So when most people think of mobile games, images of Candy Crush Soda Saga and 2048 spring to mind. What theydon'tthink of are the kinds of mobile games Disruptor Beam makes: the art design, the gameplay, and interfaces of DB's games form one of the more compelling arguments that you can create not just a decent mobile tie-in game, but a great one. FromGame of ThronestoTheWalking Dead,Disruptor Beam has made it their business to adapt sci-fi and fantasy TV shows into kick-ass mobile games.

We sat down with Disruptor Beam's CEO Jon Radoff to talk about Disruptor Beam's games, how they got their start, and the upcoming gameThe Walking Dead: March to War.

OP: Every gamer has a secret list of games they love, despite what anyone else says. What games inspired you and your team to make mobile games?

OP: Your games have to deal with a lot of existing canon, lore, and ongoing storiesespecially Game of Thrones and Walking Dead. Do you guys have a lore bible to keep everything straight, and how much wiggle room do you have when it comes to new stories?

As for wiggle room, you could say that we have that! Because we are true fans ourselves and we've built a reputation for handling other companies' licenses well, our partners have trusted us to create new content and flex our creative muscles all while staying true to the source material.

OP: You have seasonal events that line up with what's going on in TVhow do those work, and what can you tell us about Disruptor Beam's plans for the new Game of Thrones season?

Jon:In the past, we have added new game content to Game of Thrones Ascent every week, syncing with the new HBO episodes. We've found that the fans have loved this. We would very much like to add new Season 7 content into Game of Thrones Ascent, but we haven't yet announced our plan for that quite yet.

OP: Where do you think mobile gaming is going to in the next few years?

OP: What are you working on next?
