https://lnkd.in/gjJak_7G Great stuff coming for PC Gamers in the Xbox PC app and Cloud! Cloud gaming support for mouse and keyboard brings input support to a bunch of cloud games. (Personally, M+K is my favorite way to play fps, so I'm very happy about this.) Hellblade II is coming to the PC app with special channel and Compact mode improvements for players on handhelds. Proud of the work of the design team on these features: Joe Wheeler, Yi-An Chien, Jimmy Hsu, Jazz Ang, Fernanda G., Anthony Giardini, Selina Huang, Katie Calaway and Kristine Golus. #xbox #gaming #pcgaming #design

TOP-LIST NEWCOMERS ”ZENLESS ZONE ZERO”, “MINESWEEPER NETFLIX”, AND OTHERS. Last week was filled with new games on the top charts. 🏅 I'll talk about some of them below. ✅ “Zenless Zone Zero” by HoYoverse The developer of the big hits “Genshin Impact” and “Honkai: Star Rail” released its new action RPG for iOS, Android, PC, and PS5 last week: “Zenless Zone Zero”. As with previous HoYoverse games, ZZZ begins with incredible numbers. 🤯 In five days the game reached almost US$20MM in IAP revenue on the Apple store alone. Among the game reviews, I recommend Harshal Karvande's excellent article on the Naavik blog. 👉 🧠 ✅ “Schoolboy Runaway - stealth” by Linked Squad “Schoolboy” is a life simulator in which the player is a young man unhappy with his parents. As it says in the store description, “immerse yourself in the role of a schoolchild whom the parents punished for a bad grade at school, and try to escape from home without being noticed by father and mother.” 😕 Despite its ethical dilemmas, the game has become a trend in Russia 🇷🇺 and is spreading around the world. In the last two weeks, the game has accumulated more than 2MM downloads. ✅ “Wasteland Life: Survival Idle” by SayGames I mentioned "Wasteland” in my list of releases and transfers from the last half of May. It is an Idle Arcade with a Mad Max-style desert survival narrative. 🏜️💦 Developed by Tinkles Games, “Wasteland Life” started the growth stage on June 4th, reaching over 1MM so far. 📈 ✅ “Minesweeper NETFLIX” by Netflix Developed by Smoking Gun Interactive Inc. (a Keywords Studios company), this streaming giant's version of a classic puzzle Minesweeper📍💣 is amazing! And it wasn't just me who liked the game. 🤩 In just a couple of days since its release, the game has already surpassed 200k downloads. 📈 Swipe through the slides below and you'll find out about games from Supercent, Goodroid, Inc., Wonder Group, Fanatee, Ateam Inc.（株式会社エイチーム）, and others that are also on the rise. - X - This research was supported by Cost Center. Cost Center is a tech company that offers a powerful suite of tools for Mobile Publishers to optimize UA campaigns. 💪 Its portfolio includes amazing clients such as Amanotes and Lihuhu. 🏆 Do you like it? 🤩 Call my friend Yi Ting Ho. She'll show you a demo. 😉 #netflix #gaming #gamedevelopment #HypercasualByCarlosPereira

Listen, I'm no prude or pearl clutcher but this is such an important topic. 1) You have team members that don't drink for a number of reasons and making booze your only form of team bonding or celebration leaves them out or forces them into uncomfortable positions. The opposite of the assumed goal. 2) Gaming as an industry in particular has rampant sexual harassment and abuse. Involvement of alcohol does not help. This isn't fear mongering - I know of, have seen, or experienced several incidents. 3) You don't have to go totally dry 100% of the time to be safe and inclusive, but you do need to factor in safety measures. It wouldn't hurt to stop making booze the primary activity as well. If you need a selfish reason, the liability alone isn't worth it.

Multi-platform games are learning from mobile in the best ways possible. Roblox, like many mobile-first developers, has finally adopted the monetization approaches that can help it grow revenue at scale. Instead of relying on custom-built activations that are great buzz but don't generate recurring ad revenue, Roblox has expanded its ad offerings to including programmatic video and e-commerce - two of the foundations of the mobile gaming revenue ecosystem. #Gaming #Ecommerce #ImmersiveExperiences

New blog post: "The Future of Work" Delved into the evolving landscape of networks and AI during some downtime. Big changes are on the horizon. Thanks to • Andrej Berlin for the insightful interview, and to Michael Peck, Ed. D. , Nick Dine, Joette Jones, Michael Mancuso, and Alex L. Nguyen for their invaluable feedback during the editing process. Interesting observation: AI doesn't simplify writing complex topics—it amplifies the challenge of managing information overload. #AI #FutureOfWork https://lnkd.in/eQatPVbT
