Workshops
Game Ideation: What Makes a Global Hit?
Regardless of the game genre, accurate and consistent execution of a game's core mechanic is crucial to achieving a successful product. It is seen that games whose core mechanics do not work correctly are not able to hold onto the market. Hyper Casual games focus on a single mechanic. In this respect, it can be produced quickly, and its results can be examined. This workshop plans an exercise around this feature of the Hyper Casual Genre.
Paper Prototyping: Keeping It Simple
Final products in the game industry are formed by processing the initial idea and adding layers to it. Therefore, the starting points are not always perceptible at first glance. Even if sticking to the base idea is not a firm rule, it is important for the comfortable planning of the workflow. Due to the production speed and simplicity in hyper-casual titles, the initial ideas and the end product overlap in a much more legible way. Paper prototypes help us to explore digital potentials while requiring the idea to be planned with simple gameplay.
Seminars

How industry KPIs and user data are interpreted is one of the key elements behind the profitability of a mobile game. In this context, in order to survive as a company, it is necessary to carefully consider the distinction between the ability to make games and being a game studio.
