Games for phones are created by a developer who is usually represented by the company. But there are also cases when one person is engaged in such a process.
Instructions
Step 1
Decide on the mobile operating system for which the game will be designed. The fact is that today there is no single mobile platform in the world that overwhelms with its quantitative majority (for example, like computers, where Windows undoubtedly leads). Each manufacturer promotes something different, and as a result, the market has about ten operating systems. The most used operating systems are Android, Symbian OS, iOs and Windows Phone 7.
At the very beginning, the game will have to be developed for one of these platforms, and only after that, the game will have to be redone (ported) for others. This process is not trivial and requires a bold approach, since sometimes the difference between platforms is very significant.
Step 2
Learn a programming language. Programming is the most important part in the creation of any computer program, and the programmer is its most important creator, and the level of his professionalism is directly proportional to the success of the future game.
The ideal option for development for mobile devices is the Java language. It will be difficult for beginners to comprehend the basics. It will be more correct and easier to start with the basics of programming, first by mastering the school computer science curriculum.
Step 3
Form an idea for a future game. Create a special document where you describe everything related to the project, only without fanaticism. You don’t have to make big plans, but you’ll have to make them a reality using your programming skills. Thinking over the concept, remember the programming literature, think about everything from a logical point of view.
Step 4
Get started developing. Set up a development environment, a developer testing platform, and write code. Along the way, you can draw graphics, but this is not recommended, because drawing will noticeably distract you from the painstaking process of programming. It is better to deal with design in the last stages of development, or else entrust the case to another person.
Step 5
Test. The very last and longest stage in the development of any game, which is accompanied by all the previous ones. Look for bugs, bugs and other inaccuracies in the game. At first, there will be a lot of them, but it will be necessary to try to reduce their number to an acceptable level.
Step 6
After you think the game is ready, release it. Make it free, or paid, trying to make money on it. Or you can find a sponsor who will be ready to give good money for it.
