Many screw up live service games by focusing on the wrong things.
(I’ve seen it firsthand)
1. Core Game.
↳ It’s crucial, but it’s not everything.
2. Retention Game.
↳ Most games fail here. Do not miss it.
3. Advocate Game.
↳ Your goldmine, but only if basics are right.
Stop obsessing about a perfect Core Game.
🔴 It’s a trap.
If your players don’t return, polish fails.
🟢 What you need to do
1. Core Game.
Is what your players do over and over again.
What you want to hear:
↳ “Got it, I know how your game works.”
2. Retention Game.
Is what brings players back repeatedly.
What you want to hear:
↳ “I’m hooked; I want to keep progressing!”
3. Advocate Game.
Is where your top fans live.
What you want to hear:
↳ “I’m hosting a live stream for your game!”
Anything else, Sergei? ✋
Don’t wait for perfection.
Engage top players with social features.
Build anticipation with timed mechanics.
