Luke Muscat is no stranger to success in the mobilegaming world. I didnt feel like I was learning that much with each new game, he says. One that would force him to master every aspect of game creation, from coding to marketing. One thing I do to try and balance this out a little is work in an office one day a week.
The mobilegaming industry has exploded recently. Developers are constantly seeking the best tools to create engaging, high-performance games that can run smoothly on a wide range of Android devices. Two of the most popular game enginesUnity and Unreal are the top choices for Android game development.
Attendees can also check out Ada, a prototype in-game NPC powered by the MetaHuman Animator in Unreal Engine and Amazon Bedrock. Another demonstration will allow lounge visitors to play video games streamed from Amazon Luna while learning about the studios and services involved in the development process.
The team includes 4 founding members ( Goodness Omogbadegun , James Ohia , Ephraim Duvbiama and Ikpeme) and 9 teammates, which allows Ikpeme to balance his full-time job and his role at Dash Studios. From that moment, Ikpeme was determined to bring the game to life. Trusting your team is crucial.
When it comes to what would increase already very high job satisfaction, pay is the primary driver (37%) with interesting projects (17.0%) and better work/life balance (14%%) trailing as the second and third factors. Although I am surprised of pay is so important for increased happiness. But this is why we do surveys.
This is a well-balanced team in terms of disciplines, covering software, design, and art. And seems it provides a solid ground to start hiring the rest of the team, while they start prototyping their ideas. Not sure how they will prototype fast enough until they get some. And past experience in entrepreneurship.
Last week in Istanbul, Google and Deconstructor of Fun brought together a thousand-strong group of high-level mobilegame execs to talk about the future of the business. His data and insights were based on US data as a proxy for the western market, and focused on platform privacy, or the “Apple global mobilegame recession”.
They oversee both the foundation and execution of the game mechanics and overall user experience. Some game designers focus on combat balance, using spreadsheets and simulations to provide challenges without impossibility. Some hone in on game controls, trying to make them responsive and meaningful to players.
The only true bright spot was Art of War , which despite prototype level production quality has scaled up to over 5M in net revenue a month with no stop in sight! Over the years, Supercell’s portfolio has become slightly more balanced, with other games than the Clashes bringing in a more significant portion of the revenue.
Thus a full breakdown of the newly released game is warranted. Especially since the game seeks to dominate the puzzle genre, which is the largest and arguably the most competitive genre in mobilegames. This is similar to the main function of current switcher games (complete X objective in Y moves).
Hence, themed victory conditions were out for Old World , but we needed something in place, especially since we were playing MP within a few months of early prototyping. A set of varied goals is now standard practice in mobilegaming, and if it can work for a game played with a thumb, it can also work for a 4X game.
In order to achieve that goal, the game had to overcome two major challenges: it had to be free-to-play and it had to appeal to the Chinese audience. Given the lack of copyright enforcement, all western games were pirated, making premium games a losing proposition.

Some people may be familiar with my past work : uncanny CG beefcake sex games that toy with hardcore gamer aesthetics, which only run on laptop / desktop computers. For the longest time, I've wanted to make a gay mobilegame, but I was unsure how to get my queer politics past Apple and Google's anti-sexuality censors.
