Podcasts about minigames

Liftoff finally went public this week — at a valuation that tells you exactly what the public market thinks mobile ad networks are worth. That's just one of four stories this week that genuinely matter if you run UA.Matej Lančarič flies solo for the breaking news segment, ranked from biggest to most practical. Liftoff listed on Nasdaq as LFT after a second attempt, raising $437M at a $3.83B valuation — a 25% haircut from the $5B it wanted in January, and below the private valuation General Atlantic paid in 2025. A Niko Partners report buried a number most Western publishers still aren't modeling: minigames are now almost 20% of mobile game spending in China. Akin launched AMF Capital with Makers Fund, opening with a $28M UA financing facility for Birhack. And the throughline of the week — mobile has officially shifted from core-first to event-first, with Monopoly Go's Simpsons crossover, Rovio's own admission, and Supercell's MoCo reboot all pointing the same direction.The bar keeps moving up. The industry is consolidating around scale, capital, and live-ops.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 Supercell reboots MoCo's live-ops00:30 Liftoff goes public at $3.83B — the IPO breakdown03:00 China minigames are now 20% of mobile spend05:30 AMF Capital launches with a $28M UA financing deal07:00 Mobile shifts from core-first to event-first09:00 What event-first actually means for your UA

Nach einer Unterbrechung des regulären Gesprächsflows durch unser Indie Fresse Special hat sich natürlich ein gewisser Rückstau gebildet, den wir hier abarbeiten müssen - von handlicher neuer Hardware über gefeierte AAA-Highlights bis zu NOCH mehr Indie-Titeln, wir haben sie alle. Einzelne Spiele haben sie allerdings nicht alle... also die Details und richtigen Ideen. Hier und da fehlt ein wenig Logik, dann gibts keine Alltags-Strickkleidchen oder es ist schlicht unmöglich, mit einem gediegenen Rocketjump die Minigames zu bezwingen, die einem von kleinen Androiden-Mädchen entgegengeschleudert werden. Doch egal ob flüchtiger Kopffüßer, semi-mutierter Zombiekiller, schnetzelnder Astronaut oder wiedergeborener Enforcer, wisst ihr was die alle gemeinsam haben? Sie alle hören JETZT schon die GeekZone 126... nur ihr lest hier noch diesen Text.

