The mobilegamer.biz podcast is a concise, banter-free digest of what’s driving the mobile games business.

Every week, mobilegamer.biz founder and editor Neil Long goes on a walk and tells you what’s going on in under 20 minutes.

In this episode:

• We run through two stories about football drafting games 38-0 and 38-0-0, each made by amateur developers using AI tools to jump on a trend and quickly land a hit
• Some indie app developer reactions from WWDC, where Apple promised free use of its AI models and compute until your app gets 2m installs, though it’s unclear what happens after that
• We’ve got a breakdown of May’s top grossing and most downloaded games, according to Appmagic
• A quick one about Orna, a location-based game that arrived shortly after Pokémon Go and has outlasted the likes of Harry Potter: Wizards Unite and Minecraft Earth
• Jobs, data and new games nuggets featuring Pixel Flow, Wuthering Waves, Neverness to Everness, Pokémon Go Fest attendance and more
• Ambient noise from kids and dog walkers in the beautiful and historic Verulamium Park, next to St Albans Cathedral
