we've managed to learn during the process.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>Getting the Ball Rolling</h2>\n\n<p>With Total Domination, one of the primary challenges we were met with when attempting to create a cinematic game trailer was the lack of human resources. When we got started, we really didn't have a dedicated cinematic team, so it was necessary for us to put one together. We were in need of more VFX artists, animators and 3D artists.</p>\n\n<p>Fortunately, we actually had a VFX artist from the get go, and several of our team members were recruited internally directly from our Art Department. As for the rest, we outsourced them, including music and sound – since we had no internal resources for these recruitments.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Vyacheslav Lisovsky\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Making_A_Game_Trailer_Plarium_2.jpg\" style=\"height:250px; width:375px\" title=\"Vyacheslav Lisovsky\" /></p>\n\n<p>As soon as everything was in place, the team began to focus on quality. Even with limited staff, the visual FX team was not prepared to compromise on quality. We simply needed to go toe to toe with the very best of what world-class VFX teams are capable of doing.</p>\n\n<p>The first step in the process is a concept outline. This typically includes the overarching goals of the video, the script and the main concept. These elements are to be put into place to ensure that the same vision is shared. Next up, a rough storyboard, replete with scenes needs to be created. During this stage of proceedings, it's important to define precisely what each shot will encompass. We define shots with animatic sketches – these are the underdeveloped fragments that mark each of the shots. </p>\n\n<h3>Drafting a Game Trailer</h3>\n\n<p>Remember that the actual animatic is still a long ways off, and it can take scores of iterations, plenty of research into shots and angles, and a highly technical synergistic approach to completing the project.</p>\n\n<p>During this stage of the game, it's really important to stress that creative carte blanche needs to be fostered. Generate lots of ideas during the concept phase, and consider all viable suggestions. Our arts director and producer – Dima Volovikov - rejected outright the idea of opting for a cheaper route. In fact, he went as far as raising the bar even higher in respect of difficult shots.</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/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><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>Video Game Trailer Tools</h2>\n\n<p>Plarium animated <em>everything </em>in Total Domination, in 3D Max and Maya. Here’s how the pipeline was distributed: most of the animation and the composition was done in Maya; the shading, lighting and VFX were done in 3D Max.  We have a highly talented art department at Plarium and we’ve got plenty of concept artists.</p>\n\n<p>Our VFX team had access to copious amounts of ready-made models and graphic content, making the process that much more efficient. Remember that some of the models we had needed extra work done on them, while others were made exclusively for cinematic purposes – the large robot and the scorpion are cases in point.</p>\n\n<h3>The Challenges of Creating a Game Trailer</h3>\n\n<p>It does get kind of tricky using different software and media. As an example of this, consider Warp animation from Maya & Max and then using rendering for seamless VFXs. Throughout, the production needs to look right, and the slow-mo parts need to be rendered in 96 frames per second for correct composition. The next step involved exporting the time-warping curve to Nuke. Every crucial slow-down data was put into place for Time Warp in Nuke for this cinematic video game trailer.</p>\n\n<p>As for shadows, fragmentation and silhouettes, the Plarium design team used 3D Studio Max for character splitting. For fragmentation, we used the Voronoi algorithm. Naturally, it's important to optimise the geometrics of the characters and the video, and we removed the fine details that didn't change the silhouette of the model. The demolition of the building that you can see in the video was actually made using RBD dynamics – RayFire.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"RBD dynamics – RayFire\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Making_A_Game_Trailer_Plarium_3.jpg\" style=\"height:417px; width:800px\" title=\"RBD dynamics – RayFire\" /></p>\n\n<p>In terms of time taken, our Visual FX team required approximately 4 months to produce the Total Domination video – that excludes the 2 months spent putting a top team together. Viewed in perspective, it's important to know that if you're looking for an awesome result, you will have to work with your development teams and your marketing teams and start procuring the assets that are needed at least 30 days ahead of time.</p>\n\n<h2>Final Results and Takeaways</h2>\n\n<p>Hindsight is always 20/20, but as we reflect on what we have done, we know that we should have allocated substantially more resources and time for preproduction. This is especially true when it comes to sketches, concept art and storyboards. If you don't have these types of materials handy – and finalized – there is a great deal of creative confusion that arises within your team. Unity and clarity of creative strategy is important.