GameZone.com caught up with newly appointed Mind Control Software VP of Business Strategy Randy Buehler to talk about Mind Twist. Here's an excerpt:: GameZone: Mind Twist will launch on the iPhone and Facebook before coming to other platforms. Obviously Apple's device and the social networking site are very successful. But from a game development standpoint, what made you and your team select them as the key platforms for Mind Twist? Were any other platforms considered for the initial launch?

Randy Buehler: The thing that has always fueled tabletop gaming is community. Whether you're talking about board games, role-playing games, or collectible card games; it has always been the conversations about those games and the broader context that comes from things like tournaments and years-long campaigns that keeps people coming back. We really want to get this "social part" right for Mind Twist and to do that it's crystal clear that social networking has a key role to play. As for iPhone, the ease of turning ourselves into a publisher via the app store combined with the micro-transaction functionality that is built into the 3.0 operating system made it an easy choice as well.
