Working with as many casual devs as I do, I see tons and tons of games. Almost every game that comes out. And I ask this of a lot of the devs I talk to. Everyone is wondering the same thing, and seems to have varied opinions. One opinion I’ve heard a lot is that the future will be genre mixing and little tweaks on top of the popular genres. It sure seems to me like HO games are becoming a lot more like Adventure games.

Virtual Villagers is a type of genre that hasn’t been cloned much. Also the Build-a-lot genre is quite new (which is being clone a little now). So new genres do come along every so often.

Films clone, Books Clone, AAA Games Clone, Free Games Clone, Restaurants Clone, Fashion Clones, Music Clones, and so Casual games.

Probably, allot of people like more of the same.
One game is good, but after the player finish that game, he/she wants more of the same. And he/she find it at other games of the same type(“clones”).
