Digital card games on mobile are becoming huge, with Hearthstone leading the pack -- and former Disney man Graham Hopper is back with Days of Discord.
"Before I managed dozens of products at any given time, and the amount of time I could spend on any one game was limited. Here, I’m focused, and the cost of creating games is much lower. You have a chance to be much more innovative, compared to the high-risk, high-budget console games."
- Graham Hopper, founder, Muti Labs
He used to run Disney's game biz -- steering it through a tumultuous time in the console market before ultimately exiting the company -- but Graham Hopper is back with a mobile card-game dev called Muti Labs that comprises a number of veterans of the console space.
The company plans to hit the market with Days of Discord, a trading-card game which offers both depth and speedy play, Hopper tells VentureBeat. The game soft-launched in Australia last month.
The card-game space is heating up; VentureBeat pegs its value at $1.2 billion dollars alone. Rage of Bahamut was an early hit, while Blizzard's successful Hearthstone has created a tremendous amount of interest.
