Project Planning:

The initial stage of the project involves planning the project as a whole. The high-level plan for the project should be reviewed with special attention given to the Pre-Alpha and Alpha milestones.
Pre-Alpha:

In this stage, a final report/TDD summarizing the results of the game engine evaluation should be prepared. Additionally, a basic porting of platform-dependent engine features should be completed. Finally, a basic, functioning launcher should be developed to allow the user to choose between the two games and open the first scene for both should be developed.
Alpha:

In the Alpha stage, the games should be able to be played without missing any features. They should be able to be played from start to finish with no progression bugs and be 100% open for testing by the client’s QA. Save/Load functionality should be implemented and functional. The game should satisfy the level of agreed stability (playable for 10 hours with no crashes).
Beta:

In the Beta stage, platform-dependent online features should be implemented and multiple region support should be provided. The game should be fully submissions compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions

To "port" a game means to adapt it for use on a different platform. This involves making adjustments so that the game can run smoothly and efficiently according to the specifications of the new platform. Depending on the platform, the goal is either to maintain the original performance or to improve it, if the new platform is more powerful. This process requires developers to consider various factors, such as the technological capabilities and limitations of the new platform, as well as the rules and requirements for certification in stores like PlayStation, Nintendo, and Xbox. Games can be prepared for multiple platforms during development or after the initial release on a specific platform. For example, a PC game developer may decide to expand their audience by releasing the game on consoles.

The process of game porting is quite intricate and requires significant expertise and time. Along the way, several challenges may arise. Initially, game developers must ensure the game can function on the target platform. In some cases, the original tools used may not support the new platform, and thus, the code must be rewritten in a different language that is compatible with the platform. The subsequent step involves adding suitable graphics support, which entails creating a standard interface for all platforms by extracting the graphics calls. Developers must then assess how the game performs and make changes as necessary for the new platform. They must also focus on game performance, which presents challenges such as CPU performance, shaders throughput, fill rate, etc. Once these issues have been resolved, developers must adjust the controls to suit the new platform, and adapt the interface to fit the size of the new screen. They must also alter the resolution and ensure that the text on the screen is legible. Additionally, each platform has its certification requirements that the game must meet. These are merely a few of the challenges that porting developers may face.

To start game porting, it's crucial to thoroughly understand the different platforms and their unique requirements. If you're new to video game porting, it's recommended that you gain experience before attempting it. For example, to port a game to a console, you'll need a special dev kit, which can only be obtained by becoming an official developer for that specific platform and adhering to its rules. Certification is also required for the game to be released, which involves testing for technical compliance with platform standards. It's not uncommon for developers to receive multiple rejections before certification, with each review taking weeks to complete.

If you want to transfer your video game to a different platform, it's best to consider outsourcing game porting services. There are several advantages to game porting outsourcing: 1. Specialization and experience. The outsourcing company has expertise in video game porting and knows how to do it correctly without errors, ensuring a guaranteed release on the platforms you need. The company also has experience in video game development, so they know how to carry out the project without errors and with a guaranteed launch on the necessary platforms. 2. Significant savings. Outsourcing game porting companies offer lower prices compared to doing the porting yourself. They know where to start and how to approach porting for different platforms, so they can work immediately without downtime. Outsourcing game porting saves time and money, as the process can be lengthy and costly, but outsourcing teams have the experience to perform these tasks efficiently, competitively, and economically. 3. Efficiency. Outsourcing tasks, including game porting, frees up resources to solve other issues and perform more urgent work. Your porting company's technicians will handle all the tasks, allowing you to focus on other, more pressing tasks and goals.
