It is every developer’s dream to create a game that will become popular among fans and in the process, make a lot of money from it. The biggest question many developers, both accomplished and those starting out always have on their mind is how to make a game that resonates with the interests of players they are targeting.
Before taking that big leap, it is always advisable for developers to go through the most popular games to pick out some of the issues that made them a hit. Without further delay, we will discuss some of the things great games have in common.
Interesting Visuals and Themes
Ignoring the aesthetic appeal of the game, not having a clear theme is one of the worst mistakes you could ever commit while developing a game. You might have focused your energy most on the gameplay, which is equally important. Still, the game must also be appealing visually. This is one thing great games get right. Fans won’t forgive you for serving them lousy graphics.
Great Controls
If players find it hard to interact with your game, consider it a flop. Players like games they can interact with the moment they begin playing. They should be able to navigate through it with minimal difficulties. Fans should be able to take whatever actions they like when they want to. Great games have great controls.
Excellent Sound
To make things feel real, a great game must always have great sound as well as music. Take your fans to the stage where the action is through the soundtrack. Evoke their emotions and curiosity through the music. Let them feel like everything happening in there is real.
Memorable Characters
Games are all about fun and making memories; use characters that will not be easily forgotten. There is a reason why the most popular games have key movie characters. Make your characters as interesting as possible.
