Editorial

WELCOME TO

Ladies and Gentlemen, after enjoying a successful year in 2011, with total market growth of 3.5 percent, the German game industry has had a very promising start in 2012: based on the first available data, we expect a 6 percent increase in the number of games sold in 2012. Despite a difficult market environment, PCs and consoles still account for a steady 75 percent share of the market. In particular mobile games are boosting growth (50 percent rise in games sold) along with online and browsergames. For these business models – based on item selling – ongoing expansion of the customer base can be expected. The digital distribution of games will also profit from these figures, and we expect this sector to grow by 45 percent in 2012. Including sales of PC and video games, the total revenue of the German games market in 2011 was almost 2 billion euros. This places the games industry ahead of the film and music industries in total revenues. Games are not just a part of our society but have become a leading medium of the digital society: 25 million Germans regularly play computer and video games, including 11 million women. Although women represent a high share of players there are only a few of them in our industry. It is an important task for all players in the game industry to change this. With this in mind I hope you will enjoy and gain inspiration from reading the latest issue of Key Players.

Gaming industry on trial Our industry has gotten used to Germany, as a business location, playing in the premiership. During the past years mainly the online gaming sector has been backing the German games industry. However it is common knowledge that winds can change directions quickly. The dominance of sequels shown at the E3 leads to speculations about the future of console games. Reason for this, apart from the highly increased costs of developing and marketing, might be the trend to online gaming. But the booming market of the last years has developed its own difficulties; growing competition and multitudinous releases. Listening to the voices of the industry, the future of gaming lies within »Social Gaming« and mobile platforms such as tablets and smartphones. Mobile gaming is more of a »small portions of time and game here and there«-thing, Free2play and App Stores have taught customers that gaming is (nearly) free of charge. Such a rapid progress requires the possibility to test new ideas, quickly implement new concepts and to serve new demands and trends fast. Germany has the knowledge, the people and the ideas. G.A.M.E. is proud to represent these companies and their people. And Key Players will be your guide to the German games industry.

THE GERMAN GAMES MARKET: AN INTRODUCTION

provided by

The turnover for computer and video game software amounted to a total of 1.99 billion euros in Germany in 2011. This represents an increase of 3.5 percent. The revenues are divided across three main core business fields: • Data media and downloads: sales of PC and console games as well as mobile games • Online and browser games: expenditure on subscriptions and premium accounts • Virtual items: expenditure on additional items/item selling

Follow us in this brief overview and learn about sales statistics, gender and age composition as well as the leading role of online- and browsergames in Germany. The following data about different sections of the German Market is provided by the German Trade Association of Interactive Entertainment Software (BIU) and market research company GfK Group.

The German Games Market

E H RKET A M SALE OF DATA MEDIA AND DOWNLOADS The sale of computer and video games on data media or via download represent the classic business model of the games industry.

The turnover amounted to 1.57 billion euros.

THE GER GAMES MA ONLINE- AND BROWSERGAMES

Approximately 10 percent of the games industry in Germany is generated by online and browser games, making them an integral part of the German games market. The number of German users rose by 7 percent to 15.5 million in 2011. Sales of subscriptions and premium accounts fell however by 5.6 percent to a total figure of 183 million euros. Browsergames 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 GAMES MA ITEM SELLING

Five percent of Germans over the age of ten bought virtual items for computer and video games on the internet in 2011. This includes new characters and virtual weapons for online and browsergames 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 233 million euros in 2011. This represents an increase of 70 percent when compared with 2010. 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. With these adjustments, both growth and changes in user behavior in the segment are realistically reflected.

CipSoft is an independent developer and publisher of online computer games. When founded in 2001, CipSoft’s first MMORPG called Tibia had already been online for more than 4 years. Hence Tibia is now the oldest MMORPG worldwide being online for more than 15 years without any interruption ever since. In 2003 CipSoft released its second game, called TibiaME, the first MMORPG for mobile phones worldwide. Both Tibia and TibiaME are still growing strongly until today. In 2012 CipSoft will release its third online game, called Fiction Fighters. Fiction Fighters is a browser based interactive online comic and CipSoft’s first 3D project. CipSoft’s vision is to develop and to publish innovative products that are based on new technologies. CipSoft aims to realise own ideas and to develop truly innovative products rather than to imitate existing concepts.

