The document discusses common mistakes made by developers of first free-to-play games. It identifies five specific mistakes: assuming things about other games, having a limited design space, expecting recognition for restraint, expecting miracles from promotions, and over-relying on press and platform love. It also notes potential mistakes to avoid, such as over-relying on consumables, a single platform, or aesthetic goods for revenue. The document aims to help developers avoid common pitfalls when launching their first free-to-play game.

IT'S A JUNGLE OUT THERE! How a simple 10 point plan can help you launch your ...Giuliano Cremaschi
A keynote I held at the 2013 Shared Gems Game Design Seminar in Helsinki, Finland, on May 7 (http://sharedgems.fi/info-in-english/).

Indie startups often focus all their efforts into making their first game an awesome one, and that is good.
However, often they also don't plan the basics first: channel, platform, genre choice based on target group, business model, and so on. The things that should steer game development from the very beginning.
This simple checklist, gleaned from the experiences of our Finnish indie Cute Attack and our first game Captain Clumsy, might help other indie startups plan their effort and focus better, thus increasing there chances of success in the overcrowded App markets.
FGS 2011: Keeping Yourself Honest in Game Design (SteamBirds)mochimedia
Game developers often fail to hold a critical eye to their own work, and struggle to see why they aren't finding success. Join Andy Moore, Captain of Radial Games, as he explores all the painful ways his previous works failed, and his adventure to correct them all in the production of his multi-award-winning game, SteamBirds - and the mobile editions and sequels that followed.
This presentation is part of a 4 hours workshop called "Innovation Workshop –Games and Reality". During the workshop students from the Recanati School of business in Tel Aviv University thought of games and startup related games ideas and "fought" against each other discovering if their idea has a chance to become the great big next hit.
I really liked some of the ideas, for example: a game you need to run in real life in order to "charge" your character in the game. A game you "scan" your real pet and play with it in a virtual world, including a virtual dog fight with real dogs . A real cart driving game you play wearing Google glass. The glass allows you to see virtual power ups or virtual avatars to enhance your driving experience (did someone say zombies)
For me the workshop was really fun. I hope the students had fun as well and I do hope some of these ideas will become actual games.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

7. Mistake #3: Expecting recognition for restraint
I’m all in favor of supporting the developers of fun games with no ads, but
even after paying $3.99 they keep nickel-and-diming you Zynga-style…
I’ll give more stars if they add content and subtract greed.
11. Mistakes we generally didn’t make,
but you might:
• No consumables as a source of revenue
• Over-reliance on a single platform
• Excess emphasis on “aesthetic goods”
25 minute lectureDescription: "Developing a good game is hard. Developing a good f2p game is very hard. If you're working on your first f2p game, you're probably going to learn the hard way how difficult it can be to retain users effectively, how to monetize your game effectively, and how time-consuming it can be to support your game and to deal with the many distribution channels that you will ultimately depend on... among other challenges. Take advantage of this opportunity to learn from some of the lumps that Spry Fox has already taken and spare yourself a few headaches."
… which often, but not always, means “single player games”
To be fair, some people *have* recognized what we did in Triple Town. And many users cite the fairness of the monetization in RotMG as one of the reasons they play that game. So this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t exercise restraint when designing your monetization; just don’t go overboard, and don’t expect your restraint to win you any awards. That doesn’t seem to be how these things work.
True on mobile (lack of momentum for Steambirds) and true on the Web (i.e. TT FB didn’t get as big a boost as we expected from x-promo with other Playdom titles.) It seems like you (“you” being most indies) need x-promo with many other devs to really have a hope that it will give you a major lift.
Summary: its all about ARPU, ARPU, ARPU. If that ain’t high enough, you can’t pay to acquire users. If you can’t pay to acquire users, you’re basically just counting on luck. Which certainly does work out for some devs… but not most.
