Childs play: 5 ingredients for successful mobile apps for kids (Casual Connect)
By Eli Cymet
If mobile is a whole new world for gaming, kids gaming is a whole new universe for mobile. You're dealing with an audience who's less limited by their pocketbooks and preferences, and more by attention spans and nap times. As designers, parents, or caretakers, we may think we know what's fun, connecting at a child's level? That's a whole different cup of tea... or warm milk, whichever.OUYA partners with Square Enix to release Final Fantasy III
In what seems to be an attempt to deal with every piece of criticism the OUYA has received before their Kickstarter campaign is up, they've done it again. First, we saw them address an attack on OUYA's functionality with their announcement that they'd be compatible with OnLive. Now, they're combating the "nobody important will support the OUYA" claims with a pretty big partnership: Square Enix.Tapjoy joins forces with Viximo to expand their social tools and product offerings

By Dant Rambo
In the eyes of Alex Seropian, the mobile space provides developers with an unprecedented level of both freedom and challenges -- each of which are birthed from the autonomy to price your work as you see fit, along with the lack of a standardized business model. And with all of the excitement and creative autonomy swirling around the platform, why not strive to deliver an experience with more depth than the average mobile title? That was the question at the heart of Seropian's talk, "Go Mobile or Stay Home."The Game Graph: GREE’s Ethan Fassett on their publishing platform, our mobile future, and the real problem with app discovery
By Eli Cymet
When Gamezebo founder Joel Brodie and I went to meet with GREE's VP of Product Ethan Fassett at Casual Connect, I was under the impression that we'd be there to talk about the obvious: the "GREE Platform." The mega-dev's publishing platform has just entered open beta, and without sounding too jaded, events like Casual Connect often serve as soapboxes from which to chat about their latest initiatives, per the party line.Spry Fox’s next original game, tentatively titled Hoppington, will be played over 7 real-time days (Exclusive)
By Eli Cymet
One of my favourite talks at this year's Casual Connect was given by Spry Fox (Triple Town) Chief Creative Officer, Dan Cook, about designing completely original games. He feels a great place to start is at the root, with the core assumptions of how we play. Mario runs and jumps, and we control that. What if we didn't control the running part? Canabalt is what. A fitting chat, it seems, considering what this indie duo has up its sleeve.Zynga’s CPO weighs in on how the company attracts and retains talent (Casual Connect)

It's a problem Zynga knows a thing or two about, and Chief People Officer Colleen McCreary hosted a panel on how best to acquire and retain talent.5 games that let you live your Summer Olympics dreams (without moving a muscle)
