What’s in our secret sauce?
Live Operations
We are the best in the industry at live operations of free to play games. It’s what we’ve been built for and that is our entire business.
We take a unique long term integrated approach to our games. We take on games with strong loyal communities on browser, mobile, and PC platforms.
Understanding Players
Players are not only customers but also fans. We listen to what our fans want and keep them constantly up to date with what we are working on. We create a bond with the fans of the game that fosters trust and understanding.
Expert Analysis
We couple our vast experience in free to play design and operations with data analysis to find new opportunities to grow and improve the game. We come to understand what’s working and what is not to inform how we manage the game.
Flexible Development
5 year old spaghetti code base with no documentation? It’s all good. We’ve worked on projects making millions a month with infrastructure held together with duct tape. We’ve seen it all and know how to prevent issues and respond to all situations. We tame the chaos to ensure there are regular content updates, bug-fixes and balancing changes.
Live Events
We all know events are a key piece to long term retention and improved engagement. But no one else understands as well as we do how to incorporate events and promotions with content and a game’s core loops.
