Editorial

WELCOME TO

Ladies and Gentlemen, Highlights and lowlights: though our industry is facing some challenges, the last few years also have been a success story for digital games in many respects – especially in Germany: the proportion of players in the population has increased tremendously. Almost every second German plays digital games today. A few years ago only 20 percent were playing. Digital games are becoming more and more a normal part of everybody’s life, just like books and movies. There are several reasons for this development: One is the ongoing trend that the production and story of new games closely match Hollywood blockbusters. Significantly more realistic graphics, precise motion-capturing and more mature storylines: The games of the next years will reach a level of detail that never before has been possible. This year’s main theme of gamescom »Ready to play – Discover new Worlds« picks up this trend. Combined with the other mega trends of our industry, e.g. towards open game worlds players discover new worlds each time they play digital games with significantly more freedom for the player to experience their own adventure, which is not possible on other media. Mobile and online games are – not only but also – a part of the gaming industry where German developers belong to the best in the world. But why are these games so successful? The answer is easy: the developers make great games and these games are played on platforms people already possess.

Welcome to Key Players! The German games market represents approximately 5.5% of the whole market of interactive gaming content. By this, Germany is one of the leading markets to sell products in the world. Moreover, Germany as a country in the center of Europe provides an excellent infrastructure to market products all over Europe and it is the door to the former Russian federation. It is no surprise that gamescom is the leading trade fair in Europe, and even more, the leading fair in the world. But markets are changing and therefore the digital distribution channels will succeed more and more. The government of Germany released a program called »Digital Agenda«. Its goal: Germany will be the leading digital nation in Europe. The most recent companies in the digital games industry are summarized here in »Key Players«, the well-established compendium of the German games industry. We as the biggest Gaming-Association with more than 70 members assigned are working to reach the goal to create one of the most established and best places to create games in the world.

THE GERMAN GAMES MARKET: AN INTRODUCTION

The German games industry recorded sales of computer and video games totaling 69.5 million units in 2013. This represents a decrease of six percent on the previous year. The turnover of computer and video games software in 2013 in Germany totaled 1.82 billion euros. These revenues are distributed over three core business fields: • Boxed games and downloads: sale of games for PC and consoles as well as mobile games • Online and browser games: expenditures for subscriptions and premium accounts • Downloadable content: expenditures for additional items / item selling

Revenues from computer and video games software totaled 1.82 billion euros on the German market in 2013. With a share of 1.470 billion euros, the classic sale of physical or downloaded games (games for mobile consoles, smartphones & tablets included) still comprises the lion’s share of revenues. Newer business models, such as fees for subscriptions and premium accounts (online and browser games) or expenditure on game expansions and additional items (downloadable content) make up about 19 percent of total revenues.

The selling of computer and video games – physical or by download – represents the classic business model of the games industry. The consumer acquires a software license that entitles him to use a certain game. During 2013 in Germany 69.5 million games for PC, consoles and mobile devices such as mobile telephones, handhelds or smartphones were sold. This represents a turnover of 1.47 billion euros.

THE GER GAME MA ONLINE- AND BROWSER GAMES

16.3 million Germans played online and browser games in 2013, making them an integral part of the German games market. This number rose from 14 million in 2012, and with it the revenues from online and browser game fees from 124 million euros in 2012 to a total figure of 139 million euros in 2013. Browser games refer to internet games which are played directly using the web browser or in a social network. Online games are games which are played mainly or exclusively on the internet and require a previous program installation on the computer. Not included is turnover from the sales of virtual items.

THE GER GAME MA ITEM SELLING

Virtual items include new characters and virtual weapons for online and browser games as well as additional playing levels for games which were acquired by data media or download. Turnover for virtual items amounted to a total of 209 million euros in 2013. This represents a decline by 7.5 percent from 226 million in 2012. Against the background of the increasing dynamics of digital business models, the statistical methods used in the co-operation between BIU and GfK to measure turnover of virtual items have been adjusted. For the year 2010, this resulted in an increase in expenditure on virtual items from 73 million euros to 137 million euros. The turnover on virtual items of 233 million euros in 2011 thus increased by 70 percent compared to the previous year. In 2013 the turnover, however, saw a decrease for the second year in a row; after a slight drop in 2012 to 226 million euros it dropped further to 209 million euros.

For example, with the Cultures Series, Funatics created the new genre of »Adventure Strategy Games«. Here we manage to combine building strategy game mechanisms with exciting stories and adventures that the protagonists are undergoing. In 2014 we started maintaining and marketing our online games by ourselves with relevant partners.

Our Expertise With Albion Online we want to offer players a true MMO experience whose scope and depth extend to cross-platform play. Whether on Windows, Linux, Mac, Android or iOS, all players will play at the same time on the same main server. The core vision of Albion Online is to deliver fresh, exciting gameplay while at the same time also taking players back to the very roots of the MMO genre. In keeping with this vision, we have completely done away with classes in this open sandbox world. Instead, players are defined by the items they carry and the armor they wear. Another point of emphasis is our belief in the importance of a meaningful connection between player and game; as such, failure in Albion Online truly creates feelings of loss, which in return make any form of victory feel like a true reward.

Lingoona Grammar Library Each language has its own specific features that usually need to be considered when developing a game (e.g. position of nouns’ adjectives, changes of spelling according to word order, gender and meaning, case forming, etc.). The Lingoona Grammar Library does all of this work automatically, saving valuable development time and resources and without forcing you to use additional toolchains or file formats. Key Features: • API that creates grammatically correct sentences in real-time, using dynamically supplied text blocks and placeholder texts that are assembled and adjusted on the fly before shown on the screen of the user. • Provides developers and translators with numerous options for flexible adaptation of texts and text blocks. • No additional toolchains required to use or translate texts – use the file formats or loaders you are familiar with. • Optional built-in name generator creates proper names from supplied nouns and adjectives. (e.g. for randomized objects, livings, etc.) • Very small, fast and simple API that can be integrated directly into the game (full source code in C++, cross-platform compatible, about 200 KB/language, supporting more than 10,000 requests/sec.) • Available in 6 languages: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian

Place lime and sugar into an old fashioned glass and muddle (mash the two ingredients together using a muddler or a wooden spoon). Fill the glass with crushed ice and add the Cachaça. A wide variety of fresh fruits can be used in place of lime. In the absence of cachaça, vodka can be used, making a caipiroska. Served on the rocks; poured over ice. Caipirinha is Brazil’s national cocktail, made with cachaça (sugar cane hard liquor), sugar and lime. Cachaça is Brazil’s most common distilled alcoholic beverage (also known as Pinga or Caninha). Both rum and cachaça are made from sugarcane-derived products. Specifically with cachaça, the alcohol results from the fermentation of sugarcane juice that is afterwards distilled.
