What defines a game’s success post-launch today? Sure, the product still reigns, but as Daniel Tchernahovsky, VP, of Global BD at AppLovin , sees it, today’s game success hinges on two strategic questions. First: what’s your creative edge—what’s going to make your game stand out in an endless market of competitors? Second: how robust is your BI system in supporting long-term growth confidently?

The Fatal Fury fighting game series stretches all the way back to 1991, when SNK Corporation released Fatal Fury: King of Fighters for arcades.

As stated in my previous post , my goal is to improve the robustness of the Untold Engine by focusing on developing various games. I was thinking of a game to make, and I thought about how much my kids love car games. So, I decided to develop one. I went to BlenderMarket to check out any car assets I could use, and I found a nice City asset. My idea is for the car to drive around the city.

Top image: The House of Tesla by Blue Brain Games This year the Slovakian games industry is expected to generate an estimated €70.3 million in turnover, slightly up from €70.1 million in 2023, but a long way removed from the pandemic-induced highs of 2021 and 2022 (€80 million and €77.1 million respectively). The fact that the top 10% of companies in Slovakia are responsible for 83.5% of all revenues is a strong indication that the industry is still unbalanced.

It happens on occasion, but not super often. Usually, you want a subject matter expert to handle issues with the subject - an engine programmer to work on the engine, a rendering programmer to work on the renderer, and so on. The reason for this should be obvious - you want an expert to do the work so that the best work gets done and you get your money's worth from paying that expert to be an expert.

There is a difference between having a degree and not having one in a relevant field, but it isn't as important as one might think. The kind of degree you hold really only matters for the initial application round, where the recruiters sift through all of the applications and decide who gets callbacks and who gets dropped. This is because, realistically, we can't call every applicant back for each open position.
