He explained how the difference between hardcore games and casual games is on the simplicity vs. Differentiating on how difficult they are to learn. A casual game must therefore have a simple set of mechanisms to attract the gamer, a set of mechanisms that are: Easy to learn, but takes a lifetime to master.
Below is a few slides from the presentation, where an hardcore game is being used as an example. July 29, in Uncategorized by Marc Leave a comment. It is the final day of the conference. It is easy to see that everyone is done with being at the conference; several of the stands are closing down, and many have already left. Maybe the big party the night before is also keeping some from coming in, not us, we want to make the must of the trip, and we still have some meetings to take care of. We met up with Chris from FlashGameLicens, a few different payment providers, and a company that can make animations for our pre-loaders.
After waking up and feeling like we had eaten and entire cow each, we got in the car and headed for downtown to attend the conference. However, I did like the photo shoot they had at the entrance. The band — yes there was a band — was actually pretty cool, but played their songs way too long, the only thing that kept me from falling a sleep was following Maya twittering with Charles about escaping from the award show.
The MC was, however, really good. He was funny and was almost able to make the award show worth attending, but then again I am still sitting here with a feeling that I lost 2 hours of my life that I will never get back.
Ok, so the first evening venue was not a perfect match to what we were looking for, but the next one was. The Nickelodeon party was at the Seattle Aquarium with an open bar. It was a great venue and everyone looked to have a great time, and touching fish became a lot more fun after a couple of beers and Captain Morgan with Coke. What maybe also made the party so much better was the fact that we knew so many more people. July 24, in Uncategorized Tags: buenos aires grill , meat by Marc 1 comment.
Here is how much meat there was — notice that the two piles are only for 4 persons!! July 24, in Uncategorized by Marc Leave a comment. The day is far from over, but the formal part with presentations and walking around to booths are over, now the fun part starts — socializing!
We will hopefully take some pictures and upload them tomorrow. July 24, in Uncategorized Tags: ada chen , micro transanction , payment api by Marc Leave a comment. Ada Chen gave the best presentations so far, on advertisement in casual games. A lot of interesting points, I took some pictures of the slides, and I will post them when I have time to type them.
Anyway, what can we expect we released it Monday, so of course the whole community around flash does know about, but they will. He thought it was interesting that we did something physical to relax and not just played a casual game! I guess we are not that addicted and hardcore gamers like the women over 35 years in one of the panels today, whom used hours every morning playing games. Berner took some pictures of us, and asked a few questions, so hopefully it will end up being a little bit of free advertisement.
I will post a link to the article about the conference tomorrow. Finally it was my turn to write about my self on our official Nonoba blog, and I was thinking about what to write since I am not one of the programmers, so what would the developers and hardcore games want to know about me?? July 23, in Uncategorized by Marc 1 comment. The flight went perfect and we arrived at our hotel at 7PM. It was a nice party, thanks Mochi, we got our badges, a couple of drinks, and met a few people, we talked to Ira from onemorelevel.

I also really like playing video games ever since I got my first one back in , an Intellivision if anyone remembers those. I always thought games were much more fun than programming, and when my friends got Commodore 64s, I got a Nintendo NES instead.
They had to wait for their games to load from the old cassette tapes, I just popped in the game cartridge and was ready to play immediately, just like it should be!
So for me, Nonoba is a really great place to be. July 16, in Uncategorized by Marc 2 comments. With , plays for a week, Nonoba Uno has set the target for the future weekly competitions.
It is by far the largest amount of plays a game has received during a week, since the competition started in the first week of June. From all of Nonoba , well done Mystery , and thank you for naming it Nonoba Uno , that was not a request from us. Now the question is — can any game beat Nonoba Uno for the monthly price??
We will see. July 15, in Uncategorized by Marc Leave a comment. Yes I know, that was a cheesy headline, but it is cool how many plays Nonoba Uno has. Someone out there must have been missing someone to play cards with. Nonoba Uno suddenly accelerated and blasted past Bombators , whom was leading big in amount of plays.
Nonoba Uno has at the moment , plays for the month of July, and we are only half way into July with more games being uploaded everyday. Nonoba Uno does look like a monthly winner, but you never know, a lot of games have been uploaded lately. This included Youdagames , who have uploaded 8 of their games; all of which are very professional including the card game — Governor of Poker. Anyway, we will see how it goes, good luck to you all in the competition, now I am gonna go play some Uno — The multiplayer game Uno of course Create a free website or blog at WordPress.
