This is a repost from a few years back and it's definitely one of my favorite episodes of all time. Kristian Segerstrale is the CEO Super Evil Megacorp, a games company based out of San Francisco. Kristian is a legend in gaming. He started his first games company Macrospace twenty years ago, which IPOed as Glu Mobile a few year later. Later he sold his second company Playfish to EA in 2009.

We talk about so many things, like what Caro learned from working at Playfish and building the London studio for King, then on hiring, team building, and how execution on your core gameplay matters so much when you are building games in established game genres.

Transcription Welcome to honest talk about heartbreak, dating and relationships, relationships, the podcast helping you navigate your path to happy ever after with your host, Rob McPhillips. Sanjay is the creator of a dating app called Like If I just pass you over, Sanjay, you want to just give people a little bit of details about what what I can find out from you. And yeah. So yeah. So I think I'm seeing some of you guys on this floor. But yes, I'm the founder of a dating app called a late just kind of launching at the moment. And I not traditionally from the dating world, like I actually worked in kind of marketing and business. And it's kind of different companies I go to and stuff. But we got into the dating world more recently and working with a kind of a company called Nucleated to build this app and trying to build something a little bit different. So, yeah. So it would be really interesting to hear what you guys kind of think and what your frustrations and stuff with the generally. And then I'll try and give you a little bit of an insight on what it's like to kind of build one and what it's like to kind of try and match people in an app. Okay. Well, thank you for being here, Sanjay. Well, while we're waiting for everyone to get on, what we'll do is we'll breakout into breakout rooms. And a topic of discussion is what what is your biggest frustration with dating apps? Hi, and I would say for me on my personal experience, like over the past, I'll say eight years, like it started off with plenty of fish and plenty of fish. And eventually, I got to say, this was like a year ago, I finally decided I just gave up without and deleted it off of delete. It did not, like, clear my whole profile on the actual site. So I just delete the app because basically. On plenty of fish, for example. I was just never getting any messages from girls that I was interested in. I was just so basically I would always browse through girls close close to my area and I'll drop a message. I'll drop a message I try to make. I tried my best to make the message. The first message, like how you call. Not to basic, but some to some until I start a conversation, and even now I still get I don't get a single message. I know they've seen my message. They've lots of high profile, but they don't respond back. So that's one. That's one. That's one frustration. Okay, I'll just put you there. That's what we're going to do, is we're going to go into breakout rooms so we can discuss this in smaller groups. So if you want to discuss it there and what we're going to do is come back to Sanjay's brains of how to find a solution for you. OK, OK, so I'm just going to send everyone in, will go for 12 minutes, so I'm going to force you should be about four minutes each. I cut you off. I don't know if you want to carry on where you were. Lost from my screen tastelessness. OK, I'll start off like I've been I've been on pretty much every social media to dating sites over the over the years, and for me, me and girls is basically just anything I do to try and like, I just try and get any girls I want. It's just nothing seems to work for me because I never get anywhere because. Do you think I get with girls it's just endless rejections or time wasters who they're not interested, but they enjoy, like wasting my time one way or another. So I've tried many dating sites from 10 to from Playfish to tender to Cupid to him, you name it. And as I mentioned before, with with plenty of fish, I've actually had plenty of fish over a year ago because I was I wasn't getting nowhere like. And every girl that I've met on that, no no one wanted to say basically, I just got one girl have got back to me, lots of my profile, but none of them got back to me. So I finally gave

