Modern Trends in Online Gaming

When it comes to gaming, it can be said that the fastness with the world changes is just as quick as the technology in general. Now, when we talk about gaming online, gamers evolve at an even greater speed, because the Internet allows them to interact with each other and change at a different speed.

The fact that the online gaming industry is continuously changing is undeniable, and that won’t change any time soon. As we previously mentioned, technology is evolving fast, which affects trends in video games.

Regarding this, one of the newest trends when talking about online gaming is the use of a mobile device instead of a computer or laptop. This is due to the fact that most of the people own a mobile device, which makes this technology a perfect target for a gaming device. That’s one of the main reasons why some major gaming companies like Epic Games are launching their Android and iOS versions of their most famous games.

Another one of the latest trends in gaming is the use of augmented reality to improve the gaming experience. On this matter, one of the most famous examples of this is the game Pokemon GO, which became famous all over the world at an incredibly fast pace.

Mobile Gaming is the largest revenue driver for gaming companies and this hot trend is expected to continue for the foreseeable future. The marketplace is absolutely flooded with free-to-play games that make a fortune following a freemium business model. Mobile apps such as Fortnite: Battle Royale, PUBG Mobile, Call Of Duty, and Clash of Clans, all make massive profits by initially offering games for free and then later upselling customers to purchase extra features.

At the same time, another frequent way with which gamers connect online is by live streaming, which has become a usual trend in the gaming experience. The most used platform is Twitch, which until 2018 had more than 15 million daily active users. These type of platforms allows gamers not only to connect with fellow friends but to share with them while they are playing, which allows the game to become a social experience.

Among other famous current trends, we can find inclusive games, which are frequently asked for by gamers nowadays. Because of the cultural impact of inclusion these days, gamers want games that appeal to different genders and ethnicities. This might be due to the fact that it is now frequent that people identify themselves with different characters, and seeing that the current world is constantly adapting to gender differences, it is no surprise that games also get on this groove.

On this same aspect, another important advance in gaming trends is that now, games will become less reliant on sound effects for the game experience, hence, hearing-impaired gamers will be able to enjoy their gaming differently.

Likewise, current trends also include online gaming and casinos, which are developing more and more by the minute. Instead of simply playing the slots a lot of times, the experts are improving the gaming experience in order to make it more and more inclusive and attractive to gamers, so that it also becomes a social network with which gamers can interact with each other.

Despite all the aforementioned trends, perhaps the newest one is the currently-developing cloud gaming. This is an innovative way in which gamers don’t have to pay a lot of money for monthly subscriptions to the games because they will be able to connect via the cloud and play all they want.

Certainly, the gaming industry is growing rapidly, and with that, it’s also constantly changing. Sometimes changes happen so fast that it’s hard to even determine what’s no longer on the market and what the newest trend is. Because of that, being aware of the latest technologies when it comes to online gaming is of great importance, so that you are up to date with everything that develops in the gaming world and how the experience will get better with every improvement.

Women in the Animation Industry

The contribution of women to the advancement of any industry is undeniable. Even the most successful companies in the world succeeded due to the right people in their workforce. There must be a gender balance in your workforce because it will bring diversity to your thoughts, ideas, and decision-making processes.

When it comes to the animation industry women, have a significant role in it. The animation industry is touching new heights of success and has made tremendous progress in the last few years, but still, the imbalance of women in the industry is challenging and hard to ignore. The animation industry was valued at 259 billion in 2018, and it is expected that it will be shooting up to 280 billion in 2020. According to the survey conducted by Women in Animation, an advocacy group, 60% of animation students in the US and Europe are women, but there is a drop rate of 20%-40% as they move onto the professional animation industry.

Women are present in production roles but not directorial and technical roles. In almost all the top creative animation studios, the creative leads are always men, especially compositors, FX artists, and generalists. Thus arises a question, why there is a lack of female animators? Many cited it as an issue of confidence that emanates from centuries of oppression of women, or the typical male domination in all the powerful positions that is going on until the end of the time.

