From Keyboards to Fingertips - Rethink Game Design_QuoVadis 2013

2 likes•9,217 views

One thing has become clear in the computer industry over the past four decades: UI, not technology, governs large leaps in adoption. In the first age of personal computing, keyboard-centric character-based UI's limited access to only those sufficiently motivated (and antisocial) to suffer such dramatic abstraction of the world we live in. In the 2nd age, GUI's and a "Mouse" opened the usage of personal computers to a much broader audience and enabled a first change in game genres. Today, we are poised on the brink of the 3rd age. With touchscreen devices, the mouse has been replaced by our fingertips and games can be played by everyone, anytime, anywhere. Join Jens Begemann, CEO and Founder of Wooga, as he beholds this new age in game genres and proposes why this new UI standard is a revolutionary, not evolutionary, influence on our industry.

There are lots of talks about the process of prototyping, but no hints on how to evaluate them to make the decisions. In this talk Antti Hattara, Head of Studio at Wooga, will tell how to evaluate prototypes and recognize the ones with great potential from the rest Antti will talk about the mobile developer’s creative and agile approach to finding those needles in a haystack and how good projects are put to rest and great ones given that all-important green light.

In it for the long haul - How Wooga boosts long-term retention

Wooga

GDC San Francisco 2015 Presentation by Sebastian Nussbaum and Adam Telfer Today's mobile games market is tough. With thousands of new titles being available to download every week and CPIs rising high, new game concepts need to stand out. But even more importantly, they need to stay relevant for a long time. Long-term retention is the key for having a realistic shot at the top-grossing ranks of the app stores. In the first part of this talk, attendees will learn how mobile game developer Wooga evaluates new IP to ensure a long-lasting gameplay experience. The second half will show one example of how storytelling and episodic content can drive long-term retention. Sebastian will share insights and learnings from Wooga's projects in episodic content production and how to best set up your team for the ride.

Saying No to the CEO: A Deep Look at Independent Teams - Adam Telfer

Wooga

GDC Europe 2015 Truly independent teams within a game studio are an interesting idea. Wooga, Supercell and others have promoted having this type of structure. Each team having full ownership over decisions in their game. Teams saying no to the rest of the company when they believe in a product. This all sounds great on paper, but what happens in practice? Adam Telfer goes into details of the ups and downs of working in an independent culture. How Wooga has adapted its processes through the years. A culture where you have full control, but also full responsibility.

Story of Warlords: Bringing a turn-based strategy game to mobile

Wooga

About three years ago we set out on a mission: We wanted to bring a round-based strategy game, a genre that most gamers so far mainly enjoyed on PCs, to mobile. Today that mission is nearly completed with Warlords having been soft launched in various countries and showing very promising data. This may all sound easy enough, but the truth is that it was a hell of a ride for the team and there were times when we weren´t even sure if the project would continue. Along the way, we´ve learned many valuable things which we believe in the end made the difference and led to the numbers we now see. Wilhelm, Head of Studio and Product Lead for Warlords, will share these learnings in his talk answering the following questions: What set screws did we touch to make the session structure, pacing and content consumption work on mobile? Why different meta game systems are crucial? And finally how sticking to your game vision from start to end can make you survive such a ride.

Innovation dank DevOps (DevOpsCon Berlin 2015)

Wooga

“You build it, you run it!” - Wenn Du als Entwickler weisst, dass Du Deine Software selbst betreiben musst, was bist bereit zu tun, um den späteren Betrieb zu vereinfach? Bei Wooga haben Dutzende von Teams ihre eigene Antwort auf die Frage gesucht und dabei von den Erfahrungen der anderen Teams gelernt. Herausgekommen ist ein großes Experimentierfeld beim Betrieb von Web Services - und eine technologische Innovation, die uns innerhalb weniger Iterationen von einem simplen LAMP-Stack zu lastabhängig skalierenden stateful Servern auf Basis von Erlang oder Akka gebracht hat.

Big Fish, small pond - strategies for surviving in a maturing market - Ed Biden

Wooga

Quo Vadis Conference Berlin 2015 Mobile games have never been more competitive. Production values and marketing costs are ever increasing and the top grossing charts look strangely similar to the year before. So how can developers maximize their chances of success in such a tough market? Is it better to clone a hit or innovative wildly? Should they focus on one genre, or dabble in many? Ed draws on extensive market analysis and experience developing games to explain why selective innovation is the key to success.