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"4 color schemes\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Making_A_Game_Trailer_Plarium_4.jpg\" style=\"height:510px; width:800px\" title=\"4 color schemes\" /></p>\n\n<p>If we were tasked with creating a new cinematic, we would likely have chosen a unified color scheme. By doing this, we would have saved a tremendous amount of time, since it would have required significantly less modelling work for the final video. In our particular project, we made use of 4 color schemes, and it provided plenty of challenges for us. We have learned however that it is possible to create something equally as impressive, but significantly more manageable in our future projects.</p>\n\n<p>Our learning curve extended well beyond color schemes to sound effects, sound design and scoring. Recall that we only began work on the sound – and the music – at the conclusion of our project. We waited almost until the very end. The result of this was that our project completion date was pushed back further and we ended up losing lots of time with our SFX and music.</p>\n\n<h3>The Devil is in the Details</h3>\n\n<p>In the music and sound department, we worked with phenomenal talents including the renowned <a href=\"/en/blog/jesper-kyd/\">Jesper Kyd</a>. We owe special thanks to Andrew at Wabi Sabi Studios as he created precisely what we are looking for in the SFX arena. Suffice it to say, we could have saved a lot of time and hassle by having everyone on the same page from inception of the project. </p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Total Domination Game Trailer\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Making_A_Game_Trailer_Plarium_5.png\" style=\"height:440px; width:800px\" title=\"Total Domination Game Trailer\" /></p>\n\n<p>Viacheslav Lisovsky (rigging, direction, animation and lead at Plarium Games) had the following to say about the Game Trailer for Total Domination:</p>\n\n<p><em>\"Overall, we're quite happy with the end result of our work, but we're now starting to realize some of the mistakes we made in the process… Going forward, we can speed up the processes, by planning and organizing the pipeline in a far more effective way. That being said, the most important aspect of making a cinematic trailer is the experience that all the team members gained during the process…\"</em></p>\n\n<p>The one takeaway we can provide you with is the following: even if you do everything according to best practice methodology, eventualities will always arise that will test your problem-solving abilities to the max. That's why it's important to always think out of the box!</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"bottom\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_Team_B74910_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSU.jpg\" /></a></p>\n","date":"1/3/2016"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/05/TD_905x301_Behind_The_Scenes.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"10923"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/sign-art/"},"strings":{"title":"How to Create Magic Sign Art","category":"Plarium- Behind the Scenes","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"240000","description":"<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Sergey Samarskiy\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/magic_sign_art_work1.jpg\" style=\"height:433px; width:650px\" title=\"Sergey Samarskiy\" /></p>\n\n<p>Greetings everyone!

Zelazny just before the Mage Tower contest. This fantasy series is a fountain of inspiration for me, notably the Merlin Cycle. I conjured up an image of a mage by utilizing a sign as the source of inspiration and power in my mind’s eye.</p>\n\n<h2>The Quest Begins…</h2>\n\n<p>It doesn't matter whether your project is personal or business-oriented. In either case, you will need to find reliable references as your number one step. For me, I like to work backwards from the vision to the reality. At this point in time I was in the preproduction stage of development. My task was simple: collect as much quality artwork from the Internet as possible.</p>\n\n<p>A well of inspiration for me was the famed illustrator – Michael Komarck. Feel free to take a look at <a href=\"http://komarckart.com/\" target=\"_blank\">his website</a> to see exactly how inspiring a character this fellow really is. Another top-quality reference that I used was the fantasy card game – Magic the Gathering.<br />\nI kept these sources of inspiration in a separate file so that I can preserve all the necessary information. I use Photoshop with these images for easy access and referencing purposes.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:right\"><img alt=\"Inspiration\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/magic_sign_art_work2.jpg\" style=\"height:863px; width:628px\" title=\"Inspiration\" /></p>\n\n<p>This collection of artwork is a great source of inspiration for me to choose the ideas and styles of my new projects.</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/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><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>Starting with sketches…</h2>\n\n<p>With my artwork in folders, the next step is sketching miniatures. Sketches are a terrific way for me to have a general concept of the character without too much detail. This is still in a raw form, but it serves as a reference point for all the work to follow.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Sketching\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/magic_sign_art_work3.jpg\" style=\"height:277px; width:500px\" title=\"Sketching\" /></p>\n\n<p>As you can see, I sketched several miniatures and then selected the one that I like the most. This will be my starting point.