Crazy ideas, trial and error, and a clash of themes like koalas versus leprechauns are all part of the journey in creating slot games.
A new series titled "Behind the Reels" from iGB takes a closer look at the intricate process that transforms concepts into gameplay.
In its inaugural episode, Dr. Eyal Loz from RubyPlay speaks with Tristan Esaid of Koala Games about the challenge of bringing fresh ideas to familiar themes. They ponder whether the traditional leprechaun theme remains innovative enough for today's online gaming audience.
Loz expresses skepticism about the original appeal of leprechauns, stating, "Leprechauns sound not so original. Go crazy! Go big or go home! When we talk about really big, innovative, and impactful ideas that’s not what I had in mind."
The discussion also reveals insights into the development of Voltage Blitz Vortex and Voltage Blitz Rapid. Interestingly, these titles began as a pitch for yet another leprechaun-themed game, highlighting the creative evolution in game design.
