We’re pleased to introduce to you our first Jeffree’s release of 2015, a five track EP by a literal alien fresh off crash landing in Miami, Snappy Jit! Drawing from influences such as Juke, Soca, Calypso and Miami Bass (to name a few), Snappy’s sound can be characterized as some of the best call and response tracks this side of Jupiter. ![]() The main story about the sperm whale family is a nice through line to tie the various dives together, as a baby is soon born and you’ll be eager to follow both mother and calf’s progress in the precarious time afterward, especially when it becomes clear that some kind of man-made noise in the ocean is spooking the all-female pod, while algal blooms might prove something of a more tangible threat. It is rather slow going, even when toggling the faster speed option, but for the most part that’s fine, as Beyond Blue is all about the journey rather than the destination. Swimming is simple, either with the WASD keys or a gamepad, and as you spend most of your time in open water, you won’t have to fuss much with any sort of precision. A compass is permanently displayed at the top of the screen, but it isn’t really needed as all your objectives are clearly marked on the display screen, including the distance to target. You’ll suit up already equipped with everything you need, including different types of scanners and lights. I called this a “simulation” earlier but really that isn’t true either, as you don’t have to worry about oxygen or pressure or any kind of danger at all. Over the course of eight dives spanning fourteen days, your primary task is to track and monitor a family of sperm whales across a number of distinct environments at different depths, but along the way you’ll encounter and catalogue over forty other distinct species, collect biochemical specimens, activate underwater buoys, and investigate both natural and unnatural phenomena, stopping only for the occasional break back at your vessel to touch base with your sister back home who’s dealing with your ailing grandmother. Together with fellow scientists André and Irina, you are part of a three-person team launching an online Ocean Sense Network to study, record, and even livestream underwater ecosystems. ![]() Mirai Soto, the lone diver aboard a submersible in the Western Pacific. The game puts players in the flippers of Dr. Still, with its superb production values, a slight but ongoing narrative with surprising emotional weight, and a number of educational extras to boot, it’s well worth taking the plunge for anyone with an interest in aquatic life. There are no puzzles and only the most rudimentary of objectives to complete throughout its short three-hour playtime, so it’s more of a simulation than an adventure game proper, which makes for a rather single-minded experience. Which is good, because here’s the rub: Beyond Blue isn’t really much of a game. As much as I enjoyed 2016’s ABZÛ, and as similar as the two titles are in many respects, that game was a more artistic take on marine exploration, whereas this one is more focused on realism and even education. Real divers might take exception to that description, of course, but without the benefit of firsthand comparison, I can safely say that Beyond Blue is the nearest I’ve ever felt to exploring the ocean’s depths. Or at least, I did until games like E-Line Media’s Beyond Blue came along and made me feel like I was actually there. To venture any deeper than that, I need to live vicariously through brilliant underwater TV features like the BBC’s Blue Planet series. ![]() I mean, really, what’s a Wookiee or a Klingon got on a bottom-dwelling anglerfish, giant squid, devil ray or a Benjamin Button-like de-aging jellyfish for weirdness? Alas, being more than a little claustrophobic (elevators: fine, submarines at a thousand meters down: out!), the closest I’ll ever come is a whale watching boat tour or a coral reef snorkel. As a lifelong fan of oceans, I’d love nothing more than to do a deep-sea dive to explore a world-within-our-world that’s far more fascinating and imaginative than any sci-fi planet ever conceived. ![]() For each episode of 30 levels, we added only three additional Star Levels which player would unlock after their collected 30, 60 and 90 stars. By earning Stars, players would unlock specific Star-gated levels. It took a day to create a level and about two minutes for a player to beat it. We knew that players primarily wanted more levels to play but that was also the bottleneck of production. Suddenly earning more Stars mattered as you were able to unlock few more levels with them.įirstly, we increased the replayability of each level. Replayability of each level increased with the introduction of Star-gated levels. It had to be because there’s only so much you can do with such limited resources. Our approach to achieving these goals was simple. Not to mention the fact, that there was half-a-dozen of Angry Birds SKUs with a small team on each creating about 30 levels every month basically at a loss since the games they were adding the levels to had no monetisation other than the one dollar price, which players had paid years ago.ĭue to all the facts above, my game team of six was given the ok to experiment with Angry Birds Rio and make our case that we could improve retention, engagement, and monetisation without hurting the ratings/fans. The combination of new top grossing free-to-play hits and the worse than expected performance of Bad Piggies and Angry Birds Space 2 opened the minds of the leadership to enable my team to experiment with free-to-play mechanics. Then Supercell, located only a few miles away from Rovio HQ, launched Clash of Clans ( Clash of Clans deconstruction here) and Hay Day (and Hay Day's deconstruction here) which both parked permanently on the top of the grossing charts for fuve years (!!!). First NaturalMotion’s CSR Racing ( read CSR's deconstruction here) broke all the grossing records. To sum it up, in 2012 everything was better than great and no one wanted to break the formula. The paid games, such as Angry Birds Space and Angry Birds Star Wars did close to dozen(s) of millions of dollars on their launch weeks alone and the only free-to-play game, Angry Birds Friends, was delivering hefty weekly revenues despite significantly underperforming when looking at KPIs such as the revenue per daily active player. My powerful team of five proved this argument with three critical changes, which led to sustained increase in revenues.