A good opportunity

The beginning is the most important part of the work. Why are we promoting education in gaming as an important step? Through years of experience in the gaming and esports space, we've observed a growing trend toward fragmentation. It's time to set aside the drama and come together to establish better standards that will foster industry growth and create a bigger pie for everyone. We are bringing together experts and seasoned professionals from various fields within gaming and pop culture to cultivate a culture of knowledge sharing. We're here for the long haul, with many ongoing discussions for future workshops and group sessions, starting in the Philippines! If you have any ideas for sessions, drop me a DM, and let's discuss!

Voodoo's Cup Heroes already scaled to $60K a day 🤑 in IAP only and 100K downloads a day. The game has been constantly growing from its soft-launch in February making probably more than $3 Mil. in last 30 days altogether. This seems as another major Hybridcasual hit for Voodoo, as it already overtook Block Jam 3D and its on its way to catch up to Mob Control. Ironically it has the Mob Control math gates ➗ core built into it, which seems as an obvious choice to iterate upon. 2 months before its launch there was Bag Fight in Voodoo's portfolio, a game that iterated upon the Backpack hero successful Steam game. Cup Heroes took its top visualization and 2 phase core setup and replaced the inventory merging mechanic with the tried and tested Mob Control gates. But don't be fooled, the biggest and the most important iteration is actually the rogue lite skill randomizer. Here skills are picked at the end of each wave as there is no level in the game. You also need to pay the balls currency to get them, in contrast to the usual setup, where these are given for free, each time you level up. This offers a lot of places for ad placements, and I mean a lot 😅, with possibilities to refresh the skills, get a specific skill for and ad, get all 3 skills for an ad, revive, etc. On top of it you also have interstitials popping in your face. The core gameplay itself is also very interesting as the combat happens automatically on top of the screen with no player input. After you kill the enemies and they drop some balls you need to select where do you want to drop them, so that mathematically, they will multiply as much as possible, so you can then buy skills with them in the last 3rd step, then the core repeats. Join us as we talk about all of this with Felix & Matej 🦩 😎.

Launched on December 8, 2023, Screw Jam broke into the top 20 highest-grossing puzzle apps in the U.S. App Store by July 2024, currently holding the 19th position. It’s the second highest-grossing physics-based puzzle app, at times surpassing even Angry Birds 2. Screw Jam stands out with its unique gameplay that combines strategic screw removal with a robust physics engine. Players navigate overlapping boards by matching screws to corresponding boxes, introducing a layer of complexity and engagement. This innovative design has driven both revenue and user growth significantly. Revenue growth has been remarkable, with a 460% increase over five weeks in March 2024, climbing from $81K to $455K weekly. Currently, the app maintains an average weekly revenue of $519K. Download trends show an initial peak of 23K weekly downloads on March 4, 2024, followed by a 304% growth spurt, peaking at 72K on April 8. Current downloads stabilize around 35K weekly. User engagement is enhanced through features like city-building progression, competitive events, and a battle pass. The app’s competitive pairing system, offering prizes every 12 hours, keeps players engaged and returning. Screw Jam’s success also highlights effective marketing strategies. Rollic Games leverages interactive ads that preview gameplay, driving higher engagement and conversion rates. These ads sometimes introduce timed challenges or exclusive content, creating an appealing hook for potential players. For product managers, Screw Jam’s trajectory demonstrates the importance of innovative game mechanics, strategic user engagement features, and effective use of interactive advertising. It’s a prime example of how a well-designed app with thoughtful engagement strategies can rapidly climb the charts and sustain revenue growth.

Peek dropped some big updates during Thursday's town hall! 👇 Peek introduced Funki, and covered the P2A points clean-up, and timeline for key milestones. ⚠️ I might get banned from future town halls for these leaks! In addition to Sipher Odyssey, Funki is another flagship product of AtherLabs. Funki offers multiple avenues for a successful $ATHER token launch and boosts its appeal for the upcoming CEX listing. Investors and partners are fully on board with this move. The Global Open Beta for Sipher Odyssey has been postponed from mid-September to early October due to optimization issues and bugs. Right now, everyone capable of fixing bugs is focused on that, while the rest of the team is busy building new content features. Country restrictions for the Global Open Beta will be lifted, and the PC build is expected to launch simultaneously—unless new development issues arise. Sipher Odyssey will be a live service game, not a one-time release. The team is planning content 2–3 months ahead to keep the game fresh. Funki and Sipher Odyssey are the two major highlights for the end of this year. Everything will come together in a big push, including a massive marketing campaign aimed at attracting organic Web2 users, video trailers, partnership announcements, PR articles, Funki, $ATHER token integration, and staking. All these efforts will culminate in the $ATHER Token Generation Event (TGE), complete with airdrops and retrospective airdrops. AtherLabs will also be at Token2049 in Singapore to meet with investors and partners. I’m super bullish on Sipher and excited about Funki’s launch! A redacted version of the call notes is in the article below. For the full community update, including slides and the voice recording, head to the #true-siphers channel on Discord. It’s available exclusively for verified token and NFT holders.

As with everything our community does, this resource is free, without ulterior motives. If you are a LinkedIn games creator with a following of at least 2,500 and post twice a week (or eight times a month) with resources to help gamers succeed, this program is for you. The only Eligible Platform is LinkedIn, due to standards of community protection and ease of creator review. Eligible categories include: - Jobs Listings - Career Coaching / Mentoring - Skills Development - Resume/Profile/Portfolio Help - Networking or Events (Must be unique; e.g., not just a Social Saturday post) I created this program to provide a structured, detailed resource rather than the ad hoc posts we often see and to build a list that includes everyone dedicated to this mission - not just a “top 30” that excludes others. I also want to make sure we celebrate diversity and eliminate bias, so games creators of any identity meeting our criteria are warmly encouraged to enter. What’s in it for you? - A prominent feature as part of the entire program, within a button on our community landing page. - Inclusion on an organized, curated list that I aim to make the best in the games industry. - Weekly posts from me to amplify the program, increasing your reach and connecting more gamers with your resources. What’s expected of you? - The highest standards of values and service for gamers. I am counting on you! - Understand that there will be an open community feedback form to rate creators in the program privately (only I will see it), with top scorers earning a “Recommended” flag. Partners with very low scores may be removed - final decisions are mine. I will only do this under extreme circumstances. What’s in it for our community? - An easy-to-navigate, comprehensive list that’s always accessible, with a wide range of creators and detailed resource categories to connect gamers with the support they need. - I have also asked games creators to specifically list what resources they provide by the five eligible categories, as part of their entries, so you can see at a glance what their specific offerings are. This program is only for games creators who actively support other gamers with impactful resources. If you’re dedicated to helping others grow, join us and elevate your personal brand in the process. 👉 Sign up here games creators with supportive content: https://lnkd.in/ga8t2FAi Once I have given this some time to collect entries, the program will go up on our site. Thank you all!

The most important variable in overseeing a corporate structure is the collection and management of data. As important are the many other corporate variables, e.g. marketing, all such variables depend on the most significant factor of all—data. In developing my global education network (RAPT GLOBAL MOBILE), formulating the data interface is the first priority.  By comparison, of all the corporate structures in the world, educational institutions provide for their consuming students the least effective interface with the metrics of data. At least 3 major student-consumer demands can be met with solid data analysis: 1) Achievement in Course Studies; 2) Vocational Search/Post Secondary Education; & 3) Emotional Guidance. While schools have traditionally made attempts to provide the latter 3 student-consumer demands, it is felt that the rendering of such learning opportunities can be offered in a more technologically dynamic and compelling student-consumer format.
