iPhone game development has become quite popular amongst the amateur programmers who love to play around with the iPhone applications and design innovative games for the world. Since its inception, iPhone 3Gs games development has attracted many people towards it and adding up to the variety of virtual games in the gaming world. However, this idea has inspired many young kids to believe that they can create the best games, without understanding the basics of web development. As a result, there are many young enthusiasts who have been entering in this arena thinking that game developing is as simple as game playing. But they become quite upset when their ambition turns into a disaster.
However, we also have heard the stories of some part time programmers who have struck gold with their games that have become a rage amongst the users. If you ask Steve Demeter, developer of the popular puzzle game “Trism”, he tells you his simple story. He started developing this game as a part time hobby. A software designer by profession, he submitted this game to Apple. As Apple made the game available for download in July 2008 with the launch of its App Store, the online provider of iPhone and iPod applications, it soared high on the popularity ladder. “ Trism” is priced at $5 and it earned $ 250,000 within the first two months of its launch. Trism has set the benchmark for the iPhone game programming and enjoys a worldwide appeal.
The idea behind the iPhone game development is that it might take dozens of software developers and millions of dollars to create games for traditional gaming consoles like Playstation or XBox. And to cut down on this cost, iPhone and App store have democratised the phenomena of game development by opening it to any software coder in the world who has a talent and an innovative idea. As for Demeter, he quit his job in the bank and opened an all new company namely Demiforce, that exclusively develops electronic games. He has a full fledged office with a salaried staff working for him and many games in the process of development and many coming out to the users. iPhone gaming development certainly open new avenues to the talented bunch of developers and it is proved now.
