Online gaming in India is vast and a fast growing industry, it is still nascent though when it comes to skill evaluation and assessment tools. It is estimated that the Online gaming in India industry is projected to grow at hundreds of billions dollars by 2030. In this post we evaluate the potential of skill evaluation in the gaming industry, as expert skill evaluation for the software industry we are vitally placed to evaluate and assess this industry. Skill Check plays a key role in determining player rating in gaming and is a critical benchmark for most gaming companies.
In this post I take up the case study for Need for Speed to determine and demonstrate the viability of the dovetail method for Skill evaluation, the dovetail method as has been mentioned on this site is far ahead in its methodology and accuracy than tradition methods of skill check. A brief history of NFS is in order before we dive into the actual Skill evaluation method. Need for Speed (NFS) is a racing game franchise published by Electronic Arts and currently developed by Criterion Games. The first series of this game was published in 1994, and ever since it has evolved into a very slick online illegal street racing.
We evaluate this game based on the three inherent parameters of the Dovetail Method, namely:
Skills for NFS are typically evaluated based on the online gaming of the player, the skill evaluation box hooks into the admin console for the game and an administrator can look at the console to get real time insights and data even as the player plays the game. Online gaming in India has come to a level where the games are an interactive entertainment involving the players, parents and friends.
Personality is perhaps the most important of the above three parameters, a players ability can be mapped by generating a personality profile and even recommending online games based on that personality. Personality evaluation happens based on a special methodology that involves Complex identification and the mapping of the 16 Myer Briggs Type indicators. For instance, in our experience the INFJ are suited for cracking this game.
