- 31. Do not say it on your first date. Be casual.
- 32. Part 2 The Date Know when to leave
- 33. We feel anxious when are interrupted in the middle of something.
- 34. Stop a song in the middle and youâll be singing it in your head all day.
- 35. (I actually have the perfect song for you at the end of this deck, so you can try it!)
- 36. Stopping session âin the middleâ will get the player to play the game more frequently.
- 37. This means that your game has to tell the user when to stop playing.
- 38. Candy Crush Saga, among others, uses the âEnergyâ method, AKA lives.
- 39. There are more elegant ways, however, to signal the player to leave the game.
- 40. Boom Beach has a very clear âend sessionâ: No enemies on the map.
- 41. Monument Valley uses chapters for clear start and end sessions.
- 42. And in this game (Cow Evolution), after 2 mins of cow-merging thereâs just nothing to do until the next money batch.
- 43. To sum it up: keep the date short and leave the player wanting more.
- 44. Part 3 The Pursuit Be Classy!
- 45. You should call after the first date. Just donât beg.
- 46. The key here is to push the right trigger at the right time.
- 47. This depends on when your player is accustomed to playing and what he considers a reward.
- 48. Push notifications will work better when personalized.
- 49. Using the player name, level, or current mission can do wonders to playersâ retention.
- 50. Better yet, be funny. Be seductive.
- 51. I never got a booty notification from a game, but Iâd sure love to! Ahmm..
- 52. Whatever you do, be sure to track these campaigns. Push notifications are not to be dismissed.
- 53. How to Make It Through Your First Date First Impression The gamer must go through the first loop to completion! The Dates Excuse meâŚ. Sessions should be designed to leave the gamer hungry for more. The Pursuit The right time + the right trigger + personalization. Monitor your campaigns.
