This week's guest is Alvaro Duarte, VP Casual Games at Voodoo. In this episode, Alvaro reveals Voodoo's business model, unique approach to game development, and the screening process for Voodoo's games. Voodoo has a unique approach to game development, releasing games that are in a "sooner state of product" and then iterating on them after they are live. The screening process for Voodoo's games is rigorous, and they look at gameplay, retention metrics, CPI, and ROAS targets, among other things.

Der russische Programmierer Alexei Paschitnow entwickelte 1984 die erste Version des Videospielklassikers Tetris. Mit der Veröffentlichung des Game Boy von Nintendo 1989 trat das Spiel, das auf mehr als 65 Computerplattformen erschienen ist, einen weltweiten Siegeszug an, der bis heute anhält. Rückblickend wird das Spiel, bei dem man fallende Formen aus stets vier Quadraten zusammensetzen muss, als die "Mutter aller Casual Games" bezeichnet.Der britische Filmregisseur Jon S. Baird hat aus der Tetris-Ursprungsgeschichte einen amüsanten Biopic-Thriller gemacht, mit Taron Egerton als Computerspiele-Entwickler Henk Rogers in der Hauptrolle. Eingebettet in 16-Bit-Animationen erzählt "Tetris" - zu streamen bei Apple TV+ - die aberwitzige Geschichte zweier Computerspiele-Entwickler, die gegen alle Widrigkeiten ihren Traum verfolgen.Eine ausführliche Kritik zu "Tetris" von Ronny Rüsch und Axel Max - jetzt in einer neuen Folge des ntv-Podcasts "Oscars & Himbeeren". Außerdem dabei: der italienische Filmklassiker "Die Legende vom Ozeanpianisten", das Filmdrama "The Survivor" sowie der Action-Thriller "Memory" mit Liam Neeson."Oscars & Himbeeren" - der ntv-Podcast - wo sich jeden Freitag alles rund um Streaming-Dienste wie Netflix, RTL+, Amazon Prime & Co. dreht.Unsere allgemeinen Datenschutzrichtlinien finden Sie unter https://datenschutz.ad-alliance.de/podcast.htmlUnsere allgemeinen Datenschutzrichtlinien finden Sie unter https://art19.com/privacy.

Was ist Hyper Casual Gaming? Wie funktioniert der Markt rund um die Hype-Spiele? Wieso sind sie die perfekte Spielwiese für angehende Games-Entwickler_innen? Heute beehrt uns Christoph Sachsenhausen, Managing Director von Sunday, bei Tech & Trara, um mit uns über Hyper Casual Games zu reden. Darunter versteht man Mobile Games, die, wie der Name schon sagt, sehr einfach und "casual" zugänglich sind. Ein gutes Hyper Casual Game lässt euch von Sekunde eins an nicht mehr los und sollte jederzeit abrufbar sein. Sie sind quasi die idealen Begleiter für die kurzen Pausen des Alltags. Christoph selbst hat mit Sunday eine erfolgreiche Firma aufgebaut, die diesen Spielemarkt verstehen und erobern will und dafür viel in Prototyping und Marktanalyse investiert. Warum Hyper Casual Games ein völlig anderes Verständnis von Spieleentwicklung und Markttrends benötigen, als das bei regulären AAA-Titeln der Fall ist, und wieso man sich als Entwickler_in während des Prozesses am besten ans Scheitern gewöhnen sollte, erfahrt ihr in der Folge. Anlass für diese Aufnahme ist der Start unserer speziellen Themenreihe "Hyper Casual", die wir in Kooperation mit Sunday durchführen! Hierbei wollen wir euch in den nächsten Wochen mehr und mehr über Mobile Games, Marktverständnis und Spieleentwicklung informieren. Höhepunkt dieser Reihe wird ein Game Jam ab Mitte September sein, der euch die Möglichkeit geben wird, gemeinsam mit anderen Entwickler*innen einen Prototypen eines Hyper Casual Games zu erstellen! Ab dem 29.08. könnt ihr euch in Teams dafür bewerben, weitere Infos folgen in den nächsten Tagen und Wochen. Folgt dafür unbedingt unseren und Sundays Social Media Kanälen, um nichts mehr zu verpassen.

In this episode of the PG.biz podcast, we explore the reality of building and running a mobile games studio with the wholly awesome Jackie Jin. Jackie is the founder and CEO of Squid Games, a casual games studio based in the Bay area. From design and development to monetisation and recruitment, Jackie and Brian discuss the challenges and opportunities for the studio and developers worldwide. In a market which is evolving and changing so rapidly, how can a small games studio compete? Does company culture play a role? In 2022 can a developer afford to focus on design and development, or does every studio need to engage with monetisation, lifetime value and user acquisition? Back in the first episode of season two, we went big, speaking to Greg Hartrell, the head of Android and Google Play at Google, which claims over three billion players around the world. In this episode, we're focusing on the journey of a new games studio, working on its first title and exploring the challenges and opportunities facing game creators working on their first title. Enjoy.

We've got a really great episode for you all today! On this episode of the podcast, we dive into the heavily debated topic, the difference between casual gaming and competitive gaming. After bringing up this topic somewhat off handedly in Episode #45, we really started to ask more and more questions, and really dive into the topic more. Eventually, we really started to ask, can a game exist itself and just be either a casual game or a competitive game? Through talking about it, we realized that this was really a very nuanced topic, and wanted to give it the attention we thought it deserved. Hope you enjoy!

Our guest today is Jon Hook. Jon is the CEO at BoomHits, a mobile game publisher with many hits in the hypercasual and idle genres. In today's episode, Jon tells us about how the hypercasual genre has evolved to the point where it's approaching saturation in the form that it currently is - and outlines the next stage of its evolution - hybrid casual.  Our conversation flows around the new dynamics involved in monetization, game design, unit economics, hiring, publishing, and much more in all things hybrid. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in moving to hybrid games and also to those that are currently working within the genre.KEY HIGHLIGHTS
