Exciting times here at Sgame Pro! On 15th January 2019, our Closed Beta app will be released.

So, if you’re interested on testing the app first-hand, make sure to submit your request here: http://bit.ly/2FpIQZF

Why are we releasing a Closed Beta version?

In the games industry it is very common for companies to release Closed Beta versions (either platforms and/or games). There are a few reasons for that:

SERVERS STABILITY AND PERFORMANCE

It is essential to make sure the servers are stable and ready to take a certain number of users. High-standard playability parameters are key — we don’t want a platform with performance issues.

FIX BUGS

Users interested in becoming beta testers are, generally speaking, known for spending a lot of effort on finding bugs and look for ways to exploit the system, especially in the first few weeks.

That is exactly one of the main purposes of a Closed Beta, having the time to find and fix possible critical bugs before the official launch.

COMMUNITY FEEDBACK

Products are indeed developed for the customer. So, Closed Beta versions do have an exponential value when it comes to collecting initial feedback from the community. Who better than them to realize needs and wants?

Find more information in our Forum and participate on the discussions!

We at Sgame Pro have all those concerns in mind and find it extremely important to deliver a platform which everyone can be proud of:

• The users: who we want to make sure enjoy the app’s whole set of features
• Sgame Pro staff: those amazing professionals who work day and night, weekends and holidays, to meet deadlines and deliver a high-quality product
• Sgame Pro shareholders: the company investors, either institutional or individual, who believe in the project and the professionals

The mobile gaming sector is growing quicker than Usain Bolt racing a cheater! Turns out, the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region loves waving weapons and defeating enemies on-the-go as the concentration of smartphone gamers is highest there than anywhere else in the world. In fact, the APAC region is expected to account for 52% of the total global gaming revenue for 2018, representing a 16.8% year-on-year increase, according to the 2018 Global Games Market Report by Newzoo. Now that’s pretty impressive!

Economic Growth in South-East Asia Drives Mobile Game Revenue

South East Asia is rapidly becoming a hub for the rising mobile gaming market. Not up on your geography? Well, this means that countries including Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, East Timor, Brunei, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam are all flying the mobile gaming flag. Go Asia! Although the region has been associated with a tumultuous past, it is growing at a rapid rate of more than 5% per year, making it the world’s ninth largest economy.

Rising economic growth and efficient internet penetration are playing a significant role in mobile gaming popularity. Many big gaming companies from China, Korea and Japan have concentrated their efforts on this market, due to its accessibility and flourishing gaming culture. Western companies too have found growth potential here, as the internal markets have yet to be ravaged by homegrown players.

Prevalence of Smartphone and Mobile Infrastructure

Let’s not beat around the bush. Smartphones are addictive, not only in the Western world but in the Asia-Pacific region too. For many, smartphones are the first and only devices that provide access to the internet and gaming. In other words, many inhabitants weren’t brought up in a console-gaming culture where transitioning to mobile gaming is actually a ‘thing.’

In addition, people are increasingly using tablets to play games. It is estimated that 287.1 million tablets were used actively in the region in 2017, a 24.2% increase from the previous year. On the other hand, smartphone gamers also increased to 341.8 million in 2017, from 321.8 million in 2016. Some of the biggest gaming publishers, such as Nintendo and Namco Bandai, have established offices in Japan, which is also incidentally the second largest gaming market in the region.

For Singapore-based IGG, the Asia-Pacific region remains a big contributor, generating 49% of the company’s 2017 sales. The company has found a huge gamer base in countries like Indonesia, China and Vietnam.

Advantages of Rising Smartphone Use in the APAC Region

Increasing smartphone usage in this area has fuelled the mobile gaming market. These smartphones are basically awesome little pocket computers offering an enhanced user experience. Consumer requirements for e-sports are being easily met by real-time multiplayer games. Gamers are also having a lot of fun by simply connecting their devices to the cloud. They can play a game, pause it, customise it to the local dialect and even play games across multiple devices via the cloud. At the same time, lesser time and costs associated with developing mobile games is propelling the industry forward.

With the advent of blockchain technology in the mobile gaming space, in-game economies are getting much more transparent and secure. Sgame Pro™ is a mobile game aggregator that is developing a platform based on blockchain to allows gamers to play single-player games in asynchronous multi-player formats.

Some gamers internalise their excitement, quietly obliterating baddies on their morning commute. Others are a bit more vocal and may get a few odd stares from fellow train passengers, colleagues or wherever they happen to be gaming. Techniques, strategies and indeed reactions differ from person-to-person, so the question is — what type of mobile gamer are you?

Let’s take a look at some examples:

1. The Casual Gamer

The casual gamer likes to kill time during the office commute or while they wait for their turn to see the doctor. They don’t really care about genre, as long as they’re entertained and engaged. A simple puzzle could do nicely one day followed by a complex strategy game the next. Casual gamers simply enjoy a bit of light fun when they’ve nothing better to do.

