David Reichelt is the CEO of Color Switch Ltd, and the guy behind the hit mobile games Color Switch and Color Switch 2. He sits down with Joerg and AJ to talk about his history in gaming, how he developed not one but several games, and his philosophy behind creating entertainment. (interview begins at 8:37)
David Reichelt is a mobile game creator who made Color Switch, which has over 250 million downloads and generated over seventy five million dollars in revenue. We talk about his journey, how he created 40 unsuccessful games before finally hitting the home-run, where does he find inspiration, persistence, passion, and about his creative process. This is not one of those making a mobile game in a day type of story. David shares a lot of useful tips. It is quite a wide-ranging conversation and whether you're exploring a new hobby, are looking for creative ideas, or just want to broaden your horizon or find a new passion in life, there's definitely something here for you in this interview. And of course, we also take a look at the poker industry and the trend of making poker more fun. Online poker sites recently borrow a lot of ideas from the gaming world and in many ways, they are competing with EA Sports more than with the online casinos.
