独立游戏开发者协会(TIGA)发布的最新数据显示,过去五年来,英国工作室的关注点已从移动设备转向了其他平台。根据TIGA的数据,英国的工作室中有40%在2018年主要专注于移动领域,而2013年为49%。
TIGA还透露,在此期间,PC(包括零售和在线PC游戏,社交网络游戏以及大型多人在线游戏)是36%的英国工作室首选的平台,比2013年增长了34%。但是,控制台平台-包括游戏机和经处理的零售和下载类别–仍然主要限于大型工作室,因为该国15%的工作室专注于为这些平台开发,而2013年为16%。
如今,有8%的工作室主要专注于VR / AR,比2016年3月增加了2%。行业协会进一步表示,游戏机类别仍是迄今为止开发人员的最大雇主,占开发商和发行商工作室创意的47%员工。此外,PC,移动和VR / AR领域的开发人员分别占26%,22%和4%。
今年6月,由JetBrains发布的一项名为“开发者生态系统状况”的研究发现,Python是Java之外最受欢迎的编程语言。根据这项研究,有27%的受访者声称在过去12个月内研究过Python。该报告指出,如果按样本数量标准化,那么C语言是开发人员中最喜欢的。

Mobile becoming increasingly unpopular with UK game studios, study finds
The latest data released by the Independent Game Developers' Association (TIGA) has revealed that the focus of UK studios has moved away from mobile towards other platforms over the last five years. According to TIGA’s figures, 40% of the studios in the UK are mainly focused on mobile in 2018 – down from 49% in 2013.
TIGA also revealed that PC – including retail and online PC games, social network games and massively multiplayer online games – was the preferred platform for 36% of the UK studios during the period, which is 34% up from 2013. However, console platforms – comprising of console and handled retail and download categories – remains mostly limited to larger studios, as 15% of the studios in the country focused on developing for these platforms compared to 16% in 2013.
Today, 8% of studios are primarily focusing on VR/AR – a 2% increase from March 2016. The trade association further stated that the console category remains the largest employer of development staff by far, representing 47% of developer and publisher studio’s creative staff. Moreover, development staff in the PC category, mobile, and VR/AR accounts for 26%, 22%, and 4%, respectively.
In June, a study, titled ‘State of Developer Ecosystem’, released by JetBrains, found Python as the most preferred programming language alongside Java. According to the study, 27% of respondents claimed to have studied Python within the last 12 months. The report noted that if normalised by sample size, then C# is the most favoured language among developers.
