Kazutomo Niwa is a former software engineer at Nintendo Company Limited and Sega, and left in 2016 to found GS2.io. Live-service games may seem like a lot of work with little reward, but in Japan and Asia, the top ten games on app stores are live-service-based. The “game beyond the game”, or metagame experience plays a critical role in the success of live-service games. Kazutomo will share methods for building high player engagement through effective metagame development and introduce GS2 (Game Server Services), which makes metagame development simple &amp; easy to integrate for developers. This talk will be live translated by Don Mesa, and Kazutomo Niwa will be flying out to this Meetup to share his knowledge about foreign gaming markets with our communityAvi RomanoffFounder/CEO Magic Circle Studio20 Min TalkFrom TikTok virality to $1M pre-seed, the story of Magic CircleIn this talk, learn from the Founder/CEO of Magic Circle, Avi Romanoff, on how his TikTok account turned his game Truffle Hogs into a fully VC backed indie game studio.
