IntroductionEach year there are literally thousands of new games invented around the world, almost all by private individuals whose motivation is entirely their own entertainment. However, having invented a game which they themselves enjoy, a reasonable proportion of inventors will want to see it get a wider audience than just friends and family. Whilst major manufacturers are the obvious first port of call for an inventor trying to progress a game, these manufacturers do not in reality have the dedicated manpower required to allow them to properly deal with the volume of material received and therefore prefer to refer inventors to firms like Games Talk. Our commercial appraisal service is designed to give inventors meaningful and practical feedback and a games industry based assessment of any new game's potential. There are many measures that can be applied to a new game idea, but the principle criteria used to inform our appraisal are : CONCEPTUAL MARKETABILITY, GAMEPLAY and DEVELOPMENTAL POTENTIAL As well as providing inventors with valuable feedback, the appraisal process also allows Games Talk to identify those few games which may have the potential to progress to commercial success. Further consideration and discussion with the inventor may then result in a game entering our Development and Licensing program.
