I developed my first cross-platform game, Spooky Planet<\/a> using GameMaker and published\u00a0it on Windows Phone<\/a>, Windows 8 store<\/a> and Google Play<\/a>. I also made an HTML5 version<\/a> available that can be played online.Here in this post, I will share with you the\u00a0game development tool,\u00a0backend service,\u00a0advertisement providers, analytics platforms that I used\u00a0in making this game and how I utilized various free resources like graphic assets, fonts,\u00a0music, etc.\u00a0for making\u00a0the game.<\/p>\n

\"spooky<\/p>\n

Spooky Planet<\/a> is a Halloween themed game and is free to download. It belongs to the side scrolling, endless flyer genre of games where you need to help a little alien stranded on a deserted planet by collecting pumpkins. You have to compete with players around the world to\u00a0climb up\u00a0the leaderboard.<\/p>\n

I have divided this post into different sections, focusing on\u00a0game Design, Development, Monetization and Analytics. Read on to find out in detail about the free resources, cross platform game development tool and more\u00a0that I used for creating my game. Don’t forget to Download Spooky Planet<\/a> on your devices.<\/p>\n

Game Design<\/h2>\n

To begin with, I will list down the assets that I used\u00a0in\u00a0Spooky Planet.<\/p>\n

Game assets<\/h3>\n

I have used\u00a0CC0 licensed free\u00a0graphic assets\u00a0by Kenney<\/a>\u00a0in Spooky Planet, these include the alien, ground tile, rocks that form the obstacles, repeating background and small elements like cactus and stones that\u00a0spawn on the surface of the ground. These assets are included in the Platformer\u00a0and Tappy Plane packs by Kenney. These packs also include SVG vector formats for these game assets\u00a0that I\u00a0used to modify these assets\u00a0to\u00a0match the dark and spooky theme of the game.<\/p>\n

\"free-game-assets-pack-kenney\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The monstrous\u00a0pumpkin that needs to be collected to score points, is another public domain\u00a0SVG vector that I\u00a0downloaded from OpenGameArt<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fonts<\/h3>\n

To go with the theme of the game, I picked up a free hand-lettered font October Crow<\/a>\u00a0for the game title. You can check our collection of free Halloween fonts<\/a> for more such horror and creepy fonts.<\/p>\n

\"free-halloween-fonts-october-crow\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For\u00a0displaying scores and high scores, leaderboard and how to play section, I have used Patrick Hand font, a free handwriting font available on Google Fonts<\/a>. You can also read our earlier post to get a list of free font resources sites<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Icons<\/h3>\n

All the icons used in game\u00a0including icons\u00a0for\u00a0play, replay, leaderboard, volume control, help,\u00a0about and rate, I\u00a0have\u00a0created them using Syncfusion Metro Studio<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"syncfusion-metro-studio\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While the social media icons for Facebook and Twitter have been downloaded from Flaticon. These icons were available in SVG format making it easy to edit them in Inkscape. You may want to take a look at our previous post that covered sites offering free icons<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Music and Sound<\/h3>\n

The game background music uses Halloween themed music track, Valse Macabre<\/a>, one of the free resources from Envato<\/a> for the month of October’14.<\/p>\n

\"halloween-music-valse-macabre-audiojungle\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I also needed\u00a0a sound that\u00a0would be\u00a0played on collecting pumpkins and for this I picked up jingles_SAX04.ogg<\/em> from Jingles sounds pack\u00a0by Kenney.<\/p>\n

If you are a game developer, do not forget to read my post that lists down websites where you can find\u00a0free sounds and music for games<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Game Icon<\/h3>\n

For\u00a0game icon, I used pumpkin\u00a0on the\u00a0sunburst background. I created this sunburst background using Gimp. I will\u00a0be giving away a set of sunburst backgrounds similar to the one showed in game icon below, as\u00a0freebie\u00a0in coming days, so do check back!<\/p>\n

Grab the freebie: 10 Free Sunburst Backgrounds<\/a><\/div>\n

Game Development<\/h2>\n

Game development tool<\/h3>\n

I used GameMaker: Studio<\/a>, a cross-platform game development tool for creating Spooky Planet. It supports native export to Windows Phone 8, Windows 8, Android, HTML5, iOS and many other platforms, provides\u00a0monetization options (such as ads and in-app purchases) as well as integration with analytics platforms.<\/p>\n

The gameplay of Spooky Planet is quite simple. GameMaker: Studio has many demos, there are also online\u00a0tutorials<\/a> provided by YoYo Games\u00a0that helped\u00a0me in creating the game play easily.<\/p>\n

\"gamemaker-studio-development\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Game backend<\/h3>\n

App42 Cloud API Services<\/a>\u00a0are used for the online leaderboard service. App42 does not provide SDK for GameMaker: Studio,\u00a0so Kanishk<\/a> did a workaround to integrate it with GameMaker: Studio, you can refer to the thread on App42 forum<\/a> started by Kanishk.<\/p>\n

You can\u00a0also check out our earlier post\u00a0for a list of\u00a0Leaderboard service providers for games<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"app42-mobile-backend-services\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Monetization of Game<\/h2>\n

Spooky Planet is an ad-supported free game on all the platforms – Windows Phone, Windows 8 and Android. I do plan to bring in app purchase to remove ads on all platforms in future updates.<\/p>\n

Advertisement providers<\/h3>\n

For Windows platform, GameMaker: Studio\u00a0provides support\u00a0only for Microsoft advertising , so\u00a0I\u00a0used\u00a0pubCenter for Windows Phone and Windows 8 versions of Spooky Planet.<\/p>\n

\"microsoft-advertising-pubcenter\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And for the Android platform, I have used Google AdMob which is supported by GameMaker: Studio.<\/p>\n

\"Google<\/a><\/p>\n

You may want to take a look at our earlier post on\u00a0pubCenter alternatives on Windows Phone<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Analytics<\/h2>\n

GameMaker makes it very easy to add analytics providers to the game. On Windows Phone and HTML5 platforms, I have used Flurry analytics. And on Android I have used Google analytics.<\/p>\n

You can check out our directory for a complete list of analytics providers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Spooky Planet is the first game that I have developed. With GameMaker: Studio I was able to develop a game\u00a0without any prior experience in game development. Apart from the time needed in development, it took me only 2-3 days to publish it on four different platforms – Android, Windows Phone, Windows 8 and HTML5. And I hope from next time I will be able to make games in lesser time.<\/p>\n

I also used Inkscape, a free vector graphics editor\u00a0and GIMP extensively for creating and editing the graphic assets for Spooky Planet.<\/p>\n

Don’t forget to Download and Play Spooky Planet<\/a> on your Devices and let me know your feedback.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
