Dusk: A New Mobile Multiplayer App Aims to Capitalize on the Social Gaming Trend
Dusk, a newly funded mobile multiplayer app from entrepreneurs Bjarke Felbo and Sanjay Guruprasad, is aiming to tap into the booming mobile social gaming market. This platform allows users to quickly and easily play games and team up with friends.
Felbo and Guruprasad's previous venture, the Rune companion app for PUBG and Call of Duty Mobile, boasts an impressive five million installs before its closure, showcasing their experience in the mobile gaming space. While Dusk differs significantly from Rune, this prior success hints at their potential.
Dusk acts as a game creation platform, hosting a variety of custom-made titles playable directly within the app. Think of it as a streamlined, mobile-focused alternative to platforms like Xbox Live or Steam, but with a library of original games.
The Key Challenge: Game Selection
The main hurdle for Dusk is its reliance on the quality and appeal of its self-made game library. While some titles, such as mini-golf and 3D racing, show promise, the lack of established, big-name games could be a deterrent for some players.
However, Dusk possesses a significant advantage: cross-platform compatibility across browsers, iOS, and Android. With other social platforms like Discord integrating games, Dusk's simple, lightweight approach could prove attractive to users seeking a convenient way to play with friends. Only time will tell if this strategy will succeed.
