Can you make a perfect mobile game? At Sooqista Studios, Perfection is never the goal, but getting as close to it as possible is what we're all about. My team and I put a lot of effort into making Fractalians look and play better. Sometimes we take things out, and sometimes we add new stuff. We only have one goal in mind: To make a game that mobile players love a game they want to play by themselves, with friends, or even with people they don't know. This is just a little taste of what we've been working on, and we're not done yet. We think that the best games are made when people are passionate about what they're doing, keep trying new things, and as a team we listen to each other. 💬 And hey, what do you think is the one thing that makes you keep playing a mobile game? pls share your thoughts below.

It's exciting to see Turkish developers achieving so much on Steam, marking a promising trend for the industry. 📈 The success of Liar's Bar, reaching over 100k concurrent players, shows how Turkish studios are now making a mark beyond mobile platforms, targeting a global audience with fresh concepts and engaging mechanics. 🎮 Liar’s Bar creatively combines co-op gameplay with a gritty, Zootopia-esque setting, capturing the interest of players worldwide and reflecting a broader appetite for indie innovation. This rise of Turkish developers like Curve Animation, with other recent hits like Kebab Chefs! and Supermarket Simulator, demonstrates the growing ambition and talent within Turkey's gaming sector. Shout out to Evgeny Obedkov for shedding light on this in his article at Game World Observer 👏 😁 #Gaming #indiegame #Turkey

And so it begins again. It's hard to explain to some how serious some players can be when they play a video game, though we have some names: Competitive. Sweaty. Try-hard. (Insert favorite joke/meme here.) And now, it's come to Helldivers 2, who nerfed some content and buffed some others. It's great to see IGN Entertainment covering the community with articles titled: Helldivers 2 Players Are Kicking Teammates Who Don’t Have ‘Meta’ Loadouts and Helldivers 2 Dev Admits ‘Having Your Favorite Toy Nerfed Absolutely Sucks’, but Calls on Players to Give Changes a Chance This is great for a few reasons: 🤣 It's funny! And in humor comes memes like the one below. 😬 Players care! And our games media is paying attention! I love this so much. 🍿 It's great storytelling. Even if you're not playing Helldivers 2 at a competitive level, it's engaging stuff. I know patches and updates and nerfs and buffs are always a bit of a controversial deal for gaming communities but when applied well, they keep your game fresh and potentially can serve as a source of meta-storytelling, like Helldivers 2 is enjoying right now. Now, go manage some democracy because freedom isn't free from the tyranny of bugs. #gamedevelopment #gamepublishing #gamemarketing #community

📢 OUR TENTH EPISODE IS AVAILABLE NOW ON SPOTIFY 📢 🔥 Coming hot off the press after yesterday's blog, Hidden Levels with Haptic's tenth episode, 'Games that Inspire: Professionals Discuss the Games that Brought Them to the Industry', is a true gem and a must-listen for video game developers. 🤔 Everyone who has worked in the video game industry or wants to join it has a favourite game that sparked the inspiration and desire to create great things. As we have cited many times before, video games are a work of art and passion; naturally, people join the industry wishing to improve upon what came before. 😎 When our Head of Contracts, Jordan Lound, brought this subject to our guests this week, he didn't just get answers. He ended up hosting a fantastic conversation that touched upon all aspects of video game development and our modern relationship with art, culture, and appreciation of the finer things in life. 🙌🏻 Jordan was joined by: Afonso Ferreira | Art Director | DECA Games Jonathan Breese | Senior Narrative Designer | Formerly at Frontier Developments Luigi Fusco | Game Director | DR Studios Connor Curran | Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist | IO Interactive 🎙️ What are you waiting for?

38 people. We have a team of 38 wonderful people with which we'll be doing the #ludumdare game jam this weekend. We built a friggen' AA sized studio. In about two weeks. For a 72 hour roadmap... AND I AM SO GOD DAMN EXCITED HOLY SHIT! 🚀 About two months ago I wrote a post to the gloriously supportive Indie Game Academy community in which I pitched the idea of a giant-sized game jam team. My theory was that by working on such a large team we'd get a ton of practice with production systems, team management, and collaboration. Just a few days after the post, Rick Williams took it upon himself to wrangle all the folks who said they'd be interested. And then recruited Claire Wilshire to act as our producer. 🔥 We have since hammered out a roadmap, production pipelines, an org chart, and the skeletal designs necessary to build a AA quality game in just 72 hours. We have a design team, an art team, an audio team, a friggen' marketing team, a friggen' *voice acting team*... Like, I just can't describe how excited I am for this! And how privileged I am to have so many of you wonderful game devs who trust me enough to hand me the reigns for such a significant project. My fiancé made a joke that I've founded another startup. I promise I didn't, lol! SO! Look forward to hearing incredible things about "Untitled Narrative RPG." More info coming soon. Launch on 4/15/2024. ✨ Watch for Constantin "The Gaming Copywriter" Dumitru, our head of marketing. And major props to our other leads (and of course the entire team!): Sangita Nuli, Dennis Gilham, Bruce Dellinger, Jamie Whitmarsh Are you excited? Who wants to take bets on whether or not we deliver? 🤔 #gamedev #gamedevelopment #gamedeveloper #gamejam #hackathon #indiegamedev #AAgame #unity3d #narrativerpg #narrativegames #gaming #videogames #

Review Radar #6 📡 is back with 13 games that we already covered on the podcast in last 3 months, as we keep them on our "radar" 😅. Get the latest status updates from big names such as Peak, Supercell, Zynga, Netmarble, miHoYo, AppQuantum, ABI Game Studio, Space Ape Games, 😎. Peak game's Match Factory hasn't peaked 😅 yet and is still scaling up scoring the studio a hattrick of 3rd successful big hit 😁. On the other hand both Wood Nuts & Bolts and Chrome Valley customs are scaling down, probably because of the fierce opposition from Century Games's Truck Star 🚚 for the latter. The Banana Steam game is still keeping around 350K average monthly CCU as it seems bot farms just won't let go this dream to waste 😅🤖. Supercell's SquadBusters is keeping stable numbers, with continuous frequent iteration, with Star Chest ⭐ system being the latest metagame addition. Same goes for miHoYo's Zenless Zone Zero, which is keeping up its usual 3 week content treadmill with stable performance. Korean hits are also still killing it, with Lucky Defense adding finally a new character and TREEPLLA's Office Cat CEO still being more rich 🤑. Join us as we discuss all of these games with Matej 🦩& Felix Braberg 😎.
