Q & A with the Director of exciting Aussie CCG, Infinity Wars

Interview by Matt S. 

A month or so ago at the EB Games Expo in Sydney, one game really caught out attention, and it wasn't from one of the triple-A developer or publishers; it was home-grown digital card game, Infinity Wars. Here was a PC game with real ambition, and as you can read in our impressions, we are very excited to see how this game goes as it works towards a full release.

It's still plugging along, and we log in from time to time for a quick game. We recently sat down with a very busy Elphie Coyle, the Director of Lightmare Studios, to have a quick chat about what's next for Infinity Wars, the challenges of being an Australian developer, and some of the opportunities he sees for the market moving forward.

There's no shortage of digital collectible card games (CCGs). From Magic: The Gathering and Might & Magic: Duel of Champions right through to little indie efforts like Orbs CCG, this is a genre that is remarkably good for game developers for two reasons; it keeps people playing for long periods of time and the free-to-play model works brilliantly for it.

I know I must have spent $40 on digital cards in Duel of Champions. And I'm not even close what the majority of reasonable fans will spend on their favourite digital CCG, in terms of both time and money. These games are genuine hobbies in themselves.

EB Expo was bigger and better in 2013. Much bigger and better. It was a who's who of the Australian games industry, from the big international publishers right down to the tiny local indies churning out top quality stuff for PC and mobile.

We've got an absolute wealth of hands-on previews, interviews and opinion pieces to come over the next week, but we thought it would be a good idea to also get the team together (that being Matt, Owen, Aidan and Sam) and come up with our top 10 games to look forward to. The below ten games are the ones that impressed us more than anything else, and these games should all be very high on your "to play" list.

And in no particular order:
