The Open Gaming Alliance (OGA), a non-profit association focused on the games industry business, today announced Nexosis, the start-up providing a machine learning solution to detect and combat cheating in games, as the latest company to become a Corporate Member.

Nexosis joins other industry leaders such as Intel, Dell/Alienware, Logitech, Razer, Unity, Webroot, Lenovo and the recently announced Ubisoft in supporting the OGA’s efforts to provide leadership and opportunities; and encourage growth and diversity within the games business ecosystem.

Utilizing state-of-the art machine learning to combat cheating is less invasive, achieves higher detection rates and requires lower administrative costs than traditional signature-based anti-cheat systems. Nexosis enables software developers to easily leverage such machine learning solutions for new or existing applications.

“Games today are big business representing big dollars, which attracts more innovative ways to try to game the system,” said Ryan Sevey, CEO and co-founder of Nexosis. “Joining the OGA enables us to work with the best game publishers and studios to combat this threat while providing developers with improved anti-cheating solutions.”   

As the leading organization focused on the business of the games industry, The Open Gaming Alliance provides an array of resources to its members, ranging from research and best-practice guidance; to marketing support and networking with some of the industry’s premier middleware and hardware providers, and publishers. Founded in 2008, the organization has evolved to cover multiple platforms and operating systems; maintaining its primary goals of strengthening and promoting the community around all game platforms while providing a unified voice.

“In this era of virtual goods and micro-transactions, in-game marketplaces and esports, it becomes increasingly challenging to anticipate and detect intrusion,” said Drew Johnston, OGA president. “Nexosis is forward-thinking in its approach to security, and offers our members great insight into the latest big data and machine learning solutions that can potential cut costs and increase player satisfaction.”

The Blueprint for Growth report, commissioned by Ukie, sets out recommendations that will grow the UK games industry by £1bn by 2020

A new report, commissioned by games trade body Ukie, launches at a high-level Parliament event today. The Blueprint for Growth report sets out a series of recommendations for the decision makers in UK parliament that will see the industry grow by an estimated £1bn by 2020. The report can be read in full here.

The independent report, conducted by Olsberg SPI on behalf on the trade body, is based on a series of consultations with over 40 stakeholders from across industry and government. It also includes a literature review of over 60 reports, evaluations, and policy proposal documents, relating to both the UK and the global games industry.

The Blueprint tracks the evolution of the UK games industry since the 1980s, demonstrating the fast-evolving business models unique to the sector, and the perfect blend of British creativity and innovations in technology used by games businesses that have helped the UK become one of the most successful games exporters in the world.

The report also identifies a number of market failures that the sector faces which threaten the global competitiveness and standing of the UK games industry, as well as its potential to spill over and transfer knowledge, skills and innovation to other creative digital sectors. It follows with a series of recommendations that will collectively lead to the UK games sector contributing another £1bn annually to the British economy.

These recommendations include:

1. UK and EU funding to fully and equitably recognise the contribution of games, ensuring effective support alongside other creative industries
2. Support regional growth, FDI and exports across the UK
3. Grow, attract and retain the best talent
4. Create the best tax environment and digital marketplace to do business worldwide
5. Promote games-as-culture and celebrate cutting-edge UK innovation

Each of these key recommendations is cemented with realistic actions that parliament members can take to ensure that the recommendations are satisfied. The fulfilling of these recommendations, the report states, will create more economic return in the games industry and create an environment that allows start-up games businesses to flourish.

The Blueprint for Growth Report will be officially launched at Ukie’s Annual Westminster Reception on Tuesday 03 November. The evening reception will be the culmination of the trade body’s first Westminster Video Games Industry Day, where leading names in the UK games industry will visit Parliament for a day of activity designed to showcase successes of the industry, and lobby and educate MPs to the needs of the sector. Minister of State for Culture and Digital Economy Ed Vaizey will deliver a keynote speech at the event to an audience of MPs, Ukie members and key stakeholders.

Other key figures from the report include:

    21 million people play games in the UK
    The UK’s games market is currently worth £3.944bn
    44% of UK games players are female; 22% are aged 45-64
    There are 1,900 games companies in the UK
    There are twelve established clusters throughout the UK, from Dundee to Leamington Spa to Bristol, and six further areas with critical mass
    95% of games companies are SMEs with clear potential for growth

Dr Jo Twist, CEO of Ukie, said “The UK Games industry blends the best of British creativity with leading technology, creating successful games exported around the world. It’s great to see this report unequivocally recognise this and show that games is now one of the UK’s major creative sectors, a source of economic growth and a mainstream part of British culture.