The renowned development studio Funatics Software was founded in 1998. Since then, Funatics has been following its central philosophy: »Games mainly need to be fun to play!« As early as 1999, Funatics landed a major coup with a conversion of the tabletop classic »The Settlers of Catan« titled »Catan: The First Island«. Hundreds of thousands of enthusiastic players proved that the game is great fun to play indeed – even over ten years after release, the game is still said to be the best board-game conversion of all time. Just one year later, »Cultures« laid the foundation for one of the most successful product lines in the company’s history: A total of seven titles appeared in the popular »Cultures« series. Funatics has developed several sequels of »TheSettlers« partly in cooperation with Blue Byte, released by Ubisoft. End of 2008, Funatics’ first NDS / PSP title was released: »Tom Clancy’s Endwar«, as well as »Die Siedler: Aufbruch der Kulturen« which laid the foundation for the first online project of Funatics: »Cultures Online« on www.cultures-online.com. Following this success Funatics has released a new browser game in 2011, based on our own network engine: »Patrician Online« combines the fun of the well-known historical trading simulation and the challenge to compete with online players. In 2012 »UFO Online: Fight for Earth« will be released, an Unity 3D based browser game, featuring the thrills of a turn-based tactical strategy game and high-class 3D graphics. UFO Online has raised frenetic applause in the international press.

The Long Island Iced Tea is a highball made with, among other ingredients, vodka, gin, tequila, and rum. A popular version mixes equal parts vodka, gin, tequila, rum, and triple sec with 11/2 parts sour mix and a splash of cola. Most variants use equal parts of the main liquors but include a smaller amount of triple sec (or other orange-flavoured liqueur). Close variants often replace the sour mix with lemon juice, replace the cola with actual iced tea, or add white crème de menthe; however, most variants do not include any tea, despite the name of the drink. Some restaurants substitute brandy for the tequila. The drink has a much higher alcohol concentration (about 22 percent) than most highballs due to the several liquors and the relatively small amount of mixer. Long islands can be ordered »extra long«, which further increases the alcohol to mixer ratio. Outside the United States, this highball is often altered, due to the unpopularity of sour mix. Long Island Iced Tea served outside the US is often made of liquors and cola alone (without sour mix), with lemon or lime juice, orange juice or with lime cordial.

It started 1995 with Blue Byte. 2001 I joined Massive Development to become project lead for the Aquanox series. 2005 saw me becoming the freelancing producer I am still today. Since then I worked for numerous companies on a wide range of projects: Atari, bitComposer, dtp, Virgin Lands & Gamigo to name a few. The most important lesson over theses years: during development pressure comes naturally. It’s not the producer’s job to create it. Use it to push the game – not the people.

We believe online / mobile games developers should be free in their product decisions and – as owners – autonomous in running their companies and their developments. And still, they should be able to share the risk of scaling up globally. European Games Group takes on all commercial functions necessary for a successful international operation, invests substantially in scaling up and driving monetization – and developers keep 100% of the IP and complete freedom in terms of production processes and other development issues, including feature decisions.

MORPHICON publishes its games portfolio under the label PETER GAMES which stands for highly innovative, cutting-edge interactive entertainment. Thanks to close collaboration with a wide range of development teams, MORPHICON was once again able to improve their market position in 2011. MORPHICON LTD. was founded in Reading, Berkshire, England in 2004, and established a branch office in Munich, Germany not long after. With the subsidiary MORPHICON MEDIA AG, founded in 2010, we are also expanding into the browser / social games market. MORPHICON is going to further grow its portfolio in 2012 while MORPHICON and PETER GAMES are going to press ahead with the digital distribution of their products and the acquisition of publishing rights for both Europe and worldwide. Since its introduction in 2008, the Peter Games Classics series has become a strong player in the market for budget games. More than 50 titles of the series can now be found in over 1,600 specialist stores and retail outlets all over Germany, and as many as 20 Peter Games Classics titles have made the top 20 of the budget charts so far. In addition to our successful budget games range, we launched three number 1 hits for PC in the full-price segment: Armed Assault, ARMA 2 and ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead.

Mix ingredients other than the 151 in a shaker with ice. Pour into glass and top with the highproof rum. Because of the high proof rum, this cocktail could be lit if desired. The Zombie is a cocktail made of fruit juices, liqueurs, and various rums, so named for its perceived effects upon the drinker. It first appeared in the late 1930s, invented by Donn Beach (formerly Ernest Raymond Beaumont-Gannt) of Hollywood’s Don the Beachcomber restaurant. It was popularized at the 1939 New York World’s Fair. Legend has it that Donn Beach originally concocted the Zombie to help a hung-over customer get through a business meeting. He returned several days later to complain that he had been turned into a zombie for his entire trip. Its smooth, fruity taste works to conceal its extremely high alcoholic content. Don the Beachcomber restaurants limit their customers to two Zombies apiece. According to the original recipe, the Zombie cocktail included three different kinds of rum, lime juice, falernum, Angostura bitters, Pernod, grenadine, and »Don’s Mix«, a combination of cinnamon syrup and grapefruit juice.

