How to build perfect controls in mobile games (Casual Connect Kiev)
By Jim Squires
Virtual d-pads, analog sticks and buttons suck on mobile devices. That may sound like a harsh statement, but I think you'd have a pretty hard time finding anyone who'd disagree. And heck - this is the second time this week I've had to say it. As it turns out, I'm not the only one.Don’t try to be a big fish in a big pond: Why developers shouldn’t be targeting the US market (Casual Connect Kiev)
By Jim Squires
A full day of lectures and discussions at a developer-focused event like Casual Connect can touch on a lot of things. Marketing strategies, design fundamentals, emerging trends - the topics run the gamut. With day one of Casual Connect Kiev squarely in our rear view mirror, one topic seemed to make its way into almost every presentation I attended: developers should stop targeting the US market and start exploring other options.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.Is Rovio getting ready to jump into the publishing game?

Is Angry Birds creator Rovio the latest notable name to jump in the fray?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.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?Facebook continues its mobile charge with app install ads
By Eli Cymet
If you use Facebook on your phone or tablet - and science says that there's about a 95% chance that you do - you may have noticed something different lately. And no, we're talking about the fact that the app is finally working. Rather, the social networking giant recently stepped up its mobile ad program from featured news stories to include a select pool of game developers. Starting today, that pool will be a whole lot bigger.