</p>\n\n<h2>Picking a Photo …</h2>\n\n<p>With this sketch in hand, the next piece of the puzzle is finding references for the weapons, posture, clothing and style that I am looking for. Regarding posture, I didn't use the Internet for any of my photos searches. I referenced this myself, with the help of many different photos in my inventory.</p>\n\n<p>I like realism in the clothing without too much intricate detail. As my starting point, I used photographs of costumes from the Lord of the Rings, different types of medieval clothing designs and other forms of artwork.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Clothing and weapons\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/magic_sign_art_work4.jpg\" style=\"height:918px; width:538px\" title=\"Clothing and weapons\" /></p>\n\n<h2>The Drawing…</h2>\n\n<p>Now that I had all this information at my fingertips, I began working in earnest. While looking at the posture in the photograph, I completed a rough sketch of the image.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"The Drawing\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/magic_sign_art_work5.jpg\" style=\"height:452px; width:650px\" title=\"The Drawing\" /></p>\n\n<p>Next up, I added plenty of detail as you can see in the costume design – all in black & white.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Costume Design\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/magic_sign_art_work6.jpg\" style=\"height:452px; width:650px\" title=\"Costume Design\" /></p>\n\n<p>Painting comes next. My preferred choice is a simple method using layers with Overlay.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Now with colors\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/magic_sign_art_work7.jpg\" style=\"height:448px; width:650px\" title=\"Now with colors\" /></p>\n\n<p>Once the right colors have been applied, I can make the necessary corrections and hone in on the details.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Final Touches\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/magic_sign_art_work8.jpg\" style=\"height:448px; width:650px\" title=\"Final Touches\" /></p>\n\n<p>This whole process continues until I’m 100% satisfied with the end result.</p>\n\n<h2>The Tower</h2>\n\n<p>Once the mage is done, my next step is to begin work on the tower. In much the same manner as I listed above, it is important to collect as many useful references as possible to get an idea of the end picture. Since I required realism in my image, I opted for an existing structure as my point of reference.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Tower Inspiration\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/magic_sign_art_work9.jpg\" style=\"height:720px; width:628px\" title=\"Tower Inspiration\" /></p>\n\n<p>This is where it gets interesting: I modified Durham Cathedral to add a splash of fantasy. It is important to recreate the tower shape, structure and style so that it fits the requirements of the artwork.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Adding Fantasy\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/magic_sign_art_work10.jpg\" style=\"height:568px; width:497px\" title=\"Adding Fantasy\" /></p>\n\n<p>I set myself a challenge: complete the tower in one evening. Believe it or not, after 4 hours of non-stop work I was almost there.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"The Challenge\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/magic_sign_art_work11.jpg\" style=\"height:743px; width:650px\" title=\"The Challenge\" /></p>\n\n<h2>The Analysis</h2>\n\n<p>After some much-needed shuteye, I began analyzing the image in earnest. There were certain aspects missing in this image, and I wanted to give it an interesting edge with additional colors and special effects. I consulted with a friend of mine who suggested that I should have fireballs slamming into the tower. With that image in mind, I set out to create precisely that!</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Final Product\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/magic_sign_art_work12.jpg\" style=\"height:849px; width:600px\" title=\"Final Product\" /></p>\n\n<h2>The Finishing Touches</h2>\n\n<p>There is lots of extra work that is required to bring the image to life. I made a series of general corrections, added intricate details and finally conjured up a high-resolution image with the following dimensions: 7069x9998. After several evenings of hard work, the end result was precisely what I was after!</p>\n\n<h2>The Final Word</h2>\n\n<p>The process of creating this fantastic Magic Sign artwork was thoroughly enjoyable. I would like to send a big thank you to the organizers of the contest and to all the participants. The artwork was superb! I would also like to pay special tribute to Georgiy Gigem Ibrailov and Mariya Ketka Trepalina for the time they devoted to helping me.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"bottom\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_Team_B74910_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSU.jpg\" /></a></p>\n","date":"12/22/2015"},"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":"10884"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/game-setting/"},"strings":{"title":"Learn How To Create A Fantastic Game Setting","category":"Plarium- Behind the Scenes","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"480000","description":"<p>The overwhelming majority of information we process is done visually. In fact, experts put that figure as high as 90%. Our short-term memories are only capable of holding between 5-9 objects simultaneously and thanks to Twitter, news is often delivered in a format that is limited to a relatively low number of characters.