In this episode, Teri welcomes Jeferson Valadares, the CEO and Co-founder of Doppio Games, a voice-first game studio based in Lisbon, Portugal.Welcome, Jeferson!Jeferson was the lead designer on the studio's debut title “The Vortex”, available for Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and smartphones. Before Doppio, Jeferson was the VP/GM of mobile at Bandai Namco, studio GM at Electronic Arts and executive producer at BioWare in San Francisco; Studio director at Playfish and creative director at EA Mobile in London; and game development director at Digital Chocolate's Sumea studio in Helsinki.He has spoken many times at the Game Developers Conference and is an active member of the developer community. He is also one of the founders of IGDA Online Games SIG, and was involved in the publishing of their 2005 Mobile Games Whitepaper.BackgroundHe’s been making games for 20 years and currently likes making games for voice platforms.He used to make mobile games and moved up in his profession to work with EA Mobile, Playfish, BioWare, and Bandai Namco. Eventually he branched out to start his own company, Doppio.He was always excited about interactive stories and voice was a great way to go into that.With voice entertainment being fairly new, he sees some creative and business opportunities there, which is how he started Doppio with his co-founder Chris Barnes.They released their first game, “The Vortex” on Alexa in 2018 just to see what the market was like.They got some investors and used the money to hire a bigger team and set up an office in Portugal.They released their second game, “The 3% Challenge” in 2019.Negative Response From Traditional GamersTraditional gamers look down on voice games because they prefer high quality graphics and other features; which voice doesn’t offer.That happens with every new platform, for example, when the first mobile phone came out, they were not meant for gaming but the minute they had a screen, they had the simple snake game. Today, mobile phone games are very advanced.The VortexWhen they started out, he learnt that when making games for a new platform, things don’t always work as well as expected.They didn’t want to do a “branchy” game so they designed the game to be where someone could say anything. They also wanted it to make sense to their target audience, so they settled on a sci-fi theme where the gamer wakes up from a cryofrozen state in a colonist ship. The person is conscious but their body is frozen, so all they can do is give orders to robots in the ship.The 3% ChallengeThey wanted to do something different with this game by stretching things farther.They made it more of a conversational and social game where a gamer could interact with other people.It has both a story mode where a gamer goes through chapters depending on their choices and a branchy mode that is more conversational.They kind of developed the game with their audience because they applied a lot of what they learned from the analytics of how people spoke to the game and the words they said.They are working on releasing chapter 7 and 8 of the game.Tips for Game DesignersWatching and understanding what a platform is good for, and working with that is more advisable.An example with voice is how it evolves every few months.After watching a platform and figuring out what it’s all about, one can come up with a way to create something fun and interactive.He advises game developers not to obsess about copying successful games and focus more on creating something different.List of resources mentioned in this episodeVocal ID WebsiteThe Comprehensive Flash Briefing Formula CourseThe VortexThe 3% ChallengeDoppio Games WebsiteDoppio on TwitterDoppio on FacebookOther useful resources:Voice in Canada: The Flash BriefingComplete List of Alexa CommandsAlexa-Enabled and Controlled Devices in CanadaTeri Fisher on TwitterAlexa in Canada on TwitterAlexa in Canada Facebook PageAlexa in Canada Community Group on FacebookAlexa in Canada on InstagramPlease leave a review on iTunesShopping on Amazon.ca See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Hvordan blir du en spillgründer? Og hva er det som gjør oss så avhengige av spill? I denne episoden av #LØRN snakker Silvija med tidligere spillgründer, Kim Daniel Arthur, om hvordan han bygde selskapet Playfish, som han senere solgte til spillgiganten EA Sports for 2,4 milliarder kroner.— Tidligere var spillteknologi en veldig spesifik gren, men nå har den blitt blandet inn i mange andre teknologier. Jeg føler ikke spillteknologi har et eget hjem, men jeg tror nøkkelen er grensesnittet mellom underholdning og et funksjonelt teknisk produkt, forteller han i episoden.Dette lørner du:Game.TechSpillutviklingInnovasjonBusiness See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Susan MacTavish Best is the founder & CEO of Living MacTavish. She hosts salons around the world on a diverse range of topics bringing together an eclectic array of influencers she knows into one room. At these salons Susan mixes cocktails and cooks for all of her guests, then interviews an expert or two on a specific topic followed by a live music performance. In an era of always-on one’s phone, always connected to technology, Susan brings people together informally and imperfectly, and encourages them to look each other in the eye and have a spirited conversation all the while tickling their senses with tasty food, yummy smells, interesting debates and live music. Susan sits on the advisory board of the Berkeley Center for New Media at UC Berkeley and the Quantitative Biosciences Institute at UC San Francisco. Susan has been on the advisory board of a handful of startups, and has worked closely mentoring many entrepreneurs.When she was 24, Susan founded Best Public Relations, a firm that specialized in influencing the public, the media and the influencers themselves around the globe. She handled the public relations needs for dozens of companies including: Bankrate, craigslist, Esurance, Founders Fund, Hampton Creek, Klout, LaLa, LuLu, MainStreet.com, Olivia, Playfish, Quid, Smugmug, Spoonflower, VentureBeat and YouNoodle. Susan was an Executive Producer of craigslistTV, the TV series that originated out of craigslist. In the mid 90’s Susan went back to night school to learn how to code and, as a result, started Posthoc, one of the first online guides to San Francisco which she grew into a local resource managing over 100 volunteer editors and writers. Susan graduated from Hamilton College with a BA in History. During a one year stint at St. Hilda’s College, Oxford University, she was co-Editor of the UK’s longest running university magazine, The ISIS, following in the shoes of past editors Evelyn Waugh, Graham Greene, John Betjeman and Sylvia Plath. While a student at Oxford, Susan won an internship at The Sunday Times (London), where she sat on the Transportation Desk outside the office of editor Andrew Neil. Here, she lasted two weeks until she realized sitting behind a desk writing about transportation news was not her calling. She left one Friday lunchtime on a train to Europe abruptly ending her journalism career. Other early jobs included Soda Jerk during summers in Connecticut at a nuclear submarine shipyard and Pickle Packer at Emandal Farm in Mendocino County. Susan lives in Soho in NYC, SF, and on the Big Sur Coast. She is a long distance trail runner. Susan grew up in Scotland, and went to school at St. Leonards in St. Andrews.

Kim Daniel Arthurs fantastiske reise startet som 6-åring i en kjeller i Tromsø, og endte med en kjempeexit da selskapet Playfish ble solgt til den internasjonale spillgiganten Electronic Arts. Nå forteller han om den store overgangen fra å jobbe i en dynamisk startup til å bli sjef i et stort selskap, med hånda på rattet i spill som Fifa og Sims - nedturen da han plutselig opplevde seg selv som en kjip prosessdude. I podcasten forteller han om sin oppskrift på kreativitet, om hvordan det var å legge ned det gamle Playfish-miljøet i Tromsø som sjef i Electronic Arts, om hva han mener er en god skole, hvordan han selv investerer i startups, og mye mye mer.
