From the time mobile app market has been introduced , mobile game is gaining its popularity as people are finding the ways to get engaged and getting entertained by playing games on mobile . The mobile app game apps is expected to gain 40% of the market share by 2020 , and so will be dApp mobile app development company .

But there is one limitation – the most common difficulty being faced by a mobile game playing user is if they purchase certain digital goods from in app purchases , it can’t be transferred outside the app or anywhere else . Although it works perfectly for both the user and the game industry , but what if game looses its popularity after a certain time – certainly all the money invested by the user in that particular game will be useless .

For a user to stop playing game means certainly to loose all the digital goods purchase and this leads to waste of money . But recently a new technology is emerging in the market to overcome with the problem that mobile gamers are experiencing . The technology is to make use of digital goods which are bought together with the game by exchanging digital goods by use of cryptocurrencies using blockchain method .

What Is BlockChain ?

Blockchain is a new Web 3.0 which is formed by combination of Nodes and does not have any centralised server for its guide . The most famous example of Blockchain cryptocurrency  is Bitcoin .

But cryptocurrency is not the only method which deal with blockchain . The introduction of blockchain is to allow approval of anythings . User are finding various other opportunities because of its endless opportunities apart from just focusing on cryptocurrency .

Etherum is know to be the base of all blockchains . It is generic chain and is open source .

Blockchain is known to be the most secured technology for doing transaction online as it can not be corrupted .

But have you even imagined how Blockchain has been formed ? Every time a transaction initiated by the user , a piece of information is saved in the block , together with grouping various other different amount of transaction . Then the same block included the hash of prior block , thus allowing their connection and linking them . Then those links form of blockchain , an integrity among the previous blocks going straight towards the original block .

Every time a block is created , it just add a chain and is used as last version instead of overwriting the previous one . Each new history version has higher value in comparison to previous one , in such a way that it can select over the other blocks that are already built in .

Blockchain gets updated with the latest version of the chain in order to facilitate secured and faster access . In fact some time some blockchain creates new block and add it to chain every five seconds .

BlockChain : Network Of Nodes , Idea Of Decentralisation

The network of nodes and its decentralisation is what blockchain is all about . In Blockchain each user gets connected to single independent server and thus it is know to be a network of independent computers .The main advantage being the information of the server being stores at different places rather than being stores in centralised server at one place thus facilitating a greater security control .

The another advantage being data transparency . Any one having private key together with the password can step into the chain and can see all the transaction history .

Mobile App Development Companies Using BlockChain On Mobile Gaming Industry

Some of the renowned mobile gaming app development company has started integrating on the concept of blockchain technology on mobile gaming world , in order to facilitate user to use their digital goods across all games rather than waiting them on only one game ,  usually when they finish all the levels or looses their interest from the game .

The Future Of Mobile Gaming Using BlockChain , Some Conclusions

BlockChain technology has been changing the lot of technology by its advance methods , but the mobile gaming industry has not yet much influenced by this method in broad way , as was expected .
This is because each mobile app developer has their one different project . But the truth being that once the mobile app game developers start to implement blockchain on their games , the benefit will go towards user as well as mobile game distributor .
Ofcourse the BlockChain technology is not only limited to mobile gaming industry but can be used across all industry right from polling station , to one to one end chat in encrypted format thus allowing confidential of both receiver and sender .

5 Question You Need To Ask When Hiring A Mobile App Development Company

5 question app development winklix

We usually came across with the client stories about the sufferance during their journey of app development , when they initially engaged with app development company . This problem can be overcome by asking them a set of few question , before starting any of your project .

1) Will I Own The Source Code

Imagine you have paid for the whole software , and at the end you are getting only the end product and not the source code . This is nothing other than intentionally holding the right of your application and its intellectual right . Suppose you want to change something in application or want to add on some things , then that developer might charge the price they want and will do work as per their working condition . Secondly , when you want to search for the investors or want to hire own developers , then at that point also you will be requiring source code .
Everyone’s has limited budget , but leaving the source code to any app developer is bad idea just to save few bucks.

