Vinícius Gerez hat dies geteiltVinícius Gerez hat dies geteiltProud of our June's Journey players who came together earlier this month to jointly plant 195,128 trees in our industry-leading hidden object game which means that - with an additional donation from Wooga - we have been able to reach our goal to commit planting 200,000 trees in the real world via our #GreenGameJam partner Ecosia in 2022. #Kudos also to all the Woogas who made our participation in this amazing initiative - organized by the Playing for the Planet Alliance and facilitated by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) - possible for the 2nd year running! #climate #climatechange #gaming #sustainability #environment #greentech #greengames #mobilegames #gamedevelopment #storytelling #gamedesign #junesjourney #jj #gamedev #ggj #unep

Vinícius Gerez hat dies geteiltVinícius Gerez hat dies geteiltWooga supports the Ukrainian people, and our greatest hope is that peace and safety will prevail. We are opposed to the brutal invasion of Ukraine. Our games are created by individuals from all over the world, including Ukrainians and Russians, working together. Diversity and respect are at our core. In this time of crisis, Woogas are working to support those in need by donating medical supplies, providing transport to people fleeing the conflict, and offering to host refugees. The Playtika family of game studios that includes Wooga has donated $100K to the Red Cross Ukraine Appeal Fund, and we will match any individual donation up to $1,000 from Wooga employees to help vital humanitarian efforts in Ukraine. #NoToWar #StandWithUkraine

Vinícius Gerez gefällt dasVinícius Gerez gefällt dasThe 5-second window that saves (or doubles) a run 🏃♂️💨 | Entry #2: The Revive & bonus: The Multiplier Imagine you’ve been in a Subway Surfers run for 5 minutes. You’re in the flow, dodging trains, hitting a personal best. Then, one second of inattention... BAM. Game over. 💥 Your adrenaline is peaking. Frustration is high. Then, the screen flashes: "Save your score?" This isn't just a "Revive" button. It’s a masterclass in psychology. Here are the 3 reasons why players happily choose to watch an ad in that moment: 1️⃣ Loss Aversion (The Pain Point) We are hardwired to feel the pain of losing something twice as much as the joy of gaining it. The 30s ad isn't about an "extra life", it’s about protecting the 5-minute time investment you just made. 2️⃣ The Sunk Cost Fallacy "I've already used two hoverboards and 5 keys... I can't stop now." The deeper the run, the higher the conversion rate. 3️⃣ The Framing Effect The game doesn’t ask, "Want more coins?" It shows you the 2,000 coins you could have had VS the 1,000 you have now. By framing it as "Don't leave money on the table," watching the ad feels like a logical financial decision. Of course, biases are a bit intertwined on such placement. Sunk cost fallacy also works on the time invested, and loss aversion applies to the free gold coins you miss out if you don't watch the video. To sum it up: This is the shift from "showing ads" to "managing player frustration." When business goals align with player psychology, the ad becomes a "win" for the player and a conversion for the publisher. Everyone wins. 😎 And it's all by design. 🤓 I’m building a full library of these monetization design breakdowns. Check the first comment for the full Google Sheet! 👇 When was the last time watching an ad actually made you happy ? #MobileGaming #GameDesign #Monetization #SubwaySurfers #LiveOps #AdMonetization

Vinícius Gerez gefällt dasVinícius Gerez gefällt dasAlmost 4 years ago I decided to call it quits on my professional career as a football referee after more than 10 years of grinding & hundreds of games, including some in Bulgaria's top flight. A tough decision, but one influenced by many factors, including the need for more time for my family & my professional commitments to the mobile gaming industry. It's a decision I don't regret - I try to keep all the happy memories from that time. This weekend, however, I got to return to the pitch and be the assistant referee at the Charity game, organized by Stiliyan Petrov, that included some of the biggest names in recent Bulgarian and European Football such as Dimitar Berbatov & Nemanja Vidic. More than 13,000 in attendance, a great cause and a great atmosphere! A huge thank you to the Stiliyan Petrov Foundation for the invitation, it was an honor! Looking forward to the next one! 😍

Vinícius Gerez gefällt dasVinícius Gerez gefällt dasI spent 20€ on a game I had never heard of, from a studio I had never heard of. Here's exactly what happened. I was scrolling Instagram. An account called @cutcine_ appeared in my feed. 8,748 followers. I'd never seen this person before. He posted a reel about a PS5 game called Mixtape, and the way he described it stopped me completely. He didn't talk about the mechanics. He didn't show gameplay clips with a voiceover listing features. He talked about what the game made him feel. That specific feeling of standing at the threshold of a new chapter in your life, doing everything for the last time, knowing you'll never see your friend's bedroom quite like that again. He described a minigame where you hold someone's hand and eventually have to let go because it's time to move on. He talked about how the game is only three hours long, and how that's exactly the point, because those moments were always too short and you always wanted to stop time. I didn't save the reel. I didn't click a link. I opened my PSN app and bought it immediately. No promo code. No UTM link. No affiliate tag. Nothing. That sale belongs to influencer marketing. Every cent of it. And it will never show up that way in any dashboard, anywhere. The channel works. Even when you can't attribute it. Mixtape is beautiful, by the way. I knew from the very first scene, skating downhill through autumn foliage, that I was going to love it. Beethoven & Dinosaur made something truly special with this one. And Annapurna Interactive , thank you for publishing some of my favourite games. This one included.

Vinícius Gerez hat darauf reagiertVinícius Gerez hat darauf reagiertJust landed in Barcelona. There’s a line of palm trees right outside the airport and every single time I come back from a trip, seeing them from the taxi window hits the same way. I took a photo. It’s not a good photo. But I I don’t really care. I’ve lived here for 8 years. And at some point, without really noticing it happening, Barcelona stopped being the city I moved to and started being home. More than France is, if I’m honest. The last few days at Supercell reminded me of something I forget when I’m working remotely for too long. There is something that happens when you’re physically in the same room as the people you’re working with, even just for a few days, that no amount of Slack messages or calls quite replaces. You pick up on things faster, you make decisions quicker, conversations go places they wouldn’t otherwise go. You stop being a name on a screen and start feeling like part of the team. And then there’s everything that happens outside of the work itself. The dinners, the conversations that go nowhere useful and everywhere interesting, the people you realise you actually really like when you’re not just collaborating on a doc together. I’m very happy to say I think I made a new friend on this trip. That doesn’t happen all the time. I come back from trips like this genuinely energised in a way that takes me by surprise every time. And then the palm trees appear and I remember that I get to do all of this and come home to here. I know how fortunate I am.
