Disney's worst nightmare? Mickey Mouse with guns is certainly up there. Do you want to create a game but you have no budget for marketing? Mickey Mouse's copyright ran out (at least part of it) and it's a gold mine. Even if it's not the actual Mickey Mouse and it's just the older version named Steamboat Willie, it still has recognizable features that will be associated in users minds with the iconic character. Creating a game with characters that can instantly be recognized by a good chunk of the world is instant free distribution. What do you think we'll see next? Steamboat Willie gambling games? How far can this push the nerves of Disney's laywers? This and how it affects the stock of Disney will be captivanting to watch in 2024. What a great start of the year! #disney #steamboatwillie #mickeymouse #gamedevelopment

Another HUGE move for Netflix Games 🔥 GTA Triology is coming to Netflix next month 🚀 Just a few weeks after announcing the addition of GOTY Hades to their platform, now we have another huge addition for Netflix games who clearly are not wasting their time. It couldn't arrive on a better moment, GTA VI trailer will be announced next month and players will have the NEED of playing some GTA for old times and Netflix is not going to miss to opportunity to give it for free on mobile to their users. I love the approach that Netflix is taking bringing these big titles! One of the key problem is than less than 1% of the subscribers play Netflix games on a daily basis and these additions are definitely a HUGE push to solve that problem. Looking forward to see what titles will come next :) #gamingnews #gta #netflix

Imagine the headlines a PV show would get if it is specifically designed to be combined with therapeutic psychedelic drugs for the treatment of American prisoners? Where the goal is not just to entertain - but to help put people gain perspectives and heal their mind. GenAI can help with the paperwork for the prisoners.. and the masses of free people will be intrigued (and can also greatly benefit, with or without psychedelics). Instead of an intro, people can go through a self induced hypnosis (or skip it of course). Even if the “psychedelic prison experiment” element of the show is a bit gimmicky… home viewers can still greatly benefit, even in the worst case scenario where they only experience a “placebo effect” of wellness and reflection. Think Big! Success and Scale Bring Broad Responsibility! Invent and simplify! Giddy up! Disclaimer: I am not an expert or a user (I only drink caffeine and take hot showers.) But apparently people like Elon musk do benefit from these therapies. This is not medical advice. Please consult with your doctor before trying any new medicine!

I want to share a recent experience with a #Netflix game "Reigns" on my TV (which is currently in Beta). Not expecting a lot from it, I scanned the code I saw on the screen to use my phone as a gaming controller. From a #gamingdesign standpoint, it involved simple right/left swipes on my phone—influencing the storyline with each choice. The narrative is laced with surprises and humor that kept me quite engaged. