DESCRIPTION
How many times do you need to fail before you hit a successful title? What was the design focus behind the original Angry Birds title? What are the production ingredients for successfully crossing the finish line? In this presentation we talk about the challenges of realising a great idea and taking it from the prototyping phase to the AppStores and the web. The success story of Rovio from the original Angry Birds title all the way to Angry Birds Star Wars.