DevOps goes Mobile (daho.am)

Wooga

We've learned a lot through doing DevOps: Every commit is automatically integrated, tested, and deployed to a staging environment. And then it only takes one push of a button and the release goes live... Unfortunately, it's not as simple anymore when operating mobile applications: How can you quickly update your mobile software when the app store provider wants to test your software first for a few days? How can you update your configuration when your app can run offline? And how do you track down errors when the data is distributed to millions of mobile clients? Those were just some of the challenges we encountered during the operation of mobile games with millions of daily users. In this talk we will talk about the solutions we have found to address them.

DevOps goes Mobile - Jax 2014 - Jesper Richter-Reichhelm

Wooga

DevOps hat uns viel gelehrt: Jedes Commit wird automatisch integriert, getestet und in eine Stagingumgebung installiert. Und einen Knopfdruck später geht das Release dann live. Aber leider funktioniert das und vieles mehr, was uns in Zeiten von DevOps als Normal erscheint, nicht bei mobilen Applikationen. Wie kann ich also schnell meine mobile Software anpassen, wenn der Betreiber des App Stores erst tagelang testen will? Wie kann ich Konfiguration anpassen, wenn die App auch offline laufen soll? Und wie funktioniert Fehlersuche, wenn die Daten auf Millionen von mobilen Clients verteilt sind? Beim Betrieb von mobilen Spielen mit Millionen täglicher Nutzer standen wir genau diesen Fragen gegenüber. Der Vortrag wird darlegen, welche Antworten wir darauf gefunden haben.

The match 3 puzzle genre is almost as old as it gets. Scour the App Store and you'll find hundreds of different varieties out there. Very few of these succeed however, and even less manage to hit the number one spot on the U.S. Apple App Store top download chart. Wooga's Jelly Splash managed to do just that, and in this session Florian Steinhoff, the creator of Jelly Splash, will give a detailed account on how his team managed that and what he learned throughout the development process.

The mobile gaming market is huge with roughly 4,000 new iOS games per month and more than 5bn USD revenue per year. But that market also has a huge number of players who want a piece of the pie making the mobile gaming industry a very hit driven business. In his talk, Sebastian Kriese Corporate Partnerships Manager at Wooga, will give some insights about what the Berlin based social and mobile game developer considers a hit game and how they manage to create at least 2 of these hits per year.

Nur zwei Entwickler, die alleine Entwurf, Entwicklung und Betrieb eines Backends für ein Social Games mit Millionen von täglichen Nutzern stemmen. Sie greifen dabei zwar zwar auf die Erfahrungen der vorhergehenden Teams zurück, haben aber alle Freiheiten, ‘ihr’ Backend so zu bauen, wie sie es wollen. Funktioniert das? Auch in der Realität? Ja, es funktioniert. Auch mit mittlerweile 20 Teams in einem Unternehmen von 250 Mitarbeitern. Warum das so ist, und warum es gleichzeitig enorm hilfreich für Innovation, Motivation und Eigeninitiative ist, darum geht es in diesem Vortrag.

Why Having Impact Matters for Good Developers (GOTO Berlin)

Wooga

Why is it so hard to create an adequate working environment for good developers? Why do we have insecure managers, lots of hierarchy levels, and micromanagement instead in so many companies? It's so simple to make things better: Remove the classic tech lead, avoid the Peter principle and let small teams organize themselves. Agreed, that's not easy, and there are challenges. But I see it work everyday around me. It means that developers have to care for a bit more than just code, but the rewards are freedom to have own choices and to have a real impact on the product. Let's see how this works in reality, what works great and where there are still things to improve.

DevOps is all about collaboration between developers and operations people, and that is a Good Thing. But what about product managers, analysts, graphic designers, marketing managers, customer support reps? How do you foster collaboration within the *whole* company? At Wooga, we use a two-pronged approach: (1) We have many small teams, that are independent from each other. (2) We use a number of tricks to increase communication across teams. In this talk, I will share some of these simple and easy-to-emulate recipes with you, and explain how they help us take DevOps to the next level.

Reliving the history of multiplayer games

Wooga

At Wooga we are creating the next generation of social games. To be truly social, a game needs to offer real interaction between players in various forms. What started with simple, asynchronous gift requests is evolving into real time interactions between players. We are experiencing a renaissance of multiplayer games, giving us the opportunity to look into problems that have been solved over a decade ago, such as network architectures, communication protocols, latency and connection loss. And we now leverage that knowledge to bring multiplayer games to the mobile world. In our talk we’ll cover this evolution of user interaction in our games, what technical problems they posed and how we solved them.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI support

Alan Dix

Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024 https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/ As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
