The Rise and Decline of 2D Narrative Mobile Games: What's Next? 2D narrative-based games, where player choices impact the story, have been a big hit in the gaming world. Unlike simple runner games, these require detailed characters, animations, and backgrounds. Games like Save the Girl (150M+ downloads) and Comic Bobs (130M+ downloads) saw huge success, with publishers like Lion Studios and SayGames leading the way. However, downloads for these games have recently dropped by 90%. This decline raises an important question: Is it still worth creating these high-effort games, or can new features bring them back to life? Developers might need to innovate with new gameplay elements or hybrid approaches to attract players again. The challenge is tough, but the potential is huge. What do you think is the future for these games? #GamingCommunity #CasualGames #MobileGaming #GameDevelopment #Innovation #NarrativeGames

2D narrative-based games, where player choices drive the story toward success or failure, have significantly impacted the gaming industry. Unlike hyper casual runners that focus on simple level designs, these games demand an ongoing creation of rich characters, detailed animations, and intricate backgrounds to propel each storyline. Initially spurred by Playrix-inspired "fake ads or mini games," the genre saw a tremendous uptake, amassing over a billion downloads with popular titles like PUBLISHED BY Lion Studios 1) Save the Girl - 150m +downloads 2) Girl Genius - 50m+downloads 3) Hey Girl [by BARS STUDIO] - 2 million + downloads 4) Girl Next Door [by Wixot led by Mehmet Uysal , Sinan Tözer , Onur Yildirim , Begüm Gencer Tözer  ] - 10m+ downloads 5) Pull him out by Ming xu - 100 m + downloads 6) Clue hunter - 100m + downloads PUBLISHED BY SAYGAMES 1) Comic Bobs by PLAYSTROM and published by SayGames [led by Yegor Vaikhanski , Anton Volnykh , Aliaksandr Chabrouski ,Vitaliy Podvysotskiy , Dennis Vaihanski , Vesna Pekhouskaya ]. - 130 million + downloads Say Games and Lion studios are some of those publishers who are able to crack this narrative genre with huge volume of downloads across their belt. There are good number of other publishers and studios too with more than 10 million + downloads in this genre .Despite their initial popularity, 2D narrative-based games now face a steep market decline with downloads dropping by 90%. This sharp downturn prompts a crucial question for developers: is continuing in this high-effort, low-return genre viable under current market conditions, or could innovative new features reignite interest and drive in-app purchases?  #GamingCommunity #CasualGames #StrategyGames #MobileGaming #GameSuccessStories #hybridcasual #NextBigGames #Lionstudios #saygames #narrativegames

Hello to all hybrid casual game developers out there! I've noticed an intriguing game mechanic that's catching on quickly. It's a creative blend of merge mechanics and strategic space management, all wrapped up with a combat twist. This mechanic is becoming popular among various studios, but there's one game CHESTMASTER by SLOMO  in particular that stands out for executing this mechanic exceptionally well. It's clear that mastering this combination of merging and space management, especially with effective monetization strategies, could very well set the stage for the next big gaming trend The fusion of merge mechanics with dynamic space management offers a fresh, engaging gameplay experience we're excited about. This could be the next major game trend according to us. Would love to hear any other thoughts or suggestions. #GamingCommunity #CasualGames #StrategyGames #MobileGaming #GameSuccessStories #hybridcasual #NextBigGames
