81 Simon Boxer (Bounce House) & Loot Boxes and Crates: Games as a service
Update: 2017-10-14
Description
Simon
Boxer of Twice Different joins us this week to talk about making his brand
new mobile game, ,
a colourful endless runner style side scroller. As you propel yourself along this
bouncy world, you won’t let those pesky children have all the fun, all while
avoiding the obstacles and staying in the bounce. We spoke to Simon about
making his game with a team that is spread between Melbourne, Perth and
Brisbane and his inspiration for making the game. You can get Bounce right now
on the Apple
App Store and the Google
Play Store
There has been a
fair bit of outcry this week around lootboxes
and in-app purchases, so we explore the shift in the way we spend our money
on gaming, and the relatively recent major shift to games as services. Over the
last few years we’ve seen a rise in service based platforms and it doesn't seem
to show any signs of slowing. Have we seen the end of the traditional one-off
purchase?
