iPhone Game Development and iPad Game Development: The Ruff Side – Part 2

In my previous article I have discussed how some people presume that it is easy and also very affordable to have any game developed. Partially they are right and somewhat not. iPhone Game Development and iPad Game Development does incur cost and if you have patience than it can also turn out profitable. In this part I will discuss on how to keep your data / idea safe and share it with development team and also how can you be useful at the time of development with right inputs or remarks.

Sharing an idea with third party is always tough as there is always chance of idea theft or betrayal from the company using your idea for their profits. So, when your find any development company you need to make sure you have NDA signed, this is Non-Disclosure Agreement, which will ensure safety and confidentiality of your ideas or any data that you share with the development company. Reputed iPhone Game Development or iPad Game Development companies like Morpheous have their own formats of NDA which make sure your all data and idea are secured and any breach can be legally challenged. Only share your information once the agreement is signed. Without it there is no guarantee of your data is secured or cannot be used for personal benefits.

Now you got the development company and your development is started, how will you can be useful in the ongoing process of iPhone Game Development and iPad Game Development? Here is what you should do, when Development Company provides you with updates or progress made in the designing and development of the project. What you need to do is to see if the game is taking shape as you want or is out of track, also make sure you go through each provided features and visualize what game will look like after few weeks. Make sure you provide your comments or remarks and also review in written format so that it can be reviewed later on if needed. If there is any ruff sketches or drawings you share of what you visualize than it would be great for the developers or designers to understand what exactly you want and how you want it to look like.

I hope this article will help you to have smooth ride in iPhone Game Development and iPad Game Development with any development company. If you have any queries you can always shoot me an email to give id in my profile.