Worum geht's: Im Format Ausgefragt! beantworten die Podcaster Fabian, Chris und Gunnar (plus Rahel und Henner) Fragen der Hörer. Die sind in der Regel so ausgewählt, dass die Antworten nicht nur „Ja“, „Nein“ oder „Wurscht“ lauten können, sondern idealerweise ein bisschen was Persönliches preisgeben. Wir danken allen, die Fragen eingesendet haben! Ausgefragt! gehört zu unseren festen Formaten – es erscheint halbjährlich. Wer eine Frage hat, schickt die bitte einfach per Mail an fabian AT stayforever PUNKT de; Fabian sammelt die dann für die nächste Folge im Frühjahr. Bitte keine Fragen zum Podcast an sich oder zu geplanten Folgen. Dies sind die Fragen von dieser Folge: Frage 1, gestellt von: Uwe Große AAA-Spiele scheinen mir aktuell wahlweise storygetriebene Action-RPGs mit Shooter-Mechaniken, rollenspielähnliche Action-Adventures mit starken Story-Elementen oder Looter-Shooter mit Puzzle-Elementen zu sein. Genres verschwimmen, zumindest bei teuren Produktionen. Das letzte Genre, das neu “erfunden” wurde, sind Souls-Likes, wobei auch die vielleicht eher Mechanik als Genre sind. Sind die Möglichkeiten des Mediums ausgeschöpft oder schon alle bekannt? Erwartet ihr noch richtig Neues in den kommenden Jahren? – Frage 2, gestellt von: Anna Habt ihr noch Kontakt zu euren Spielefreunden von “damals” (Marco, Rollenspielgruppen, Hotseat-Partner bei M.U.L.E. etc.)? Hören diese vielleicht sogar Stay Forever und freuen sich über Erwähnungen – oder ist das alles eingeschlafen? – Frage 3, gestellt von: Andreas Gab es bei euch DEN einen Moment (bzw. die Momente), wo euch bewusst geworden ist, dass ihr biologisch offiziell alt seid? Ich schieb zum Beispiel immer meine Brille nach oben, wenn ich Nachrichten auf dem Smartphone lese. Wie geht ihr mit dem Thema “Altern” um? Vermeidet ihr das konsequent? Oder macht ihr euch Gedanken wegen Vorsorge, sowohl medizinisch als auch finanziell? – Frage 4, gestellt von: Marius Ich hab es schon öfter erlebt, dass Mechaniken aus Spielen, die ich gerade spiele, mich in der echten Welt triggern und Handlungsimpulse erzeugen, denen ich widerstehen muss. Zum Beispiel wollte ich zu Zeiten von Black and White gerne echte Bäume ausreißen und über einem Sägewerk abwerfen. Und als ich viel Max Payne spielte, wollte ich in jedem Badezimmerschrank Painkiller suchen. Ist euch das auch mal passiert? – Frage 5, gestellt von: Andreas Die meisten von uns kennen das Vorurteil: “Wer sein Hobby zum Beruf macht, hat ein Hobby weniger.” Ich für meinen Teil habe Respekt – um nicht zu sagen: Angst – davor, dass mir ein liebgewonnenes Hobby durch negative Erfahrungen vergällt wird, wenn aus diesem Hobby mein Beruf würde. Wie geht es euch damit? Gibt es für euch nicht auch Tage, an denen ihr von Videospielen und der damit zusammenhängenden Industrie die Nase voll habt? – Frage 6, gestellt von: Patrick Wie geht ihr mit Spiele-Themen und -Inhalten um, die euch physisch oder psychisch belasten? Generell könnt ihr euch ja aussuchen, ob und wer welches Spiel behandelt. Ich denke da an Gunnars Aussage, dass er keine Jumpscares mag und sehr schreckhaft ist. Da er bei Folgen zu Resident Evil dabei war, stelle ich mir das Spielen schwierig vor. Die anderen haben da bestimmt auch Beispiele. Also was sind für euch problematische Inhalte oder “Hürden” beim Spielen? – Frage 7, gestellt von: Daniel Ihr seid gestresst, überfordert oder anderweitig unzufrieden mit einer Situation. Wohin würdet Ihr euch am liebsten zurückziehen, um abzuschalten und zu regenerieren? – Frage 8, gestellt von: Tobias Gibt es Spiele, die ihr vor allem wegen deren Minigames mochtet? Wo diese euch vielleicht sogar besser gefallen haben als das Hauptspiel? – Frage 9, gestellt von: Raffael Wenn ihr zurück in eure Jugend oder Kindheit reisen und eurem jüngeren Ich einen Rat oder eine Erkenntnis mit auf den Weg geben könntet, was wäre das? Also was hättet ihr rückblickend gerne schon damals gewusst oder verstanden?

What happens when a Chinese studio perfects fake funnels? You get X-Clash - a 4X strategy game disguised as 5 different mini games.

We sit down with Chen Yang (Iwae) from Cocos again to unpack how AI is transforming the Chinese mini-game ecosystem across development, UA, and operations.The conversation reveals how AI-generated 3D, playable automation, LoRA fine-tuning, and instant meme cloning are redefining speed, scale, and creativity in the world's most dynamic mobile market.

