Fancensus’ Post

After the #SummerGameFest, many fans expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of major announcements and trailers from larger AAA game studios.

Zero, Sonic X Shadow Generations, and LEGO Horizon Adventures, viewers were disappointed by the focus on smaller game studios and indie games. Many fans criticized the overlong Valorant announcement and the absence of anticipated AAA titles. On June 8, #GeoffKeighley posted a feedback poll on X, which received over 220,000 votes. The results showed that 39.8% rated the event "D or Below," while only 9.1% gave it an "A."

The demand for video game soundtracks in physical format has surged as gamers of all ages (18-49) collect their favorite game's music to play anytime. lacedrecords CEO Danny Kelleher has worked with the games industry across 80 IPs, with 250 releases under their belt from clients including Devolver Digital, Bethesda Game Studios, Capcom, SEGA, Ubisoft, and Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc. Their most recent partnership is with game developer Remedy Entertainment Plc to release the soundtrack to Alan Wake 2. Demand for physical versions of soundtracks can vary between AAA titles and indie games, but the fanbase of popular #indiegames can compete on numbers with AAA titles. Kelleher emphasizes that #gamedevelopers may need help navigating the complexities of #music rights management, as publishers may have missed opportunities or metadata issues. Laced Records aims to support game developers by monetizing uploaded #videos instead of ripping them down, and ensuring composers are credited where possible and royalties trickle through correctly. The company has tailored its offering to cater to game developers in the industry, helping them capitalize on #digital #soundtrack uploads and avoid leaving money on the table by not registering their #musiccopyrights.

As we enter the into the third week of #ResponsibleGamingEducationAwarenessMonth, we want to take a moment to underscore the critical importance of Responsible Gaming. We are proud of our dedicated game designers who seamlessly integrate RG principles into every aspect of our games. #GameDesign #ResponsibleGaming #iLottery #PollardBanknote

Dear Game Dev, Midway Games released one of the earliest multilevel shoot 'em up arcade games in 1981. It stood out due to its innovative features, such as diverse gameplay and the introduction of climactic battles against large enemies (bosses). More importantly, it utilized speech synthesis for in-game comments and taunts, enhancing the overall gaming experience. If you ever plan to use speech synthesizers in your game development, consider the following strategies to maintain a competitive advantage and protect your investments in this technology: 🎮: Pay close attention to the technology and algorithms used in your speech synthesis models, as they can be patented if they demonstrate novelty and inventive steps. 🎮: Keep certain aspects of the speech synthesis technology confidential by implementing non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) with employees and collaborators to protect sensitive information. 🎮: The data used to train speech synthesis models, including original recordings of human voices, can be protected under copyright. 🎮: Specific phrases, voices, and elements associated with the speech synthesizer’s communication can be protected under trademarks, especially if they contribute to your game's branding. I hope this helps. #gamedev #gamedevelopment #gamesindustry #videogames #videogamesip #creativeeconomy #africanmarket