Talking about gender, you might be thinking about who is dominating the industry. Men or women? Well, it is sad to hear that there is still a gender imbalance in the industry. Men are leading the industry, with 75% of the population, which is a significant concern. According to statistics, 60% of the students studying animation courses in different animation schools and institutes are women, but why are men leading the industry? Well, when this question was raised back in 2018 the most common reason that was found is that most of the women lost interest in the field after completing their studies causing a significant drop in the population of women in the animation industry.

The industry is full of creative women, and we have to make a strenuous effort to work with female talent, thus supporting them to develop their unique talents, voices, and experiences in the creative industry. However, once they have their foot in the industry, their experiences are mostly optimistic and assured. It’s only a matter of encouraging women to climb up the ladder and reach that top position. Through the initiatives carried out by Animated Women, free the Bid, and WIA, there is a new ray of hope for women in the animation industry.

Now in 2020, trends are changing, and the media is paying particular attention to women. It is already positively impacting the animation industry. A lot of female animators are getting inspired by their pioneers in the animation industry. Though males seemed to be leading the animation industry in the past, Still, there were several female animators who worked very hard for the industry, and their works cannot be forgotten. They are serving as an inspiration for today’s women, and their practices are still used as an inspiration for new animators in different 2d animation studios.

The Best Animated Feature Film – Oscar Winner 2020 – Toy Story 4

Best Animated Feature toy story 4 2d animation Companies

Toy Story 4, the long-awaited next chapter in the saga of Woody and Buzz, won Best Animated Feature at the Oscars held this month. Featuring the voices of Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Annie Potts, and Tony Hale, among many others, the film sees the introduction of a new toy, Forky (Hale), who becomes lost on a road trip, prompting Woody (Hanks), Buzz Lightyear (Allen), and the rest of the team to find and save him.

The film begins with a flashback to a rainy night nine years earlier, during which Woody and a crop of Andy’s toys work to save RC from being swept away by the storm. Later that same night, Andy’s little sister, Molly, gives her porcelain Bo Peep (Annie Potts) and sheep away. Woody tries to save Bo, but she’s actually fine with being passed along to another child, so the two say goodbye. Fast-forward to the toys’ current home with rising kindergartner Bonnie (Madeleine McGraw).

Although Woody isn’t one of Bonnie’s favorite toys, she prefers Jessie, he stows away in her backpack to comfort her through school orientation, where he helps her make a special toy: a Spork with googly eyes, pipe cleaner arms, and Popsicle stick feet whom she names “Forky.” Forky unexpectedly comes to life, but, despite Woody’s explanations, he believes he’s trash and keeps trying to throw himself in the garbage. While the family is on a road trip, Forky flees, Woody follows to get him back, and the two bond as they make their way back to Bonnie. But the plan goes sideways when Woody sees Bo Peep’s lamp on display in an antique store, and Forky ends up being held hostage by 1950s baby doll Gabby Gabby (Christina Hendricks), who has designs on Woody’s vintage voice box.

Toy Story 4 is a testament to how rich those characters are. It’s a story about a guy who is afraid to be replaced. At a certain point, everyone feels that. What the producers of Toy Story 4 did with Woody in this one, is put him in a place where he could have a second lease on life. Toy Story 4 might be a repeat of earlier ideas and plotlines but comparing it to the fourth film in other franchises, this film by Pixar is quite charming, amusing, and In a whole different league. Still, on separation and loss, Toy Story 4 remains funny, inventive, clever, and a richly endearing film that just shows its strength.

The show exceeded expectations while breaking the franchise’s box office record. Pixar proved there was definitely one more story to tell about Woody’s existential journey. A Story on change and growth, with Bo Peep and Forky as the catalysts. The production studio upped its animation, from the porcelain shepherdess to the complex antique shop, and delivered a bittersweet climax. This sequel definitely justified its existence. Talk about having a friend, “Toy Story 4” has become the first franchise to earn two animated film Oscars.