Called to Cenn, City of Iron Chains, Caiomhe Wake, Antistrophe Landrace, Brontë Adelvys (and his two attendants), arrive to find crisis rumbling in burg. The Hexcloaks have quietly taken over town governance, while outside, tremors have turned to quakes, even bringing harm to the Ironclad Parade—the statuary whose inhabitants were once devotees to Castine, Living Metal. Perhaps such devotion is earned in part by the curious community that Castine has built here in Cenn since his arrival a century ago. While the archeological dig that gave Cenn its full moniker continues, the city is now known just as well for the smells of its sizzling food, its many seaside diversions, and the spiritual contemplation offered by the lunar temple that graces the moon resting at its center. There, Castine walks with pilgrims who have traveled seeking his company, his wisdom, or his divine favor. But however pure he's kept his temple, he could never keep it safe from the prying eyes of the other members of the Ennead: Ryme, Master of Ice. Lucena, Bringer of Light. Zephius, the Old Wind. Gritt of the Earth. Scintero, Living Bolt. Cinner, Soldier of Ash. Pharmakos the Poisoner. Caliginia, Fated Darkness. None of these divine beings are omniscient, and none omnipotent, but each is capable, powerful, and driven by their own ends, their own understanding of responsibility, and their own relationship to the Perpetuan Cycle.  “What must they think,” you might wonder, “about the Sourcerot, which threatens to end the world ahead of its scheduled decline? What must they think about these heroes journeying across continents in search of destiny?” Well, my own thoughts will be saved for now. But soon, in the city of Cenn, one so-called god will speak. This week on Perpetua:  Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.05] MiniGames and Side Activities [MGSA] Wordzin [MGWZ] In-Game Description: A word-association game with its origins in the Elevana League town of Burzin.    You're prompted with one word and then you're given a choice of words to pick that all could be associated with that first word. Your goal is to pick the same word as the second “dealer.” At first, I thought that this game was totally random, but after talking to people on the forum, it sounds like you can start to predict what style of word the computer will pick based on which dealer modeler is being used. The one with the long fancy mustache tends to pick adjectives fancy words and is the only one who uses adverbs. The lady with the big eyes tends to pick animals and weapons. The guy with the apron on picks verbs the most (but not exclusively). When you get the twin dealers, though, it IS totally random! I guess it's like they have an inside joke going? Calstega Cook Off! [MGCO] In-Game Description: After the success of the first cooking competition, the people of Northcrook decided to run a regular Cook Off competition as part of a ‘neighborhood revitalization' effort.   The game basically counts on you paying attention during the first time this minigame shows up, because there is NO tutorialization after that. You're just dropped back into the town as if you're not even in a minigame. Once I loaded a save and was confused why I couldn't even leave the screen, because I forgot I saved after starting the Cook Off!   So : Step 1: Pay attention to the theme of Cook Off is. They say this up top and will NOT repeat it. 2. Try to learn the judge's tastes. Most of the time you can do this through a few skill checks, but once I had to do a duel, and once they made me do this weird tower puzzle (a minigame INSIDE of a minigame!?). 3. Come with good ingredients. Even though you can normally buy ingredients inside of a settlement (you have been doing that, right?) you can't do it once you start the Cook Off! Beachminton [MGBM] In-Game Description: The favorite pastime of Cenn's beach goers. Hit the Sandy Shuttlecock onto your opponent's side, but be careful not to break it!   I don't know anything about real badminton, except that every single word associated with it is funny. But Beachminton is pretty simple: Look at the sand ball to see how close it is to breaking apart: if it's in crisis you can see sand falling off of it while its in slow motion between rounds. If it's close to breaking, try to hit it with your weakest character and use any tricks you can to do low damage. If it's not close to breaking, try to hit it as hard as you can. At least that's how I play!

In this Two and a Half Gamers special, Matej, Felix & Jakub talk with Chen Yang (Iwae) from Cocos about how mini-games on WeChat, Douyin, Alipay, and Huawei stores are reshaping the mobile industry.

