• 03:40:27 pm on April 27, 2010 |

  JurieOnGames: @fbindie That's smart. It looks similar to what Pet Society does when you log in. (Increase max random prize if you log in x days in a row.)
   

• 03:33:09 pm on April 27, 2010 |

  JurieOnGames: @fbindie I will do my best... let's see if I can find the time (and the caffeine).

  JurieOnGames: I should write a blog post, but my standards for a blog post are higher than a tweet. And I shouldn't blog at work but I can tweet ;)
   

• 10:35:12 am on April 27, 2010 |

  JurieOnGames: (In case you're wondering: I've been thinking about this a *lot*. And I just had an espresso.)
   

• 10:34:47 am on April 27, 2010 |

  JurieOnGames: (The funny thing is some FPS devs in the mid 90s had a closer relationship with their players than most 'classical' devs today.)
   

• 10:34:13 am on April 27, 2010 |

  JurieOnGames: @AiGameDev Definitely.
   

• 10:33:34 am on April 27, 2010 |

  JurieOnGames: A lot of changes, and changes are scary. A lot of new skills to learn, and so a lot of new ways of failing.
   

• 10:33:00 am on April 27, 2010 |

  JurieOnGames: Lower barriers to entry. More platforms. Direct access. Disintermediation (insourcing, if you like). The common factor is the internet.
   

• 10:32:10 am on April 27, 2010 |

  JurieOnGames: @AiGameDev Absolutely. That is both cool and scary.
   

• 10:31:54 am on April 27, 2010 |

  JurieOnGames: Or rather, the rise of social games exemplifies several forces that have been growing over the last few years.
   

• 10:31:06 am on April 27, 2010 |

  JurieOnGames: In fact, the rise of social games is just ONE of several factors that put pressure on developers to change their attitudes to development.
   

• 10:29:28 am on April 27, 2010 |

  JurieOnGames: Seth Godin makes a strong argument in Purple Cow and Free Prize Inside that design = marketing. (In fact he says everything is marketing.)
   

• 10:27:47 am on April 27, 2010 |

  JurieOnGames: The rise of social games means more developers need to get comfortable with the concepts of marketing, selling and profit.