Government already recognises that the games sector can help meet their ambitions for increasing prosperity in the regions and doubling UK exports and the report outlines how this can be achieved. This can only be achieved by working in partnership with industry, looking globally but acting locally to maximise the potential of the UK sector in a digitally connected global marketplace.”

Chris White, MP for Warwick and Leamington, and Chair of APPG for Video Games, said, “The Blueprint for Growth report raises a number of important questions when considering support for the games sector in the UK in the years ahead.  As Chair of the APPG on Video Games, and the MP for an area with a rapidly expanding games industry, I know just how important it is to support the sector.

I hope that the Government will take note of the findings of the report and that we can all work together to ensure that the UK games industry grows on the world stage, taking as much of the projected 7.9% annual growth rate in global revenues as possible.”

Noirin Carmody, COO and owner of Revolution Software, and Chair of the Ukie Board, said, “This Blueprint for Growth report highlights the fantastic successes of our innovative and fast-moving sector, and outlines how the Government can act to help our industry continue to grow and flourish. The recommended interventions will help the sector grow and create the perfect environment for the UK to become the world’s leading destination for games development.”

Andrew Barnes, Associate Director of Olsberg SPI, said, “This report represents a comprehensive overview of the state of the UK games industry, and highlights the tremendous growth of the sector over the last few years.  In conducting this report, the consultancy Olsberg SPI interviewed stakeholders across industry and the public sector, undertaking an independent evaluation of their perspectives together with researching a broad range of other data. We look forward to seeing where the UK games industry will be by 2020 if the recommendations set out in this report are followed.”

Games leasing platform www.gamatier.com launches today

John Esslemont and his team are ready to change the games distribution landscape. Publishing and Development distribution platform Gamatier launches today.

Gamatier is a brand new product that lets online and mobile games Publishers and Developers lease games, alongside options to buy. Listing hundreds of different titles, Gamatier will offer bespoke usage options to suit both parties, with Publishers able to decide how they want to access to a game and Developers able to retain ownership. The platform has been created by Developers who studied with Train2Game and have credited the course provider as essential in their game development journey.

Publishers and Developers can now lease and manage games for use on Android through the platform, with iOS, Windows and online, arriving soon. The platform and embedded SDK are completely changing the traditional model of selling games, empowering both Publishers and Developers with real time management, advertising, analytics and distribution tools.

The website and SDK have been created by a UK Development team who studied with Games Development course provider Train2Game. Their aim is to create a more effective way of distributing and managing online games. The applications of Gamatier are huge for the games industry. The platform has now launched, the team are planning rapid expansion and currently seeking investment to take the platform to the next level.

John Esslemont, Founder, Gamatier, ‘Gamatier is a real time App management service unlike anything out on the market. With our services we allow game publishers to buy games directly from our ecommerce store, but unlike others that just sell games or source codes, we will also offer the ability for buyers to be able to control aspects of their game in real time via our custom built dashboard.’
‘Along with Sales and source code we also opened up Leasing which allows people to lease games for a period of 3 months +. There are 2 types of leasing, Standard and Premium.’

‘Standard leasing is only for the WebGL platform which is now being used hugely and still growing rapidly in the web arcade business. WebGL will soon be able to be played directly in internet browsers and directly on phones without the need to download.’

‘Premium Leasing is for all platforms, Android, iOS, WebGL, & Windows Phone. When a buyer leases a premium game they are the sole user of that game for the period they purchased, They will take control off that game even if it has been downloaded or played 500K times before, they gain the game, the users, the publicity of the game, they become the owners of that game so to speak on their chosen platform. So not only can they leases a premium game they can also lease it with either 0 downloads or 500K downloads depending on the game!’

‘Buyers can control, when and where ads show, change their branding, enable analytics. They can also advertise other games they own within the games they buy from us to cross promote them for free. There is also GT Ads which is an internal ad network that we have built, that will advertise games that have purchased from us in other users games across our network which will help each other gain more downloads and in turn more revenue.’

