2024: Endings And New Beginnings

I had a transformative experience in 2023 ✨ I am ready to finally share a life-changing experience I had during a three-week trip to Colombia at the end of 2023. For full disclosure, I meant to release this post much earlier, but it stayed in my drafts since January as I couldn’t finalize it. I needed time to process what happened, what I was going through, and where I am going now. A lot happened in my personal world in the first six months of 2024. I want to share the retrospective journey of what led me to discontinue Kylan, the game studio I kicked off in Vietnam in November 2023 with two co-founders (more to come in the podcast in August), and soon after what led me to start another business in April: Olivya. I am excited to share […]

Time to refresh your game’s creative strategy?

From my experience, there are five key signs that it may be time to refresh your game's creative strategy: 1. No creative executions bring significant uplift.2. The top of the funnel deteriorates while in-game retention and monetization perform well.3. New competition in the market attracts a similar audience.4. The creative theme has become outdated over time.5. The product has evolved, but communication does not reflect this evolution.➡ Revamping your creative strategy can be a major turning point. For example, when Futureplay Games rebranded its Merge Gardens title, they saw remarkable results: a 1000% increase in downloads, a doubling of player retention, and a top 100 grossing position on Android in the US. 🤯

Social Casino Continues to Innovate on Liveops

Social casino continues to innovate on liveops, as they have for decades, unbeknownst to many PMs and designers. "Ew, casino" reactions miss essential learnings and design innovation.Liveops matters so much to casinos because the core is so simple (although the slots math is not). There's a smaller design space, so formats are contoured and create unique mechanics.Two stood out from Liquid and Grit & Game Economist Consulting Monthly Round Table on Jackpot Party:Safety Net: when balances hit 0, claim a 10M coin grant. Every 30 minutes, the player is eligible for another claim. This creates a rebounding effect when spending velocity is high and applies to any energy-based system. It also encourages draining balances to 0 as frequently as possible. Star Power: grants players rewards and power if they grow their average transaction size (bet size). This creates an almost […]