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Learn How to Create a Fantastic Game Setting\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Learn_How_To_Create_A_Fantastic_Game_Setting1.jpg\" style=\"height:423px; width:650px\" title=\"Learn How to Create a Fantastic Game Setting\" /></p>\n\n<p>This is a good indicator of how easy it is for us to become bored with visual stimuli. 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;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>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>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>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<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><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>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>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>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<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Plariums Rich Game Lore\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Learn_How_To_Create_A_Fantastic_Game_Setting2.png\" style=\"height:454px; width:650px\" title=\"Plariums Rich Game Lore\" /></p>\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<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/Learn_How_To_Create_A_Fantastic_Game_Setting3.jpg\" style=\"height:360px; width:800px\" /></p>\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>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\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"bottom\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_Team_B74910_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSU.jpg\" /></a></p>\n","date":"12/20/2015"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2014/07/building-online-community.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"10872"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/game-designer/"},"strings":{"title":" Working as a Game Designer at Plarium","category":"Plarium- Behind the Scenes","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"240000","description":"<p>We’d like to introduce you to Barry O'Brien – our video game designer here at <a href=\"//plarium.com/\">Plarium</a>. In 2002, Barry graduated with a BA Honors in Digital & Design Animation from the prestigious Cumbria Institute of the Arts in the United Kingdom. The next year, he teamed up with Bizarre Creations as an environmental artist. He later moved on to level design. Nowadays, Barry lives in Israel with his wife Einat and their 3 kids – Dan, Ethan and Luke.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Plariums Barry O'Brien\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/26/perks_of_being_a_game_designer.jpg\" style=\"height:366px; width:650px\" title=\"Plariums Barry O'Brien\" /></p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>The Perks & Challenges of being a Game Designer</h2>\n\n<p>Many people in the gaming world consider being a game designer the ultimate job. The fact of the matter is that I completely agree with that thinking. We've got it pretty good – we get paid to play the games we love, but we also have to do a fair amount of work.</p>\n\n<p>Gaming is lots of fun, and we have to make sure that everything going on behind the scenes keeps it that way. That's where the work component comes in. This is the thinking on the matter: The more you know about games as a designer, the better a game designer you will be.</p>\n\n<p>As game designers, we see things from a different perspective because we are always analyzing the overall experience. If I experienced something awesome in a game, my first thought is what caused that? There are so many possible reasons why an experience is elevated from a player’s perspective. It could be an incredible game mechanic, a character set piece, the confluence of several events or even an environment that I just landed up in.</p>\n\n<p>Then there's the other side of things – the boredom. If I find myself going through the motions in a game with too much monotony, I ask myself the following question: What is missing here? What would make this game so much more fun to play?</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/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><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>The Mechanics of Game Design</h2>\n\n<p>On the work front, my days are spent writing mounds of game design documents. This includes things like creating flowcharts, system spreadsheets and related text. All game designers are faced with the same challenges, namely creating the perfect game balance.</p>\n\n<p>Players want to be challenged at every level of the game, but they also want fairness. In other words there must be a skill-based component which allows players to defeat real opponents or artificial intelligence opponents. For me, and other game designers, game balance is the make or break factor. You cannot begin to imagine how much time, effort and expense goes towards this very component. It is an ongoing process that potentially lasts as long as the game itself.