In this Two and a Half Gamers special, Matej and Felix sit down with Lemon (柠檬游戏说) — WeChat Mini-Game blogger, founder of Hyperjoy, and consultant for Scopely — to unpack the Chinese mini-game gold rush.Key insights:2024 market revenue: $7B+ (¥50B RMB).500M+ MAU, 400K+ dev teams183% YoY increase in advertisers; dev cycles: 4 weeks (hypercasual) to 3–6 months (hybrid/midcore).Balanced demographics: gender 50/50, strong 24–40 y/o core.Winners: 4X/SLG, Tower Defense Roguelike, Merge/Match.Declining: Hybrid RPGs, Simulation.Stable: Idle Card RPGs.60% of UA spend is concentrated in RPG, SLG, and TD.Day-1 payer retention is highest in RPG/4X (18–85%).Top GamesIce War: Three Kingdoms – Whiteout Survival clone w/ localized 3K theme.Bangbang Survivor – Top-grossing $1M+/day, IP expanding into 4X.Penguin Go! – Lucky Defense survivor, meta system differentiates it.Plant Master TD Go – Backpack TD hit (#5 grossing).永远的蔚蓝星球 (Summon & Merge TD) – $30M/month, global Q4 launch.Human Leap: Evolution – Top Douyin ad-mon gameSave the King – Royal Match UA creative turned into a WeChat hit ($70K/day ads).East ↔ West ExpansionWest → East: Supercell, Century Games, Scopely already entering WeChat mini-games.East → West: Galaxy Defense, Legend of Mushroom, Banban Survivor meta systems fueling crossovers.Success requires simplification of meta for Western markets.Takeaway: Mini-games are not “mini.” They're a $7B industry with complex metas, ruthless UA competition, and growing East–West crossover potential.Get our MERCH NOW: 25gamers.com/shop---------------------------------------This is no BS gaming podcast 2.5 gamers session.

(https://discord.gg/bptGyEWbk7) Buy me a coffee on Ko-fi (https://ko-fi.com/realdavejackson) Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio has risen to the gaming mainstream with its beloved Like a Dragon series, and when a hot streak occurs, a heat check often follows, and there is no bigger heat check than a game where you play through a Hawaiian pirate adventure starring the series' lovable maniac, Goro Majima. So why has Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii fallen out of the conversation, even among series diehards? Did the heat check connect, or is it the beginning of a downturn? All that and more in this great conversation.

You can watch Austin play through this section of the game right here. With Peragus behind us, the Exile takes some time to chat with Kreia, Atton, and T3-M4 before heading to the nearest safe port: Citadel Station, a city orbiting the ruined planet of Telos. There, the group run into some cops, deal with an assassin, and finally focus on the three most important things in KOTOR: 1. Talking. 2. Shopping. 3.

Das isländische Hochland birgt die Schönheit von Jahrtausenden. Dutzende Vulkane haben tonnenweise Lava und Gestein aus dem Inneren hervorgepresst. Darüberliegende Eisschichten haben das zu einem riesigen Gebirge zusammengedrückt und nach ihrem Rückzug tiefe Furchen hinterlassen. Durch dieses Hochplateau schlängelt sich der Laugavegur – der Weg der heißen Quellen – von Landmannalaugar bis nach Þórsmörk. Die etwa 54 Kilometer lange Tour ist der beliebteste Wanderweg der Insel und so etwas wie eine Einsteiger-Route für Island-Hiker. Wobei „Einsteiger“ mit Vorsicht zu genießen ist. Denn der Weg entlang brodelnder Schlammtöpfe, über messerscharfe Obsidiane, durch dunkle Sandwüsten und eiskalte Flüsse verlangt dem Menschen nicht nur gute Kondition und vorausschauende Planung, sondern auch eine gewisse Resilienz und Abenteuer-Lust ab. Denn selbst erfahrene Alpinisten müssen spätestens beim ersten Juli-Blizzard erkennen, dass die Uhren am Polarkreis häufig anders ticken. Michael Richmann und Merle Schaack haben sich für Zwischen Hamburg und Haiti auf dieses Abenteuer eingelassen und erzählen von anfänglichen Sicherheitsbedenken, spannenden Mini-Games im offenen Gelände, kalten Nächten im Zelt und der warmherzigen Geborgenheit isländischer Gastfreundschaft. Zurück in der Hauptstadt Reykajvík spüren sie den Ursprüngen der isländischen Küche nach, die so weit oben am Polarkreis und abseits der üblichen Handelsrouten ganz andere Wege eingeschlagen hat als der Rest Skandinaviens.
