Intro: Welcome to the Mobile GameDev Playbook.

GameRefinery’s VP of Games Joel Julkunen joins host Jon Jordan along with special guest Deon Moh, Gaming Marketing Lead for APAC at Facebook. We’ll also be exploring the winning features common to the most popular RPGs and how game developers can build games that their fans will genuinely love. We’re joined by Facebook Gaming to explore the differences and similarities in RPG design across the four main markets as well as what RPG fans are looking for in their games.

With a specific eye on RPG’s, the podcast takes an in-depth look at genre fulfilment, community, monetisation and ad preferences for RPG’s. Titled ‘Genre and great games – Understanding Audiences and Designing Better Mobile Games’, the report provides valuable genre-level insight across mobile games in the US, UK, South Korea and Japan. Drawing from insights gained from Facebook and GameRefinery’s brand new report on mobile gaming genres, this episode of the Mobile GameDev Playbook delves into the popular RPG Genre.
