Korby made his way to Casual Connect last week. While it grew out of the casual games phenomenon, the conference has migrated in focus to social and mobile games. The focus on mobile was especially strong this year as Korby tells us in the new podcast.We also chat about the best sessions of the week. While some very smart developers divulged secrets to success, the biggest hit may have been a panel of everyday moms.
Also, we have an interview with hi5′s John Szeder who fills us in on why he thinks the new Facebook credit rules won’t work and what hi5 is trying instead. He also believes there’s more room for social games to dig into modern themes and offers some examples.
