A concise inside view of the mobile game business.

This week:

  • Is it the last roll of the dice for Supercell’s monster hunting game Mo.co…? It was rebooted after struggling to get much traction, and is earning way less than Squad Busters did before that was killed
  • Fortnite is back on the iOS App Store worldwide (minus Australia), and so of course Epic took a couple of swings at Apple as part of the announcement
  • Nintendo has a new mobile game coming out, which looks a bit like WarioWare, but based on your photos
  • A brisk look at what’s going on with Embracer’s mobile arm – essentially CrazyLabs, A Thinking Ape and Deca – which seems to be struggling and might be next to be sold off 
  • Quick thoughts on those Wooga layoffs and how not to announce job cuts
  • A rattle through Apple’s Design Awards nominees, which include Inkle, FuturLab, Devolver and the minds behind Arknights: Endfield
  • Rapidfire jobs, data and new games news
  • A very noisy passing motorbike right at the end of the podcast that really put me off my stride