īack in 2012 going free-to-play was considered a revolutionary endeavour at Rovio. I made an argument that by turning a paid game into a free game we could increase revenues and engagement. We argued that by doing so, we would not only increase the game’s revenue but also increase engagement and retention. We wanted to show that we could convert Angry Birds from a classic paid game into a free-to-play game. The history, and my experience, of Angry Birds’ monetisationĪ long, and in mobile game years very long, time ago my powerful team of five and I took on a challenge. Today Angry Birds 2 is a perennial top 50 grossing game, and it’s only because of the top-notch updates which have successfully introduced midcore elements to a super casual game. With each update, the game’s revenue peaked to new heights without declining to the previous lows. The updates in 2016 introduced several core mechanics such as leveling up of Birds and the Slingshot, Daily Challenges and Player vs Player Arena while at the same time keeping the rigorous level content cadence up and running. Instead of keeping up the course of just adding more levels, the Stockholm studio behind Angry Birds 2 went to work. In addition to launching key features, the game has been updated rigoroulsy with new levels. Post-launch there hasn't been any significant spikes of installs, indicating that the growth of revenue is sustainable. The growth was achieved through the launch of several key features that all built on top of each other. On the revenue side, things nevertheless looked much gloomier as the game had generated roughly “only” $10 million.Īfter the initial launch, Angry Birds 2 declined and had stable, relatively low revenues for few months. By the end of 2015 the game had racked up close to 50 million downloads. Looking at the downloads, the launch of Angry Birds 2 was a massive success. "Ever-shifting levels and limited lives take a lot of the fun out of smashing pigs with birds in Angry Birds 2." Both Pocket Gamer and IGN applauded the game for gorgeous graphics and vastly improved level design while faulting Rovio for employing the Candy Crush-like lives mechanic and randomised levels. When Angry Birds 2 was launched at the end of July in 2015 it received mixed reviews. This article was originally published on Deconstructor of Fun. Michail Katkoff is Studio Lead at FunPlus.

It thought it was so much fun,” Anna said with a smile.If there’s one running thread through this week’s best fashion Instagrams, it would be pop stars embracing their playful side. Starfire’s “disco outfit” from the first episode was brought up next. “It feels fine because she is alien and and as soon as I put it on it just helped me so much to get into the character because this is Starfire’s version of fitting in. You know, it’s someone that people know and love and you do want to please the fans. I was like ‘is this really the right choice’ and that was tough. ![]() What are her hopes? “I would say probably getting the character right because I’m big on that. We would rehearse our stunt scenes about a week before actually filming them. We had a really great stunt coordinator, Larnell. I would want too much stuff I wasn’t even able to do. It was terrifying just hoping everyone would enjoy what I did,” Anna told us.Īnna also enjoyed doing the stunts and fight scenes. I was just focused on doing the work and having fun, but the pressure did come on once we were closer to filming, like oh God, people are actually going to see this’. As you know in the later comics it’s very hot. Physically too I had a lot of working out to do for Starfire. When I got the role, I was just really focused on doing the work. When I was almost done filming, which was good. She was then asked if she felt pressure to do Starfire justice. It was one of my favorite parts”, Anna said. And we hear her speak the language which was really cool and we see the language. “We do see a bit of it through another character that’s introduced. It’s not always pretty,” Anna teased.Īnother reporter asked Anna if we’d be seeing Starfire’s home planet Tamaran. I can’t say too much about it but Brenton is freaking awesome and we had a lot of fun trying to create the dynamic between these two. At first, Anna teased me about Beast Boy being the true love of Starfire’s life, before she agreed with me about their romance “being one of the greatest comic love stories.” How would their relationship be in the show? “It kind of starts off as one thing, and turns into something else and then ends up somewhere else. I asked her about the relationship between Starfire and Robin. When it comes down to it, when it comes down to business, she’ll kick your ass,” Anna told us. She really is and I did try to bring some of that kind of playful naive thing about Starfire too because I thought that was really adorable and fun when I was researching her. It was phenomenal,” Anna said with a big smile on her face.Īnother reporter at our press table mentioned that Anna captured the take-no-prisoners attitude of Starfire. It means a lot to me that we had a full house and that the reaction was what it was when we premiered. ![]() I really do love the fans, they’re awesome. “I love our fans, they’re the reason why we’re able to do what we do, they mean a lot. I asked her about her experience with the fans during the premiere. I had a chance to chat with Anna about all things Starfire. Two days later, on Oct 5th, I attended a press session for Titans at New York Comic-Con. Her handlers kept trying to pull her away, yet Anna seemed to genuinely enjoy getting the fan feedback. During the Titans world premiere on Oct 3rd, I witnessed Anna stop to talk to every fan who wanted to meet her.

Standing on the sidelines, ready to step in, was Barry Levinson, who was faced with a studio who now wanted a Christmas movie (for 1988) and an imminent industry writer's strike. Pollack signed on, brought in his own writers, hired a crew, and then withdrew. Spielberg eventually passed to work on Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989), and Hoffman attempted to recruit Sydney Pollack, a move that raised many an eyebrow in light of the legendary blow-ups the two had during the making of Tootsie (1982). "Instead of a character who craved affection and was inherently sympathetic," scenarist Ronald Bass stated in Newsweek, "here was a character who wouldn't be touched, who wasn't lovable." In the course of his research, the actor learned of the inability of autistics to connect with others, and sought to have Raymond's character redrawn. While Steven Spielberg was being wooed as a replacement, Hoffman sought changes in the script. But Morrow, who objected to the casting of the too-youthful Cruise, was dismissed by Brest.Īfter that, three writers were hired in quick succession to tackle the script, and three weeks before production was to start, Brest abruptly left the production.
