RIP Space Ape Games: 70 join Supercell London, and 30 laid off

As reported by MobileGamer, Space Ape Games is no more. Following Supercellโ€™s full acquisition in November 2024, the studioโ€™s fate has now taken shape: 70 staff join Supercell London, 30 are laid off, and the rest take their projects to new homes. Supercell confirmed that โ€œaround 70โ€ former Space Ape employees will be part of Supercell London, marking a major expansion of the Finnish giantโ€™s UK presence. Meanwhile, Chrome Valley Customs and Fastlane are moving to Offroad Games, a new startup led by ex-Space Ape GM Geoffrey Gilles, bringing along 10-12 team members. Transformers: Earth Wars shifts to Chinese publisher Yodo1, which will now handle the game globally, taking 10 Space Ape employees with it. Unfortunately, around 30 staff were left without roles, though Supercell reportedly worked to minimize layoffs and support transitions. Some declined offers at Supercell or the […]

Game Development Renaissance: LiveOps & Forever Games

For many game developers, 2025 looks set to be the dawn of a new creative and technological era. The industry is in the midst of a transformation in which the best games arenโ€™t necessarily the newest, but rather the smartest in how they evolve and endure. That's the view of industry veteran John Wright, who believes we're no longer talking about short-lived hits, but โ€˜forever gamesโ€™ - titles that thrive for a decade or more. Read on to learn why John reckons the studios that master live operations, embrace smart monetization, and leverage external tools will be the ones defining the industryโ€™s next golden age. Why Live Service Games will be the Backbone of 2025โ€™s Top Games โ€œThe biggest successes in 2024 didnโ€™t come from new games,โ€ John tells us. โ€œThey came from live ops.โ€ The data backs this up.

The Mobile Ad Monetization: 11

I always joked that a term that was used in the early days of mobile gaming was: โ€œIf you want to win, hire a Finn๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ฎ.โ€ Now I say, โ€œIf you want to make it work, Hire a Turk๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ทโ€ The Turkish gaming market has seen some crazy exits throughout the years. Iโ€™d argue that the Turkish gaming scene is now in its third generation or cohort of gaming companies. We had the first generation led by Peak Games, which Zynga acquired for $1.8 billion. The second generation of gaming companies, led by Dream Games, which just announced that itโ€™s raising $2.5 billion in a financing round. So, the way I see it, weโ€™re now in the 3rd Generation of Turkish Gaming companies. Itโ€™s early days, but Iโ€™ve made a list of which 3rd-generation Turkish Studios I think are most likely to […]

Hallo Fam, Crazy how Hamburg is enjoying amazing weather this week while Istanbul is buried under snow! โ˜ƒ๏ธ Guess I should study Geography to make sense of it... or maybe it's just global warming doing its thing, huh? Game of the Week ๐Ÿญ Candy Crush Solitaire by King Having its global launch on Feb 6th, looking at the numbers the game did just $260K on 3M+ downloads. Doesn't seem like the result King was looking for. Why? ๐Ÿค” Compared to competitors, and there are many, there is one major change in core gameplay, where players can store 1 extra card as another "connecting" card, instead of just linear connecting all the cards on the board. This gives them much more tactical gameplay โš”๏ธ, where they can save this card for later when they run out of their current chain to […]