2) How Will You Estimate Cost & Schedule Of My Project

Every client is curious at the very first stage of development about knowing the cost of the project and the time it will take to develop the whole project . Well that’s a difficult question !! It can be predicted correctly only if you have the correct estimate of the project . It’s really been difficult to give the correct time on over just 5 minutes phone call . Be wary of firms who offers low bid on your project without understanding your requirement , after a brief meeting with you . They might just want to grab the new project , and probably not bothered about understanding your needs . These type of vendor is good at the beginning but later on will create a huge problem for you and your project .
Well when talking about the time , time can only be estimated in technical field if you have the correct known requirement for your project . But in case you find later on few additional things which are required in your app , then obviously it will take additional time . So handling this kind of situation , you must go on with the hourly basis pricing with your developer , as fixed pricing is generally proven bad for your project .

3) If I Am Not Happy With How A Project Is Progressing , Can I Get Out Of Contract ?

Always make sure that you have the ability to get out of the project or any type of agreement with development company  , if you are unsatisfied with your experience . At any point you must have the ability to get the source code and design and move on to some other developer . After all you are paying for the services , and its your choice whether to choose the one or other developer .

4) Can I Meet In Person With App Developers And Designers ?

If your developers don’t have the question to this answer , then that agency is 100 % outsourcing your project to freelancer or any other contractor . That is obviously not the way Winklix work . You can meet our developers and designer spread over Noida , Pune , Mumbai , New York and London .

5) How Do You Test ?

If someone tells you testing is basic QA after the app building , then you must not choose that app development company.  Testing is an important part of the project and should me implemented throughout the developmental process . At Winklix , we offer different testing methods to ensure bug free delivery of the mobile application .

app development

First of all congrats for making it so far . You have your entire business model pre set in your mind , right from wireframes to financial projection , and say you might also have a VC’s in front of you who is happily ready to fund your business . Then obviously you might be thinking of approaching a big Mobile App Development company for your business model .

You might have found the app development agency whom portfolio are flooded with big clientele logo’s like Netflix , Sony , Facebook and so on.

Problem :

You are feeling crazy to check on each app developed by that specific mobile app development company , to see what awesome they really did so far . You web browser are doing their role , but that page might not let loaded . Need not to worry , your browser might be telling you the truth , right ? Perhaps not . Their designer might be doing the internship in some college , but the point is do they able to provide you the appropriate solution for your business problem . If they have really serving large chunks of more than 500 + clients , and are representing as a large companies who have served the large players , then they must be able to satisfy you more than your expectation . However this might not be the case every time with you . They might be willing to flaunt you by showing you they have actually build something for that company .

Solution :

Ask them a simple question , what they really did for those companies ? They might be in some kind of NDA with those companies , but they positively have something to answer , say ” We have designed custom software ” , or ” we designed something for them ” .

Problem :

The company you might have choose might be charging you $ 120 an hour but , but they are not transparent about who is doing your project  .

Solution :

The one and only solution to this problem is ask if you could meet them whether virtually or by walking into their office . By this step you might be able to find why they exactly want so much of time and what are they exactly doing In those hours . Is is an important step , because what if they are  charging you $ 120 or $ 140 an hour and they are actually outsourcing your project to someone situated in India , its not like that Indian app developers don’t have a excellent mind to develop the app , but it is the matter of question that you are paying $ 120 per hour for glorified referral under the guise of honest agency .It might be extreme risk to trust on someone who is actually doing like this and making you fool irrespective of your investment .

Bottom Line

You only have 2 choices at this point of time , either you can blindly trust the developer or you can act as we guided to you . As if it is really been a situation that your app is being outsourced , you can in this world of modernisation can hire a agency by your own rather than paying such a hike prices .
