I recently discovered something super cool in Royal Match while playing the 'Dragon Nest' event. 🐉 It’s not just the event itself that caught my attention, but the amazing UI they designed around it! The event icon on the main screen literally comes to life with an invite popping out every few seconds, making it impossible to miss. For those who haven't checked it out yet, Dragon Nest is a limited-time event where you raise dragons by matching with friends or other players. The way you collect Magic Balls to level up your dragons and win rewards feels like a perfect addition to the gameplay. 🎁These subtle, yet powerful, UI details really add to the game’s immersive experience, and Dream Games nailed it once again with this one. 👏Have you tried Dragon Nest yet?hashtag#RoyalMatch hashtag#DragonNest hashtag#GameEvent hashtag#DreamGames hashtag#MobileGaming hashtag#GameUI

🎮 How Physiology and Psychology Explain Mobile F2P Game Metrics 🧠📈 We're not just talking numbers When we talk about session times, retention rates, and monetization in F2P mobile games. These metrics reveal how player habits, behaviors, and decision-making are rooted in human physiology and psychology.Here's a deeper look at how we tap into these principles to build successful games:⚙️ 1. Engagement Loops & Habits Formation:Gratification systems, feedback loops, and well-designed hooks turn gameplay into a habit. By offering immediate rewards and clear progress, games stimulate the brain's reward centers, fostering daily routines that players naturally integrate into their lives. There's also a clear pacing to things; as some reactions in the human body need to wash out from time to time, before you can drive players back to them.💰 2. Monetization Behavior and Conversion:Conversion strategies aren’t just about prompting […]

I've managed $100M+ budgets. Here's 1 core issue I see in growth-stage game studios:They're throwing money around without realizing it.Example:Not enough partners? Missing annual targets?The typical response: "We need to hire more salespeople."But is recruiting new salespeople the answer?Or are you just adding more water to an overflowing ocean?Truth is, you don't have a sales problem.You have a foundational problem.Who is this really for?What makes you different?What does your strategy actually deliver?How do you communicate your value?If you don't address these foundational issues,you'll end up in a cycle of slow growth.Here's what I'd do this week:1. Identify your top 3-5 customers2. Schedule calls with them today3. Ask key questions about your value and impact4. Refine your messaging to sharpen differentiationRemember:Growth challenges are constant.It's how you tackle them that matters.I learned this the hard way at Gameloft, Blizzard, and Huuuge.Now I […]
