How to Hire a Character Illustrator for a Game
How to hire a character illustrator without losing time in review A character illustration is easy to brief incorrectly.

Game Metrics That Guide Development Decisions
What game metrics should a development team track? A playable build can generate plenty of data without telling the team what to improve. Session counts may rise while tutorial completion falls.

How to Monetize Your Video Game Without Compromise
How to monetize my video game without damaging the player experience A small indie game can be commercially successful before it has a large audience, but only if its monetization model matches the way players use the product.

Casino games development: a production guide for game studios
Casino games development: what a production team must decide first A casino game can look complete long before it is safe to launch.

How to Choose a Virtual Reality Game Development Company
How to choose a virtual reality game development company A VR project fails when headset support, interaction design, and performance requirements are treated as additions to a conventional game.

Mobile Game Application Development: A Practical Production Guide
What mobile game application development requires A mobile game must work within constraints that console and PC projects can treat as less restrictive.
