Delivered at Casual Connect Europe 2015

What defines casual? How big an experience can you deliver before you are no longer a "casual" game? I will explore the definition of scale and complexity in casual games and how the traditional casual audience is changing as they move onto the next tier of gameplay. I will share my experiences in managing game production and designs and trying to appeal to different player types on Age of Empires Online and the upcoming Game of Thrones from Bigpoint Entertainment.
