Big Fish CEO shares the secrets of developer profitability (Casual Connect Kiev)
By Jim Squires
There are a lot of buzzwords out there in the world of publishing and game development: "discoverability," "free-to-play," "social" - but in the end, there's only one word that really matters if a developer wants to keep the lights on: profit. Big Fish CEO Paul Thelen took to the stage at Casual Connect Kiev this morning to talk about what developers should be doing to make more of it.Shadowy Shaolin team sneaks into Hero Academy come November
By Eli Cymet
If the app market has redefined games as a service, Robot Entertainment may just be the hardest working mechanic out there. When its flagship mobile strategy title Hero Academy hit iOS, we lauded the game as the "start of something special:" a wonderful asynchronous foundation ripe for further expansion. And expansion we've gotten, with the addition of a Dwarves team, a Team Fortress 2 squad, and a Steam version of the game. Wait a minute, what's that in the shadows?Free “Adventures of Shuggy” DLC arriving October 26
By Dant Rambo
Did you finish The Adventures of Shuggy and immediately crave more? Do you go around telling your friends that you're a bona fide "Shuggnut"? If the answer to the first question is yes, I have great news for you! And if the answer to the second question is yes, that's amazing because I just made that word up. Regardless, more The Adventures of Shuggy is on the way, in the form of a 40-level pack titled "Shuggy's Teleporting Troubles." Launching October 26, the content will be free of charge to owners of the game.Was Activision’s Bobby Kotick right all along?
By Joel Brodie
Last year, while Disney was paying $700 mm+ for Playdom, Electronic Arts was buying PopCap Games for $1 billion, and Zynga was going to be valued at over $20 billion in an IPO, Bobby Kotick was being ridiculed as as a dinosaur in the games industry for missing the social games boat. Even, as it so happened, by this guy!Kickstarter Picks: Kasimono
By Nadia Oxford
What if Batman, Bane, the Joker, Captain America, Catwoman, and Obama all teamed up to develop a game? Well, someone would probably wind up hurt (or worse) by the end of it all, but it would be an interesting amalgamation of talent. Good news, bad news time. Bad news: The DC universe isn't actually teaming up with Marvel and the Prez to make a game. Good news: A bunch of veteran developers have put together a video of themselves cosplaying as the aforementioned characters in hope that you'll sponsor Kasimono, a revolutionary monster-catching game.Failbetter Games launches StoryNexus, a text adventure creation tool
By Dant Rambo
Text adventure games have been making quite the comeback recently, and few companies know that better than Failbetter Games. Creators of hits like Fallen London and Cabinet Noir, they've quickly proven themselves to be masters of the niche (but well-loved) genre. But the text adventure revival needs all the help it can get, and that's why Failbetter has launched the StoryNexus platform. With it, users can create their own text adventure games, as well as play ones created by Failbetter themselves.Swampy resurfaces: Disney’s Where’s My Water? web series (finally) launches.
By Eli Cymet
In November of last year, we reported on what was then an "upcoming" animated web series to be based on Disney's mega-popular physics puzzler Where's My Water? Today - almost exactly a year later - it seems the mouse house is willing to pull the curtain back on the first webisode of Where's My Water? Presents: Swampy's Underground Adventure. I know what you're thinking...isn't a year like, forever in internet time? Don't we drive flying cars and download games to our brains now and stuff?Good Old Games now supports Mac OS X
By Dant Rambo
Those old school game enthusiasts at Good Old Games have gone and made 50 titles in their catalog playable on Mac OS X. This marks only the beginning of The Great Apple Initiative (a title I just made up) for the platform, and users can expect to see even more games available for Mac moving forward. I applaud their drive, as I personally would have just ported over The Feeble Files and called it a day.