‘With all of our current services we allow the main aspects of games to be changed anytime, this is very use full for publishers, as without the need to code and take the long process of updating games and re-uploading their games, they can change values in our dashboard for their game and see the changes happen straight away.’ 

‘For Developers this is also a very lucrative market for them as now not only can they sell games or soon source code, they can also lease their games to make residual income month over month.

Train2Game News 3D Scans to video game characters

Posted on by

3D graphics startup Uraniom has unveiled their new platform that turns raw 3D scans into playable video game avatars, giving life to the longstanding dream of millions of gamers.

Creating a 3D scan was once a complex and expensive operation. Today, the technology is widely available thanks to solutions such as the Occipital Structure Sensor, which already works with many mobile devices, the Intel® RealSense™ R200 which is about to be found in various flagship tablets, and lastly, in the future for regular smartphones with an app-based scanning approach by Dacuda. Uraniom is partnering with these leading 3D scanning companies to create playable life-like avatars.

“Until now, integrating a new video game character required the expertise and manual operation of a 3D specialist,” explains Nicolas Hériveaux, the Co-Founder and CTO of Uraniom. “To make matters worse, this process is completely different for each game because there is no industry standard. Our mission was to find out how we can transform a manual, time-consuming and expert-only operation into an automated, fast and easily-accessible process. I believe with our platform we have done just that.”

When the founding team of Uraniom began working on this project almost one year ago, the technical challenges seemed impossible to tackle. After months of prototyping and hundreds of scans tested on various games, the Uraniom team is excited to release their technology to the public.

Through the Uraniom platform, users now have the ability to add a 3D scan, create an avatar and integrate it into one of the compatible games. The new character will work with all of the game’s native animations and moves.

“We know how hard it is to develop a video game,” explains Loïc Ledoux, the Co-Founder and CEO of Uraniom. “From the very beginning, our goal was to avoid any interference with the workflow of game studios. Yet we still wanted to keep the avatar installation process as straightforward as possible for the users.”

The overwhelmingly positive feedback and excitement shown by testers of the early prototype have been highly encouraging for the Uraniom team. As it turns out, playing with a photorealistic digital copy of oneself in game allows for an unprecedented level of immersion.

Petr Benýšek, the CTO of Bohemia Interactive, who has been following the project very closely said that “this is a new turning point reached for the relation between the player and the game world”. He added that at Bohemia, “we always support our amazing community and love to see what people are able to create on top of our games. It’s been a pleasure to assist the Uraniom team who has used that capability to bring this exciting new technology to the whole Arma 3 community.”

Uraniom will showcase the platform at the Paris Games Week (October 28th to November 1st), and will release the public beta on November 13th. For more information visit: uraniom.co

Train2Game News Student studio on the hunt for Artists

Posted on by

Train2Game student Josh Procter and his friend William Marsden have created their own studio and are now on the hunt for artists to join them

Friends Josh and Will have created SVS games and released their first game.  They are now looking to recruit team members to work on the next seven titles they have planned.

Josh is currently studying Train2Game which has helped their collaboration. Both plan to use the studio to work together but also have individual aspirations in the games industry. They are interested in the creative side of gaming and love to come up with ideas.

Since releasing their first game, Marathon, both are really excited with what they created and what more they can do. They sort industry advice in creating Marathon and it was received well. The studio was created in 2015 but the pair have collaborated for some time. Both live in West Yorkshire.  

The guys are now on the lookout for artists to join the team as they have a growing list of games planned for the future. They are on the lookout for people who are: productive, passionate and have personality.

Train2Game interviewed the guys to hear about their projects

Please introduce yourselves, what course you are on and where you are from? 　

Josh: Hi. My name is Josh Procter. I’m from Bradford, West Yorkshire. I’m just on the back end of the T2G Designer course.

Will: My name is William Marsden, I’m from Dewsbury, West Yorkshire. I graduated Teesside University in November 2014 with a BA in Computer Games Design (2:1)

What is the name of your studio and who are the members?

Will: Myself and Josh came together in early 2015 to form SVS Games.

Josh: Yeah. Me and Will have been working together for a while but officially SVS Games was created early 2015.

What was the idea behind the name of the studio?

Josh: SVS means Samurai vs Spartan. Because Will is totally into Murmillo fighting and I am a born Samurai with my years of sword training.

