What We Did Designed and developed a WAP-based game for GPRS networks Tested and verified at MAI and Motorola Magnet center Deployed at… »Deutsche Telekom »Ericsson GPRS Containers at >40 operators »Ericsson Local Centers »Various Operator GPRS Trials

Challenge GPRS is the carrier – how does it impact WAP applications? Consequences for the users Consequences for developers

Mobile Internet Game Development Use the strengths of mobile Internet » Mobility- Play everywhere » Access- Play anytime » Users- Play against anybody Design with the environment in mind »Different target audience »Consumer expectations »Design for the payment behaviour It’s gameplay that counts!

GPRS Impact On WAP Game Design Always Online Increased Bandwidth Different Payment Model Push User behaviour changes!

Always Online Connecting no longer takes forever Connecting is more reliable Users play more often Users play in short bursts Game must deliver instant feedback Game should stimulate frequent login

Increased Bandwith Decreased response time Shorter load time Page transitions not as tedious User don’t find graphics as slow Use graphics to enhance gameplay Utilize bandwidth where appropriate

Different Payment Model Cost based on volume, not time No initial startup fee per call User not stressed by cents ticking per minute Cost no longer an obstacle to connect Design with payment model in mind Encourage and support spontaneous use

Push If appropriate designed, may replace SMS Interact with ”not logged in” users Allow ”offline” interaction in game Use to trigger game play

Game Comparsion: GPRS vs. Non-GPRS Fight ArenaPicofun Football Designed for GPRSDesigned for traditional WAP