If you think this is outright demeaning to hard-working game publishers, fret not! Casual gamers are actually one of the primary reasons for the flourishing mobile game industry spending a significant timeon a variety of different gaming genres.

2. The Hardcore Gamer

Hardcore gamers live and breathe mobile games. They take titles and progress very seriously, and frequently get frustrated about not having enough “lives” to complete a level. They are often seen playing a game amidst dinner conversations, much to the displeasure of their friends and family. They stay constantly updated about new upgrades, releases and plan their schedule accordingly. Hardcore gamers are also most likely to be the ones who keep sending ‘gaming tools’ and ‘extra lives’ requests to your friends on their social media profiles. Gamers of this kind also develop amazing hand-eye coordination and dexterity. Minor smartphone glitches can induce a major panic attack.

3. The Professional Gamer

Professional gamers are like hardcore gamers but with superior gaming skills and planning tendencies. They earn money from the sector and focus on the mechanics of the game they are playing; constantly striving to improve their performance. Publishers approach professional gamers to live stream their games or to find technical errors and bugs in their apps. Such gamers can even end up being a social influencer for gamer publishers, using their apparel to drive sales. Professionals often participate in various competitive events with other players. Like hardcore gamers, they always keep track of the latest releases.

4. The Social Gamer

Social gamers love to play multiplayer games with friends and family. They usually associate playing a game, indoor or outdoors, with building relationships. They plan get-togethers around important game releases. If you are one of them, you might have made plenty of friends in your gaming circles. You like to discuss game related trivia and new releases with friends. This type of gamer is also highly competitive. They get a sense of achievement when they win against friends and family.

5. The Midcore Gamer

The midcore gamer is talented but does not often spend a significant time playing the latest games. They dabble in gaming when they’re in the mood and take it seriously when they do. Midcore gamers usually have a favourite game genre which they stick to. This category incidentally accounts for a good chunk of players, who might have been hardcore previously, but have limited their playing time for various reasons.

Whichever category you belong to, Sgame Pro™ has something for everyone. Come visit us at sgamepro.io or follow the latest updates on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn.

Legendary Japanese game developer, Konami, recently announced that its main platform would be primarily dedicated to mobile games. Gasp! This revelation created huge shockwaves among fans but considering that smartphone games dominated global gaming revenues in 2017 is this news really so surprising?

Smartphone technologies are improving at a tremendously fast rate but the question is — does the mobile gaming industry have what it takes to surpass the undeniable popularity of gaming consoles in the long run? Let’s delve deeper.

A Change in Gamer Demographics

What was earlier regarded as a socially isolating activity is turning out to be a family-centric one instead. It is has been observed that the first generation of gamers (today’s parents) who grew up on video games, are eager to pass on the tradition to their children.

Kids are playing games at home with their mum and dad — pretty cool, right? According to research conducted by Nickelodeon, 34% of children under 11 have a tablet and are gearing up for smartphones as they reach secondary school. This generation is interested in playing games on the school bus — and why wouldn’t they be? Games like Moshi Monsters, Bin Weevils and Angry Birds are fun and engaging. Even adults commuting to work play games on their smartphones to make the commute more enjoyable.

Evolution in Smartphone Technology

While it is true that console gaming and mobile gaming overlap in many areas, they still serve different markets. Hardcore gamers will argue that smartphones lack technologies like gesture detection and motion sensing that come with console games. Casual gamers will reply that smartphones support technologies like location-based games and gyroscope-aided games that consoles can’t mimic.

If you talk about consoles having raw power, bigger display sizes with high definition image resolution and enhanced storage availability, you must also consider that VR glasses, cloud storage and other improved alternatives are foraying into the scene, which could make smartphone games superior than their console counterparts. In fact, according to the CEO of Ubisoft, Yves Guillemot, from the next generation onwards, cloud gaming on remote devices like smartphones and tablets, will replace console gaming.

Sgame Pro™ Gears Up For the Mobile Gaming Revolution

Ubisoft, like Konami, has also undergone a paradigm shift in recent times focusing on mobile as well as console gaming. The group has made it clear that they will be concentrating on live streaming multiplayer games that encourage recurring spending and greater engagement rates, instead of releasing new games. This is somewhat similar to what leading mobile game aggregator, Sgame Pro™ aims to achieve through its upcoming token sale.

Through blockchain technology, the Sgame Pro™ project will enable players to opt for traditionally single-player games in asynchronous multi-player formats, with the SGM token lying at the core of every transaction made on the platform. Online gaming economies are already riddled with problems of ownership and item-fraud. Sgame Pro™ will use the immutable distributed ledger technology to bring in transparency and do away with the need to spend fiat currencies on its platform.

This doesn’t mean that gamers will stop using consoles altogether. We are far from that scenario. But the average millennial today is hugely dependent on smartphones for entertainment purposes, and products like the Apple Watch and Android Wear show promise in enhancing these experiences.

There’s no doubt that the mobile gaming industry is becoming exceptionally awesome and is powering forward at a rapid rate.
