HA1 Task 5 - Trends

Task 5 – Trends


One of the most dominant trends in the gaming industry in the last decade is apps. There are now as many apps as games in just 3 years (excluding flash and java). Most developers look for publishers that are able to support them and their ideas, and still continue. A financial plan will help here a lot.

Franchised IP
A franchised IP (intellectual property) is a creation of the mind, or more known as imagination.  You can do lots of things such as a novel and with a simple © and the year you made it E.G. 2013, then your name. It’s yours and always will be unless sold, or already taken by someone else. Under this copy right law nobody else is allowed to use this item unless asked, if not the law permits that you are allowed to sue. Copy right law is there so no one is able to take your idea since it is you head, and not theirs.

Serialised Original IP
A serialised IP is something that is something made from nothing, or something made from another idea, hence Max Payne is made from, Mickey Spillane. Max Payne has turned into a multi-million organization, from games to movies; this is an easier way to make something instead of starting from your own imagination, even though it will require some thinking.
