Uma pesquisa realizada pelo Game Developer Research mostra que em média 70% dos seus quase 2.000 entrevistados estariam trabalhando em desenvolvimento de games para a plataforma PC. Foram entrevistadas várias pessoas envolvidas profissionalmente no desenvolvimento de games e com isso foi gerado um relatório de 180 páginas.
Infelizmente para acessar tal relatório é necessário pagar a bagatela de 2500 dólares, mesmo assim clique em Leia Mais para conferir algumas conclusões obtidas através da pesquisa.
– Overall, 70% of those replying are making games on the PC or Mac, with 43% creating for console and 28% for web platforms – with just 16% making games for handheld platforms such as the DS or PSP.
– Of the surveyed console developers, which represent a notable cross-section of the entire industry, 73% are creating games for Xbox 360, 58% (including some of the same respondents) for the PlayStation 3, and 42% for the Wii – with 15% still creating games for the PlayStation 2. This implies that the greatest amount of Western console developers by sheer numbers are creating games for Microsoft’s console – but due to team size differences, this doesn’t necessarily imply that more games will appear on the Xbox 360 than other consoles.
– Again, of the largely North American and European developers surveyed, Nintendo DS had the largest amount of creators by numbers, with 75% of those handheld developers surveyed making games for it – and with 45% making games for the PSP.
Another particularly interesting result that discussing trends in programming language. Of those responding, 76% are currently using C++ to make games, with 31% using C#, and 19% using Java/J2ME in their programming efforts. In addition, 9% of those replying still use assembly language in some way.
Então… Vamos Aguardar pq talvez, 2009 será o ano de muitos lançamentos.. hehehe!
