    Travel East, my son! CrowdStar takes top franchises to China, South Korea

    By

    Hot on the heels of their much-publicized emancipation from the Facebook platform, and self-proclaimed conversion to the church of mobile, social gaming mainstay CrowdStar is ready to take their show on the road, expanding a couple of their most popular franchises into the (ironically named) Wild West of mobile gaming: Southeast Asia.

    By

    Animoca might not be the household name that Zynga is when it comes to free-to-play games, but if you own an iPhone, there's a pretty good chance that you've played (and loved) some of their work. Pretty Pet Salon, Hospital Story, Car City - the list goes on and on. Anything you've ever seen published under the Dream Cortex brand? That's their work. In fact, they're one of the most prevalent freemium developers working in mobile today - which is why it was so puzzling to see all of their games disappear from the App Store seemingly overnight.

    Game Discovery, Engagement and What the Big Players Are Doing

    By

    It's clear that game and app discovery is no longer merely an emergent service or strategy, but is now a core concept that has arrived in full force. From our own GameCoins to RewardVille and TeePee, we're seeing game discovery solution launches and funding announcements left and right. Some of the biggest players in the space are reacting in different ways: who's jumping in the fray, are they doing it right, and what does it mean to game developers?