Our Expertise Germany has the world’s most binding rules for the examination and sales restrictions of computer and video games. The Unterhaltungssoftware Selbstkontrolle (USK) is the self-control body of the games industry with internationally recognized testing facilities. The USK has over fifteen years of experience in testing and rating games. The rating process is accompanied and executed by one of the Permanent Representatives of the Supreme Youth Protection Authorities of the Federal States (OLJB) and thereby an authoritative administrative act. Apart from that the USK provides consultancy services for developers and publishers of computer and video games independent from the official classification process. Therefore the client can incorporate aspects regarding youth protection relevant contents in Germany before and during the development process in a more considerate manner and include them in the marketing strategy. Advice can be sought on the design and development of an individual product in line with the relevant legislation. For providers of online game contents various services are offered to conform to the specific rules of youth protection in Germany. The USK can for example offer legal protection and active risk management when it comes to youth protection matters online. Since the founding of the USK, a worldwide unique archive of 20.000 international products has been created. More information on www.usk.de

Ahmet Iscitürk +49 (0) 911 / 274 728 85 texte@me.com www.texteatme.com

15 years in the electronic entertainment industry have taken their toll on me. I am overweight, overconfident and overachieving. Writing about games, reviewing them, writing for them, creating mock-up-reviews for studios, hammering out 250-page-tutorials in a week, translating the sh*t out of english templates – that’s what I do. Unlike my one-trick pony-competitors, my knowledge doesn’t stop with games. I’m also very into gadgets and music!

Key Strengths • In business for 15 years • I’m a risk taker: I drink milk despite my lactose intolerance • Working my ass of 24/7 and still loving it • Not only do I translate text. I translate emotions. (Yes, I came up with this myself!)

Anja Weiligmann / Spielworte Freelance Translator / Translation, Localization (English ➜ German)

Anja Weiligmann +49 (0) 2504 / 73 99 601 anja@spielworte.de www.spielworte.de

The language used in-game is a vital component in the enjoyment of a title; a translation may be technically correct, but will strike a false note if it fails to achieve the tone and feel required for the game. Other crucial factors in the success of a game are dialog that sounds authentic, language that is both clear and consistent and a good helping of humor. Besides all this, my love of language and long-standing passion for games will ensure that I provide the right German version for your title.

Key Strengths • 100+ translation projects • Translation of various genres and types of text (dialog, manuals, on-screen text, etc.) • Expertise in console-specific terminology and requirements • Linguistic testing • Knowledge of the market

Creativity, an intuitive feel for language, excellent knowledge of both the source and target languages and an expert awareness of the gaming community’s wants and needs: herein lies the winning formula for the translation of video and online games. As a native speaker with extensive linguistic qualifications and several years of experience in the field of game translation, I will ensure your game’s text and audio content is localized into a high quality Italian product.

Key Strengths • Expertise in computer games and IT specific terminology • Experience in and a passion for creative texts • Translation of various types of text (marketing texts, legal texts, press releases etc.) • Linguistic quality assurance

I started writing at age 12 and haven’t stopped yet. Douglas Adams, Stephen King and Infocom are to blame. Sometimes I make up whole worlds for games, sometimes I just edit, translate or polish all text assets of a title. I have the pleasure of composing plots and characters from scratch with many different developers. Frequently I work with major IPs. Of course, I write primarily in my native language, but I’m also fluent in English and regularly work with foreign co-authors and editors. My novels are about dragons, political affairs or school trips gone awry. When I don’t answer the phone I‘m probably running – and thinking.

Key Projects • Jack Keane 2 (story, dialogue) • Port Royale 3 (dialogue) • Drachenwächter (based on my novel) • Venetica (story, dialogue) • Treasure Island (dialogue) • Kingdom Hearts II (translation)

As I have always been an avid gamer (playing online, offline and tabletop) I really enjoy translating and editing games. I know the terminology of all common platforms as well as the language of the gamers. I translate everything from dialogues and on-screen texts to the manual, the packaging and the website to ensure a consistent and homogeneous localization. For huge projects I cooperate with other freelance translators, and due to this close teamwork we can provide completely translated and edited games projects of almost every size in a reasonable time and with ensured consistency and quality.

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

Virgin Lands embodies the search for new lands, the discovery of the unknown. Founded in 1997, we were among the first studios dedicated to developing graphics for computer games. And to this day, on-going revolutionary developments in both hardware and software mean that we continue to embrace new challenges and possibilities. We are one of today’s top service providers of computer game graphics in Germany, right across the board; from lending a unique style to the buildings of Anno 2070, through to giving faces to the characters of Risen 2. Our portfolio encompasses both big and small productions for games of all kinds: 3D and 2D assets, cinematics, trailers, box artwork and TV spots. You will have seen our work! We set your requirements firmly at the heart of what we do and we place all of our experience at your disposal. We understand games and the flexibility that is needed to create them – and people will see that in your game. Guaranteed. And even now when we find ourselves working with major advertising agencies and are producing our second full feature movie: games were the beginning; they are still today and always will be an important part of our work.
