Game in Numbers. How Analytics Allows Video Games to Thrive

A successful game is not just about engaging levels and appealing design. It is, first and foremost, a harmonious combination of a vast number of factors that together create a positive user experience. Such a game engages and retains users... and, of course, generates profit.
Why do people abandon one game even before completing the tutorial, while they play another daily for many years? Ask a game analyst!
Vasily Sabirov, co-founder of the analytics platform devtodev, knows how to make your game feel better. You will learn what a game analyst does at all stages of game project development, how to distinguish a good report from a bad one (which is not always obvious!), get acquainted with the main analytical methods, metrics, tools, and indicators, as well as specific features of analytics in the game development industry. All this through concrete examples and real cases from the practice of devtodev.
