The Next Era of Voice Games
Manage episode 428515877 series 2929260
Voice games have had a quiet history compared to mobile, console, and the PC gaming arena. However, Lightspeed and Microsoft’s M12 Ventures see Volley Games as a leader and game changer in the space, co-leading a $55M Series C on the backs of solid MAU and ARR.
Our host, Alexandra Takei, Director at Ruckus Games, speaks with Max Child, CEO and Co-Founder of Volley, about the history of voice games, the current market, and the AI inflection point that enables experiences that were once hindered by slow speech recognition, difficulty in assessing intent, and the inability to interrupt an AI speaker.
The duo dive into what’s in the Volley portfolio, how the games are performing, who is playing them, and how they are monetizing. We discuss the history of “input design” in games (controllers, mouse, keyboard, bespoke hardware) and why voice is one of the most powerful input mechanisms at the heart of human connectivity. That and more!
We’d also like to thank Overwolf for making this episode possible! Whether you're a gamer, creator, or game studio, Overwolf is the ultimate destination for integrating UGC in games! You can check out all Overwolf has to offer at https://www.overwolf.com/.
