Anime Expo 2011: Sunday (100+ photos) Sunday’s attendance seemed to drop when compared to the heights seen on Friday and Saturday. In addition to all the normal activities you’d find at a convention like Anime Expo, the official AX 2011 cosplay masquerade was scheduled to happen on that evening. Due to my incredible experience at WonderCon’s masquerade earlier in the year, I was extremely excited for the chance to see award-winning costumes getting a moment to shine on stage for the chance at winning thousands of dollars in prizes. Other than that, I still spent the majority of my day hopping around from place to place with my trusty camera in tow. By nightfall, my photo count for Sunday was nearing 140 pictures. Hit the jump when you’re ready to head into the breach once more.
A Hacker's Guide to Monetizing Free-to-Play Games - Betable The Free-to-play Revolution Free-to-play games are growing in popularity and quickly taking over the Top Grossing app spots on both the App Store and the Android Market. It makes a lot of sense, especially for social games that need to achieve critical mass for the best gameplay experience. The user adoption rate of a free product is 5 to 6 times higher than a product that costs even $0.01, and that viral spread is a great way to get users to refer you to the customer that will make that free-to-paid conversion later. This option also drives strong category rankings because it drives more installs, which makes it especially valuable now that Apple has prohibited incentivized installs to a certain extent. That said, converting users in your game from free-to-paid can be difficult, because you have to provide the initial value for free to drive user acquisition and then provide additional value to convert a user from free-to-paid.

Its many games, which include Battlestar Galactica Online, Drakensang Online and Farmerama, may be free, but with a philosophy that says "you can be as creative as you want to, but base it on numbers," the German publisher is becoming one of the richest players in the online marketplace. We met Philip Reisberger, its chief games officer, to discuss the importance of creatives understanding financial realities, a Darwinian approach to game design, why EA doesn't understand monetisation and why Team Fortress 2 shouldn't have gone free-to-play. You’ve said that Bigpoint has over 200 million registered users.

(Bizarre aside: it took me longer than I expected to find a link to it via Google) A friend of mine invited me to try it, and I've been meaning to for a while. NEO Scavenger has its roots in a post-apocalyptic homage to Oregon Trail, so it makes sense to see someone's modern interpretation of a "Trail-like" game. I'd played a social game or two before.

September 2011: Free-to-Play There has always been free-to-play games, but the question remains: How do we earn money? Unless you are a non-profit or a philanthropist, that money issue will always come up. With casual games and shareware, the try-before-you-buy system of downloading the trial or demo version has been a proven method. There has also been tiered membership, divvying up perks to be added to each tier, from basic free up to the deluxe premium package. And of course, we are familiar with the ad-supported Web sites and games. Hong Kong Visa and Travel Permit Required Documents for Hong Kong Visa Application: 1.
