If you’re looking for ways to improve player retention for your mobile game, hosting a collaboration event with a well-known franchise as part of your LiveOps might be the answer you’re looking for. Not only are collaboration events a great way to engage players, but they’re also a great way to boost your game’s monetization through the addition of new content, such as event-exclusive cosmetic items and collectibles.

** SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED THE GAME YET. Game design isn't a destination, it's a journey and this was one of the stops along the way. There are some fun puzzles in here but they all were cut for a reason, mostly pacing but sometimes because it wasn't as interesting as we thought. Part 3 got cut in half at some point because it felt too long in the wrong place.

Picking a live service title for my 2022 game of the year felt like a bit of a copout, and I'm sure at any other game website, it may be perceived as such. If this piece had to be about a game released this year, I have some solid favourites: God of War: Ragnarok, Citizen Sleeper, and Neon White, to name a few. Alas, tomorrow is my last day at this wonderful website, so I'll do what I want.

I often receive email from players telling me how much they enjoy Star Nomad 2, and they have good feedback over the years. It’s still selling well, especially on Android & iOS, so I’ve been wanting to work on an update to show my appreciation to players. The changes are major, but not game-changing moving away from the original design intent for the game.

One of the reasons why hyper-casual games are so popular is due to how quick and easy they are to make. Simple controls, artwork, and game design make it easy for any developer to pick up. But hyper-casual isn’t the only way to go. There are other ways to build a game on a budget. One way is narrative. We’ve talked a lot about how to add new layers to your games by simply layering in a story.

These days, a lot of businesses operate remotely, which means that employees work outside of their secure corporate networks. Thus, the importance of cybersecurity increases. It safeguards all types of information from loss and damage, including sensitive data and personally identifiable information (PII). It is essential to inform your workforce about typical cyber threats that are used to steal confidential information.

Competition is fierce in the mobile game market, but even more so for developers of casual and hyper-casual games. Thousands of new games and apps targeting casual and hyper-casual audiences are released every day, which means capturing the attention of new players is tough, but keeping them engaged for weeks and months to come is even trickier. So, what can mobile game developers do to increase the chances of their games performing well?

I made a new single player Quake 1 map called "Breakfast Under The Balloons" for the community map pack Coppertone Summer Jam 2 , where mappers were encouraged to make sunny summer-y themed maps using the popular community rebalancing mod Copper. I like making sunny maps anyway, and the first CTSJ back in 2020 was when I made my first Quake map, so the event has a special place in my heart.

HERE THERE BE SPOILERS. Mind-swapping has been with Trek since the first Enterprise , and while “ Turnabout Intruder ” will never, ever be my favorite episode, it does handle the body swapping nicely. I can say the same of “ Mindwalk.” Kate Mulgrew really steals the show as Dal in Janeway’s body, though Brett Grey’s performance is certainly solid. However, “Mindwalk” isn’t about fun and “Freaky Friday” shenanigans.

The social gaming trend is taking mobile games by storm and so the quest to innovate social elements intensifies. Even the single-player casual genres have seen a shift towards more communal gaming in 2021 and it’s expected to tackle the revenue conundrum as well. Which brings us to the Friend Referral system, a feature that has the potential to support user acquisition and retention indirectly by word-of-mouth.

I've gone through a lot of Spider-Media this year. In addition to rewatches of Into The Spider-Verse and No Way Home, I've read six volumes of Spider-Gwen, seven volumes of Miles Morales, and a mix of classic and modern Amazing Spider-Man storylines I never got around to in the past. I've also made it partway through a replay of the 2018 Spider-Man game and watched most of (the quietly brilliant and my 2022 earworm ) Spidey & His Amazing Friends.

Every beta release so far has included a lot of fixes in one or more key areas, and the next major version of the engine starts to finally look complete. Beta 10 will be the last dev snapshot of the year 2022, as a lot of our contributors will no doubt be slowing down for the end of year celebrations and some quality family time.
