Bringing a 7 Year Old Game Back to Life | Tim Shepherd
Tim Shepherd discusses reviving the 7-year old game Diamond Dash by Wooga. After evaluating options like reinvesting in live ops or making a sequel, they decided to reboot the original game. Through player research, they discovered players saw the game as more "casual-competitive" than just a match-3 game. In a 5 phase process, they updated the game to this vision by improving business metrics, porting to Unity, validating marketing, updating assets, and rolling out new features. This led to increased engagement, bookings, and retention compared to the previous version. The takeaway is to periodically reevaluate old products and challenge assumptions through player research.

Describes how metrics were used in casual games and applies them to current issues facing Facebook developers.

The Opinion Economy
The document introduces the concept of the "Opinion Economy" where consumers voluntarily share their opinions and experiences about products and services online without expecting anything in return. This is different from the "Attention Economy" where consumers agree to receive communications in exchange for their attention. The Opinion Economy has been enabled by the internet and social media, allowing opinions to be shared more publicly. When buying a car for example, a consumer may now seek opinions on social media versus just asking friends and family. Companies need to listen to online opinions and sentiments about their brand to understand where their product fits and determine how to best address opinions.

This document outlines a distribution and marketing plan for the indie game "Forged Factories" created by Deadway Studios. The plan aims to build awareness of the game and studio through social media promotion and establishing a website/database. The target audience is male PC/strategy gamers ages 24-28 in Orlando initially. The plan will utilize forums, social media, and an aggregator to promote the game and analyze its ROI. It considers partnering with large distributors like Numantian Games, Westwood Studios, or Ensemble Studios who have experience with similar real-time strategy games.

The document also discusses the roles of publishers versus developers, with developers creating the games and publishers marketing, distributing, and financing them. Common job roles at developers include design, programming, art, and animation.
How to crack a publishing deal
This presentation is part of my talk at NASSCOM GDC where I was explaining if you actually need a publisher or is your pitch good enough to get a publisher. Once you have an answer to this question, you need to hunt a publisher and convince him to publish your stuff, this is quite a challenging and competitive task. Main topics covered were:
Why do you need a publisher?
Do you think publisher will publish your game?
How to approach publishers?
Treat them as your business partner
First impression is the last impression
Publisher submission is a project
Be a good listener
Communication is the key
lines and between the lines…decoding a contract
What if your project is rejected

Sse indie europe_group6b
This document analyzes the indie games market in Europe and the US. It defines indie games as those developed without publisher funding, often driven more by passion than money. It examines network and competitor analyses, highlighting the importance of recognition and awards for visibility.

The most profitable models depend on existing visibility, with third-party distribution best for unknown developers. It profiles one indie developer and concludes that while Europe and the US markets differ slightly, indie games ensure the evolution of future titles.

Finished task 1
Games developers are involved in the creation and production of games across various platforms and their work involves design or programming. Games development is a multi-billion pound industry that can take teams of up to 200 professionals up to three years to make a game from concept to finished product. Video game publishers finance development, distribute published games, and perform other functions like deciding on licenses, localization, packaging, and marketing. Console manufacturers serve as gatekeepers that approve games for their platforms and provide support to developers, while having power over what titles get priority marketing.

【业务选择办理准则】
一、工作未确定，回国需先给父母、亲戚朋友看下文凭的情况，办理一份就读学校的毕业证【微信：A575476】文凭即可
二、回国进私企、外企、自己做生意的情况，这些单位是不查询毕业证真伪的，而且国内没有渠道去查询国外文凭的真假，也不需要提供真实教育部认证。鉴于此，办理一份毕业证【微信：A575476】即可
三、进国企，银行，事业单位，考公务员等等，这些单位是必需要提供真实教育部认证的，办理教育部认证所需资料众多且烦琐，所有材料您都必须提供原件，我们凭借丰富的经验，快捷的绿色通道帮您快速整合材料，让您少走弯路。
留信网认证的作用:
1:该专业认证可证明留学生真实身份
2:同时对留学生所学专业登记给予评定
3:国家专业人才认证中心颁发入库证书
4:这个认证书并且可以归档倒地方
5:凡事获得留信网入网的信息将会逐步更新到个人身份内，将在公安局网内查询个人身份证信息后，同步读取人才网入库信息
6:个人职称评审加20分
7:个人信誉贷款加10分
8:在国家人才网主办的国家网络招聘大会中纳入资料，供国家高端企业选择人才
→ 【关于价格问题（保证一手价格）
我们所定的价格是非常合理的，而且我们现在做得单子大多数都是代理和回头客户介绍的所以一般现在有新的单子 我给客户的都是第一手的代理价格，因为我想坦诚对待大家 不想跟大家在价格方面浪费时间
对于老客户或者被老客户介绍过来的朋友，我们都会适当给一些优惠。
选择实体注册公司办理，更放心，更安全！我们的承诺：可来公司面谈，可签订合同，会陪同客户一起到教育部认证窗口递交认证材料，客户在教育部官方认证查询网站查询到认证通过结果后付款，不成功不收费！
