The preliminary program of the gaming business conference White Nights Moscow 2018 has appeared. Speakers include Supercell, Playrix, Pixonic and Game Insight. The details of the program are in our material.
So far, all speakers have not been announced and not all topics have been announced. However, there are already reports that are worth paying special attention to.
Firstly, this is, of course, a public interview with Jaakko Harlas from Supercell. Yaakko is responsible for investing in the company. He will tell how Supercell made decisions about investing money in teams such as Frogmind and Space Ape.
Next, you should take a pencil report by Alexander Zabezhinsky from Playrix. In his half-hour speech, he will highlight the history of the development and support of citybuilder Township. The game, by the way, earns $ 8 million a month.
We became aware of its revenue thanks to the DataMagic service, the Russian equivalent of App Annie. The report of its author, Maxim Samorukov, opens White Nights.
A speech by Vadim Charugin from Pixonic will also be devoted to game analytics. He will tell how his team uses events in the game War Robots to test hypotheses and new game mechanics.
Nikita Sherman from Game Insight will touch on a popular topic in the report. In the center of his speech is esports. Sherman will reveal how the company is building a mobile shooter Guns of Boom as a new sports discipline.
This is far from an incomplete list of already announced speakers. The conference will also feature a report from the authors of the billion-dollar blockbuster Hill Climb Racing, a story about building a team from Playkot, a two-hour Unity track and a half-hour Facebook track, a speech by Plarium, Studio Nord, Google and an HR lecture from Values Value about how to retain employees.
