Well, one shouldn’t be really surprised with the news that iOS continues to be the most preferred platform by the game developers. Game Developer, Gamasutra’s sister publication conducted a survey with social and mobile developer technology, according to which, 94.7% developers have been building games on the iOS platform. Windows Phone 7, Blackberry and there are other few players who have been struggling to survive in the market. Devices running iOS 4.1 and above are being targeted by a majority of 39.4% of the iOS developers while there are 30.7% of these developers are found to be interested for iOS 5.0 and above. The number of developers who still wish to work on lower versions of iOS is very few.
The research says Unity, out of the mobile game engines available in the market, has been listed as the top one with 53.1% of developers reported using it rather than a custom engine. Game developers have rated faster development time as the most important factor while flexibility, engine performance, support and documentation and prior successful usage by another team remain the other factors, when it comes to determining a mobile gaming engine.
