Unit 8 – Computer Games Development


Unit Introduction

My job as a junior developer at a software company that specializes in gaming has been given the

assignment of writing a report for the company's website explaining and evaluating the impact that

existing and evolving technologies have upon the creation and fabrication of videogames in the long-

term.


Social Trends in Gaming

The social trends in gaming are impacted by the following:


Genres

The genre of computer games is determined by the type of interaction or gameplay they provide,

i.e., the games are categorised according to the type of challenges they offer, regardless of the

setting or world experience they provide. A shooter game, for example, will be a shooter game

regardless of the environment in which it is played. Despite this, there can also be a subjective

element as some games can cross multiple genres. Some of the more recent game types are as

follow:

 Action/ Shooter or FPS: There are many types of games, but First-Person Shooter (FPS) is

one of the most prominent types. FPS games allow players to engage in weapon-based

combat in a first-person perspective, for example Call of Duty falls under the action and FPS

category.

 MMO: Another genre that is quite popular in the gaming industry is the MMO, which is an

acronym for massively multiplayer online games. Multiplayer games allow players to play
