wooga @ Live Shopping Days - March 22nd, 2011Wooga
Here is a presentation on “What Drives Social? What Drives Commerce?” by Jens Begemann, Founder and CEO of wooga, about what drives social games and the economics behind running a successful social gaming company.
Jens talks about how wooga as a company is using in-depth analytics to continuously refine our games, so that they can more effectively serve our customers. This deep analysis lends us the ability to extensively target our games and ads to specific audiences. Developing a social game isn’t just about developing a product – it’s about developing a service that continues to satisfy the needs of our customers.
However, hard statistics aren’t enough to attract and retain gamers – you need a heart too. wooga strives to combine the emotions of Pixar with Google’s analytics, so that our customers feel engaged and emotionally attached to our characters.
There’s a lot more Jens has to say – enjoy the presentation!
Playing is a core human desire - How social games change the entertainment in...Wooga
Keynote at GDC Europe in Cologne by wooga founder Jens Begemann on August 15th 2011.
* Playing is a core human desire - How social games change the entertainment industry *
'Social' is not just a buzz term in the game world - it is a movement that not only reaches out to new target groups, but will also lead to a transformation of the entire entertainment industry. As computer technology becomes increasingly integrated in our everyday lives, new tech-savvy target markets have emerged, paving the way for an evolution in game design encompassing new genres and wider tastes. In his keynote, Jens Begemann will talk about the success of Social Gaming beyond the game development landscape, and how it is shaping our perceptions about social games, interaction, and human communication.
Jens Begemann shared his ideas and thoughts about the future of social games, and discussed how social interactions in games will deepen and evolve to synchronize with real-time social interaction, therefore becoming communication. He covered how to best bridge the gap between games and social reality by creating games that are fully integrated into the everyday life of everyday people in a fun and meaningful way. On the business side, he also focussed on Monetization, addressing how the free-to-play business model will change as social games become one of the biggest entertainment services by time spend. Begemann will also give personal insights about building wooga, a top three social gaming company, in less than two years.
The talk provides two perspectives, an overall view from a CTO and also insights into how this philosophy is applied in the daily operations.
Philipp Möser talks about his philosophy regarding the realization of huge software projects and he is excited to share his knowledge from many years of practical experience. Over the years Philipp has advised and coordinated many successful software projects and start ups. This is the first talk where he shares his opinion about how to successfully and efficiently build big software monsters from scratch.
The second part shares some practical insights given by Mattes Groeger - a Flash Developer. He shows you how wooga makes sure to keep up development speed despite facing continuously changing requirements, new features and increasing complexity. By covering topics such as test-driven development and continuous integration, he shows you how to keep your code as agile as the process itself.

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.

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

“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 BidenWooga
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.

REVIEW MINING:
THE APP STORE OPTIMIZER’S SECRET WEAPON
An Overview Of The Value Of Review Mining
What Review Mining Tools You Have At Your Disposal
Using Reviews To Generate Keywords And Understand Your Users
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-ReichhelmWooga
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.

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.
