Outsourcing video games means delegating various development tasks to external studios, artists, and developers, from 2D or 3D animation  to character design , audio creation, programming, QA testing,  and more.

The full cycle development includes three major productive stages: pre-production, production, and post-production. Each of these, especially the production stage, requires large and highly skilled teams. Outsourcing helps to overcome many of the challenges associated with the costs and talent.

Outsourcing is essential for the modern-day video game industry. It has become a fundamental practice to keep in business, get new concepts, and compete with current and new generation gaming developments. With the growth of competition, outsourcing video games is commonplace. So now, outsourcing has become a very popular method of reducing costs and creating next-level games. Due to the vast advantages that come with it, even huge companies like Ubisoft have admitted to outsourcing aspects of their gaming projects.

Game Profitable

It depends on the objective of the client and the user, but in general terms, we could say that it is worth developing a video game for mobile phones or smartphones. After all, the vast majority of users use these devices for almost all their daily tasks, including leisure. This reason must be added to the great utility of monetization in mobile games. That is, many users pay to play and to extend their user experience, something that is beneficial for both developers and creators of the game.

Types of mobile games

The most common types of mobile games are: 

• Action
• Adventure
• Arcade
• Battle Royale
• Casual
• Card
• Role-Playing 
• MOBA – Multiplayer Online Battle Arena
• Puzzle
• Racing
• Strategy
• Sports
• Trivia
• Word

However, the different developer companies are working to create new genres and new aesthetic and game forms applicable to mobile games, creating new genres and types. That is the reason why it is very difficult to resume all full genres of mobile games, but this list is a good approach.

Mobile video games can have more or less simple programming and development. Thus, each of them has the following characteristics:

• Those considered the simplest would be those whose playability and user experience is easier, more practical and intuitive for the players, both in terms of their aesthetics, such as history, levels and feats or challenges. Here we could include casual games.
• The most complex are those to which AR (Augmented Reality) or VR (Virtual Reality) and 3D graphics have been applied in their development. They tend to be more attractive to gamers, but cannot be played on all mobile devices or smartphones.

The mobile game development process comes from the pure idea of a game, no matter which platform it can be made on. The developers analyze the idea, its characteristics and if it is possible to adapt it for mobile platforms. The next step is to build the mobile game through various stages of planning, production, testing, and launch. It is also important to perform other steps such as the storytelling, settings and characters, production, realization and monetization.