Will: Well it’s our aim to make the kinds of games that we both loved as kids. SVS Games is a way we can showcase our game development skills to attract potential employers, whilst still trying to make our mark on the Indie game world.

Are you enjoying Train2Game and are your studies going well?

Josh: I’ll field this. I’m loving the T2G course, but I’m a very busy guy. The only reason I haven’t finished yet!

What do you hope to gain from taking the course?

Josh: Well, I personally want to write the games myself. And this has given me the skills to write better and create them. Which teams me and Will perfectly.

What is your dream in terms of working in the games industry?

Will: Well I have lots of ideas for pretty huge games. So ideally I’d want to be in a position where I can bring those ideas to life, a creative direction position seems the best position to do that.

Josh: I just really want to be the writing force behind those games. I’m an ideas man. I drift off and let myself come up with new ideas.

So what has it been like completing your first game?

Will: It has been fantastic, We have been working together to make some really involved design work for potential future games, I received some advice from a local Indie Developer to just release something small to get our names out there. Once it was out there and we got over the shock that something we had worked on was out there for everyone, the ball really started to roll and we’re well on the way to our next release.

Josh: It has been kick-butt honestly. I love working with Will and to be able to sit there after it was out, we both sort of looked at each other like “wow, we have a game for sale”
Big stuff man. Big stuff.

Can you tell us about Marathon, what were the challenges in creating this game?

Will: I think my biggest issue was keeping it small. Josh and I have this terrible problem where we keep trying to add too much to something and make more work for ourselves.

Josh: Me and Will cannot help adding more. We sat there with a product we were happy with and then went. LET’S DO MORE!
　
How has it been received?

Will: Actually pretty well considering it was just a quiet release by two guys who hadn’t really done anything before. I keep checking it and we have a nice steady stream of viewers and downloads. We are yet to have a negative comment, so I count that as a win.　

Josh: It’s going nice actually. Neither of us was expecting to make the next big thing. But we wanted to get our names out there and this game is a really nice little start.

Why did you choose to release on Windows?

Will: Honestly because it would be the quickest turnover from development to release. We’re currently looking at releasing on other platforms, including android via Google Play.

And what are you working on next, I hear you have another title in the pipeline?

Will: I like to stay busy and yeah, Josh and I are always working on something. I think the current count is at 6 or 7 games planned for the future or in development at the moment.

Josh: When we started, we had one MASSIVE game in the pipeline, with completed design documents and pitch documents. But we realized it’s far too big a project to start with. We came up with 3 small games to start with, which turned to 4 and so on. I think the count is 7 at the moment. But last night me and Will discussed another one.

And you are on the hunt for developers to join the team and assist with the project, artists and animators?

Will: Most definitely, Artists and Animators are always in demand in the games industry and we’re no different.
　
Josh: In the future, yeah I’d love to take on some new people! But I think we’re just starting out and maybe another one or two people to work with. They’d have to be into swords.

What are you looking for in new team members? What character traits?

Will: Someone who works hard, likes to swap and share ideas and someone who is above all else, passionate about gaming.
　
Josh: I think after years of work. I cannot stand people who half-arse jobs. I really don’t want to sound like a grumpy boss but people have to pull their weight. I just finished moving and lost my entire internet but I still did everything I could to push our projects forward.
Aside from that, they’d need a great personality and to have a laugh.

Is joining the studio a good opportunity, and why?

Will: I would definitely say so. Opportunities to work with other game developers is beneficial for everyone involved, we all share the work load and each get an equal share of the credit. Most employers look for people who have game development experience. The best way by far to do that is to release some games.

Josh: Exactly. I’d love to have some other people working with us. It’s always a good idea to make your own things. Think how indie developers get massive. It’s all about content and quality. You put your heart into a game and it might end up being the next big thing. I think for myself and Will, it’s not about getting famous or super rich, it’s about creating the games that people will lose themselves in. I can’t get over massive moments in games that I go back to thinking about years later. I still have the DmC3 cut scenes on my phone that I watch monthly.

What are the plans for the studio? 　

Will: We are both going to continue to working on games together until we catch the eye of an employer or we start making enough money to make a career of making games for SVS Games full time.

Josh: Keep releasing content. Keep having fun.
