#Puzzle game archaeological dig like myst pc for free
If I read about a game that sounds interesting and fun, I can click to the game’s page in the App Store or in Google Play and download it as an impulse buy, typically for free (or up to $2.99 based on archaeology games I’ve seen). Why develop archaeology games for mobile platforms? First, iOS and Android phones connect users with content in an immediate and inexpensive way. I have hope that my archaeologist colleagues will find similar success. I have limited experience in app development for iOS, developing one app for Latin proverbs in 2009 where I provided the content and worked with a freelance developer to bring my vision and spec to life, finding its way onto hundreds of Apple devices through the App Store. If archaeologists want to have a direct say in 2017 in how archaeologists and archaeology are represented in games, then mobile platforms seem to me to be the most obvious route. Mobile games, however, allow for fast development and rapid deployment to a market of literally billions of smartphone users. While there are some laudable individual efforts in promoting more real and ethical archaeological narratives in game development via one-off games, game jams, indie games, and conversations with indie and AAA developers, these will take years to bear fruit, changing the industry from within. If archaeologists want to contribute directly to making archaeology-themed games or games with archaeologists as the main characters, then I would recommend developing new titles for the massive mobile market.
