How a game designed in a week helped to change everything — for the company that made it, for a local industry in turmoil, and for a global industry in transition.  Features interviews with Defiant Development co-founder Morgan Jaffit and Firemint founder / Flight Control creator Rob Murray, along with a clip of former Touch Arcade editor Eli Hodapp. LINKS You can't get Flight Control on iOS or Android anymore, but the HD Mac and Windows port is https://store.steampowered.com/app/62000/Flight_Control_HD/ (still available on Steam) — if your computer is old enough to run it. The clip of Eli Hodapp speaking on The Touch Arcade Show is from https://toucharcade.com/2015/09/11/the-toucharcade-show-222-r-i-p-flight-control/ (episode 222), published in September 2015 — shortly after Flight Control (along with many other EA-owned games) was delisted from the App Store For more from me on the early mobile games business, be sure to check out http://lifeandtimes.games/episodes/files/1.html (episode 1 - Race to the bottom) as well as the http://lifeandtimes.games/episodes/files/interview-jon-jordan.html (extended interview) I posted with Pocket Gamer co-founder Jon Jordan after that episode came out. I also briefly touched on early iPhone hit Trism in http://lifeandtimes.games/episodes/files/6.html (episode 6 - ROM Hack) — which featured Trism creator Steve Demeter talking about his stint in the ROM hacking and translations community. If you're curious what these guys are up to nowadays, you'll find Eli at https://gameclub.io/ (GameClub) carving out deals to pull more old iOS and Android games out of purgatory and into their subscription catalogue. Rob is a stay-at-home dad, years deep in a bigger-than-he'd-expected project to design his family's new house. And Morgan is also enjoying the home life after winding down Defiant in 2019, happy that it had served its purpose and was no longer needed. He says he's also writing a script for a new game some ex-Defiant people are building, consulting on various upcoming game projects, and writing short stories (which he describes as a "very nice" change of pace, as he can get a story done in days rather than the years most games he's worked on took to complete).
