What goes into taking a game that’s originally conceived for the desktop (like Solitaire Kingdom Supreme, for example) and adapting it for a portable touch screen? I think with Kindle, Amazon is reaching a whole different audience than the iPad, and the casual play of Slingo really fits in well for a quick reading break. They did a great job creating Slingo for Kindle, and now I love taking a break from what I’m reading for a quick Slingo fix. Have you seen all those new Kindle’s coming out? Very cool! Can’t wait to try Slingo for Kindle on them.įor the Kindle game, we teamed up with one of the earliest and best developers in the Kindle space right now: Gameblend. In addition to iOS, you’re one of the few game developers to approach the Kindle platform.

Poker Superstars is out on iPhone too, and it has been finding a nice audience who enjoys the PC version as well. We are working on getting the word out about Solitaire Kingdom Supreme so it can reach the same player that is enjoying Slingo Supreme, as it is getting lots of 5 star reviews too. We’ve been really psyched to see that, even a year after launched, it has maintained a great 1 or 2 spot in top Casino games, and a nice rank in Puzzle too, all with a solid 5 star rating after over 10,000 reviews, which I’m most proud of the team for. In terms of sales, how has it performed compared to its desktop counterpart? Slingo Supreme has been on the App Store for more than a year now. We design all our games to be Facebook ready, but are still figuring out whether we take them to Facebook ourselves, or to partner with a specific company that is in the business of running the service, so we can keep our focus on designing new games.

Our Guru Game Engine now takes our games seamlessly to PC, Mac, iPhone and iPad and future platforms are on the way, so it is very easy for us to code once, and then have the game travel to the various places people are playing.įacebook is a bit different because games as a service is a different business. We just keep our eye on making great new games, while making sure they will work anywhere where people play casual games. We are a design focused company, in that we focus on game design first, so we are platform agnostic.

Are there any plans to bring your games to other platforms, like Android or Facebook? We’ve already seen Funkitron releases like Slingo Supreme and Solitaire Kingdom Supreme make their way to Apple’s App Store. This has allowed us to avoid getting stung by the dynamic and ever changing nature of the game business.Ī lot of developers are shifting their focus to the growing markets of social and mobile. At Funkitron, we try to always come up with something new and different, like Trinklit Supreme, or put a really fun twist on a classic, like the Kingdom Cards in Solitaire Kingdom, that the casual market hasn’t seen before. I think some companies may have been stung as they chased the clone market, or possibly expected returns to be larger than reality. Solitaire Kingdom in particular has found quite a large number of fans, so we’ve released it on iPhone (iPad on the way) and are also creating Solitaire Kingdom Quest that I think players are going to really love. We’ve recently released Solitaire Kingdom Supreme and Slingo Quest Amazon as downloads, and both have been performing quite well in that space. Has Funkitron felt a similar sting in the downloads market? In recent months, we’ve heard from numerous casual PC developers that the downloads market isn’t what it once was. We recently had a chat with Funkitron’s President Dave Walls about the company’s continued success, passion for originality, and their desire to put games in front of gamers regardless of device. Take Funkitron for example – a developer that’s still putting out top notch casual titles without fail. Despite this fretful trend, though, some developers are still seeing great success. The fact is that it’s just harder to make profitable games in the current climate.
It’s all too often that we hear about a developer leaving the PC market behind for greener pastures, or worse yet, shutting their doors all together. The casual games marketplace can be a harsh mistress.