</p>\n\n<p>If you're wondering what types of skills are needed to be a great game designer, you're in luck! Good candidates have an incredible command of the English language in both written and spoken formats. Highly educated folks are always in demand and it helps to have terrific maths abilities. Things like logic, analytics, an in-depth knowledge of the gaming industry and related products certainly helps. Of course, you have to enjoy what you do because that translates into riveting gaming entertainment.</p>\n\n<h2>The Pressure Cooker</h2>\n\n<p>It may appear to be all fun and games, but there is a very serious side to game design. The actual creation of a game requires the entire team to cooperate. But at the end of the day it's the game designers that create an incredible game experience. You may be surprised to learn how many different departments comprise a game studio, with <a href=\"//plarium.com/en/behind-the-scenes/social-gaming-and-sound/\">sound</a>, development, art, animation and GUI units all working synergistically to perfect the final product.</p>\n\n<p>But guess who they all look up to for direction - the Game Design team. For this reason, the Game Design team must have a clear understanding of the game vision.</p>\n\n<p>At the end of the day, being a game designer is a great career choice. It is rewarding, exciting and challenging. If you're interested in making a career out of Game Design, I would have no hesitation in recommending it to you. Thanks to the power of incredible game development software, free 3-D animation and YouTube, anyone can learn about Game Design from the comforts of home.</p>\n\n<p>Once you perfect your skills, you'll be in a great position to get a job in the gaming industry. If you’re little stuck about where to begin, why not consider Plarium. It's a fantastic independent studio which really encourages and fosters collaboration and creative thinking. Plarium is continually pushing the boundaries – that’s precisely the type of environment you want to work in.</p>\n\n<p>Close your eyes for a moment and let your imagination conjure up the most fantastic and exciting game environment. Now imagine working towards creating that very Game Design and bringing it to life right before your very eyes. That's what makes this vocation so thrilling.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"bottom\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_Team_B74910_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSU.jpg\" /></a></p>","date":"12/15/2015"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2014/07/rise-of-samer.png"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"10857"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/making-of-warrior/"},"strings":{"title":"The Making of the Fantasy Warrior","category":"Plarium- Behind the Scenes","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"60000","description":"<p>Plarium Games’s acclaimed concept artist, Valentin Demchenko, brings the Fantasy Warrior to life with dazzling realism.

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;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>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>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>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<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><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>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>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\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2014/07/Jesper-Kyd-Headshot.jpg\" style=\"height:300px; width:247px\" /></span></p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"bottom\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_Team_B74910_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSU.jpg\" /></a></p>\n","date":"5/17/2015"},"images":{"preview":{"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/the-power-of-hardcore-social-games/"},"strings":{"title":"The Power of Hardcore Social Games at Plarium","category":"Plarium- Behind the Scenes","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<h2>By Nicholas Day, Creative Director, Plarium</h2>\n\n<p>It’s not easy creating a terrific, free, hard-core social strategy <a href=\"/en/games\">game</a>. Part of the challenge is that the game has to appeal to an audience that knows precisely what it wants. If the game falls short of expectations, players are out of there in a flash. Another issue that needs to be considered is that of consistency: the game needs to be able to reel players in time and again, for months or years on end. This begs the question: how is this done? What is it that will keep players engaged, and coming back, day in, and day out?</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>Here at Plarium, we've poured a tremendous amount of effort into answering precisely these questions. Our in-house creative geniuses have summed it up in 4 key elements. These include the following: leveraging the games’ social aspects to generate a highly engaged player base; utilising open-ended narratives for all of the game environments; keeping a constant real-time format, and usage of an open-world gaming structure. Let's take a look at the open-world structure.</p>\n\n<h2>The Open World Structuring Social Gaming</h2>\n\n<p>In social gaming, the open world refers to precisely what it does outside of social gaming: learn the rules and proceed in any direction that you wish. In the context of gaming, this will allow you to navigate the many features available in the game. At Plarium, we focus on a great deal of cooperative gaming, as we feel that the best route to success lies in players collaborating with one another, pushing the limits, testing the boundaries and seeking solutions in the gaming world. Point number two relates to our use of features and tools. <a href=\"/en/games/platform/browser-games/\">Plarium browser games</a> require constant updating to prevent the gaming world from becoming stale. We want our players to engage with one another and the game in many ways, on many levels. When the shackles have been removed, players can actually take ownership of the game and attempt new ways of doing things.