Lascivio Project

Engineering the user experience

FOR THE GAME INDUSTRY SUPPLIER

For a game industry supplier the Lascivio Design acknowledges and takes advantage of the tremendous potential of outsourcing.

Much of the computer game industry history has been focused around artistic output and hand-built creations. More recently the strong emergence of middleware, specialist outsourcing, and game sub-code licensing has created opportunities for businesses to supply such specialised services to this industry.

The Lascivio Design capitalises on this in every way. Whilst everything about a game can be created in-house, the Lascivio Design maximises the potential for specialist outsourcing. This has several benefits including higher standards on specialist work, lower total cost of production, increased standardisation, shorter delivery times, and reduced dependency on key programmers.

Today many game industry suppliers provide excellent services using economies of scale that individual game development teams cannot match. The Lascivio Design leverages them effectively to make the most of these advantages.

FOR THE GAME CONTENT ARTIST

For game artists The Lascivio Design offers an opportunity to showcase creative work in a live production system.

The Lascivio Design is focused around the user experience in a dynamic universe. This relies on a larger volume of content than existing games in today’s market, and content needs artists!

By approaching the management of content art in a modular way the Lascivio Design allows for a much broader sourcing of content artwork. Whether it be characters, terrain, static polygons, moving polygons – everything is required.

Traditionally content art has been a tightly controlled function of the design team to ensure that it is in keeping with the style of the game and that there are no copyright control issues. The Lascivio Design meets these criteria in ways that still allow individual artists to submit artwork.

However, this is not merely a case of putting the occasional art in the game world. The Lascivio Design creates a framework where the demand for content art can be driven by the player community creating enormous opportunity for individual contributions.
