Nowadays, game developers and publishers are facing a lot of challenges and risks.
Large human resource and big budget are very common for a game project. A typical
American AAA game title can cost millions of US dollars and involves hundreds of
manpower to develop. However, return of the enormous investment is not guaranteed
as most of the games are losing money. The competition in the game market is fierce.
If they miss deadline or the best release date, their competitors will very likely
pass them up quickly with competing games.
Continuous technology advancement makes it feasible to accommodate more advanced
and complicated games. Gamers are expecting high quality game and less tolerate
to buggy game. Poor quality games not only affect company reputation, but also difficult
to attract and retain players under the highly competitive game market. It further
increases the development time and cost.
On the other hand, the game development technology is severely inefficient. Game
designers and artists have to wait long hours before they can see their work in
the game. There are very few design and art iterations due to the long asset pipeline
data processing and non-native tools. This leads to long development time and huge
manpower resource. Game developers are demanding more efficient game development
tools.