</p>\n\n<h2>Benefits of Real-Time Gameplay</h2>\n\n<p>Our gaming environment is constantly changing, even while players are away. You may be at work, or asleep, but rest assured that the games at Plarium will have new challenges waiting for you. The balance of power is constantly shifting as new clans are being formed. Real-time gameplay and a high amount of social interaction inevitably lead to a greater degree of engagement with players. The game becomes part and parcel of the player’s daily routine; this is what brings players back, time and again. Social gaming relationships formed between players, the sharing of information, and the pursuit of joint objectives keep the fires burning.  </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/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><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>Exploring the Narrative Approach </h2>\n\n<p><a href=\"/en/games/platform/pc-games/\">PC titles</a> form the basis of all social real-time strategy games. These types of games typically sport 3 gaming modes: <a href=\"/en/games/genre/multiplayer-games/\">multiplayer</a>, skirmish and campaign. When it comes to MMORTS style games, here at Plarium we combine all three into a unified gaming experience. This has an interesting outcome: games play out in real time, and they are persistent. This means that players will have to face the consequences of the actions they take in the games. Newbies find it easy to immerse themselves in an unending game narrative. The story doesn't have a central focus, or a conclusion – it's ongoing. </p>\n\n<p>Players are placed into a massive set piece and the story provides the backdrop within the context of a broader global conflict. Linear progression does not exist in terms of storyline; some players really love this story, while others are content with understanding how it creates the setting. There are plenty of opportunities to delve further into the gaming world via content and side missions, but not doing so will not cause any problems for players. It's this narrative that holds the game together; beyond that players can do what they please. We also offer fully-voiced mission branches with subplots. As you advance through the game, so you enjoy increasing rewards and plenty of extra points for unique features within the game. This additional narrative to the existing mechanics of the game provides greater gaming options for players.</p>\n\n<h2>The Social Gaming Component </h2>\n\n<p>At Plarium, it's all about social gaming. This is precisely what draws players to our games, and this is what keeps them coming back time and again. As soon as players join <a href=\"/en/blog/be-a-clan-leader/\">a team, or clan</a>, this is the glue that keeps them with us. We can personally attest to the fact that players have formed all sorts of relationships as a result of the social gaming component of Plarium games. These include well-structured peer groups, multi-year rivalries, long distance friendships and even true love. The social component – the long-term daily engagement – makes all of this possible.</p>\n\n<p>Here at Plarium we have a favourite story about a couple of players; let's call them Steve and Michelle. They were both long-time players in different clans. One of Steve's clan members broke a truce with Michelle's clan and the two of them were required to put together a diplomatic solution to the crisis. Several months went by, and Michelle received a Christmas greeting card. The two of them ended up in the same clan. They moved their game relationship to Facebook, then onto Skype, then finally they met up in real life. Now for the clincher: 6 months ago they got in touch with us to inform us that they are engaged to be married.</p>\n\n<p>It's interesting to note that in the Russian gaming community, players with very large clans typically organise gatherings at restaurants or hotels. Social games are also a great way to stay in touch with family and friends around the world – examples abound.</p>\n\n<h2>Summing it up</h2>\n\n<p>We do our very best to bring life to our gaming communities. We use all sorts of retention techniques to build a game that is ever-evolving, engaging and highly entertaining. The formula we use allows players to engage with the game in their own way, essentially giving them ownership of the game. </p>\n\n<p>Our games are about real people interacting with one another, and the design is long-term oriented to keep them coming back for more, time and again! </p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"bottom\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_Team_B74910_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSU.jpg\" /></a></p>\n","date":"5/17/2015"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2014/07/power-behind-games-at-plarium.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"272"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/hardcore-gamer/"},"strings":{"title":"10 Signs You Are a Hardcore Social Gamer","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"120000","description":"<p dir=\"ltr\">Ever wondered what constitues being a hardcore gamer?
