ChimpWorks’ Post

I know this was post last week already but if you missed it, here is what you should know : top-grossing mobile games - like RAID: Shadow Legends, MARVEL Strike Force, and CoD: Mobile - leveraged "umbrella events" to boost player engagement. These events reward players for completing multiple concurrent activities, creating a cohesive gameplay experience. Umbrella events not only drive retention with rewards but also indirectly boost monetization by encouraging participation in linked events. Simple to implement and adaptable, umbrella events are a powerful tool for LiveOps, offering flexibility and long-term engagement potential 🚀 AppMagic

Should be a good one.

It has only been a couple days, but from a player perspective, the new game mode Swarm in League of Legends has been a massive marketing campaign for the new skins and character that has also added significant value to the game. At its core, Swarm is a promotion for the new skins for various characters. But the new game mode that is mostly utilizing already existing mechanics in creative ways for a completely fresh experience has quickly become one of my favorite pastime activities. It offers players an entirely new genre of gameplay to enjoy, while also giving them a full live preview -inside the game- of the new skins for the characters. I would love to see this new game mode scaled up over time, perhaps modified accordingly for future themed skin drops as a "promotional preview activity". Swarm absolutely features a solid foundation and a fun gameplay that can easily become a mainstay side activity for League of Legends, similar to Teamfight Tactics (TFT) that was also created as a side activity of LoL but eventually became its own spin-off.

Today we celebrate an icon. On this day in 1980, Pac-Man was launched in the US. It changed the world of video games forever – and gave us all a serious case of “Pac-Man Fever”. Pac-Man’s journey is a great reminder of the power of timing and innovation. The game was originally released as “Puck-Man” in Japan, but it was the US launch that turned Pac-Man into a cultural phenomenon. It shows us that even the most brilliant ideas sometimes need the right market and moment to truly shine. So, what can we learn from Pac-Man? Sadly, nothing about ghosts. But if you’re looking to expand your business, or launch a new product, Pac-Man shows that you should always know your audience and adapt to their needs. A little rebranding and the right distribution strategy can take something good and turn it into something legendary. Let’s channel some of that Pac-Man energy into our own business goals. Who else is going to play a game of Pac-Man to celebrate today? #TechHistory #PacMan #BusinessInnovation October 10, 1980 Namco officially transfers rights to Midway for distribution of the games Pac-Mac and Rally-X in North America. While the exact date that Pac-Man started shipping to arcades in North America is currently unknown, most sources cite October of 1980. The Japanese release under the name “Puck-Man” had occurred in May of 1980,…

We are thrilled to welcome a winning entry from our Summer No-Code Game Jam! “The Sacred Birds Quest” is a delightful game created by Remi Bouffort: https://lnkd.in/eiPhAz8y Here’s what Remi has to say: “I've found inspiration in some Mario-like games. I've tried to make an original environment and character with some grey/rose-colored assets”. We also asked Remi to share his experience with the MANU engine while creating the game: “Setting up the character and its animation was very easy, also working with the group was fast and efficient. Optimizing the game is a difficult task, I was always looking for the best optimization within the numerous environment assets. I'd like to use MANU for some HTML5 games or online games, I always appreciate the new features. MANU team is also very helpful in any way while producing games”.
