Robert Podgorski
Html5 Game Creator, Founder of BlackMoon Design, Poznan PL
Steam, AppStore, Google Play – we have all know those success stories. But most developers struggle with visibility on all those overcrowded marketplaces. BlackMoon chose a different road, far less travelled. Robert presents game platforms we haven´t heard of or haven?t considered valid. He talks about his experience with creating and publishing games on platforms that are either long forgotten or too small and unimportant for the big companies to look into. Examples include a game portal in Pakistan, phone manufacturers in India or a bus service in Spain. In those (and more) cases the studio was able to find audiences for their games that nobody else was interested in talking to. This enabled them not only to make good business but also created a bond between their games and their players.
After the talk, Robert discusses with Michael Hartinger (Bloodirony Games) the present and future of casual mobile games with html5.
