LiveOps

Building a new product is a huge competition, and we know how to challenge this. We think about the game's future and build it as a scalable product.

 Our team covers all the parts of the game development process. We have the experience of launching the products to Live, know how to manage the pain points with analytics, LiveOps and DevOps, have the expertise in Web3, blockchain tokenomics and in-game economy. 

Thanks to our modules system (ready to use modules of game functionalities that we’ve developed through the years of experience) we save the development time and budget.

LiveOps = ROI

  • The market now requires more players` engagement as CPI is getting higher (a user is more expensive)
  • Retention plays a huge role in games. Having high retention means the longer monetization with ADs or In-app
  • LiveOps mechanics are targeted at the main KPIs and Conversion and Monetization are in the list
  • The higher Lifetime and the better Conversion and Monetization are - the more successful your business model and ROI

Check out the list of the available LiveOps modules that can be easily integrated into your project

Frequently Asked Questions
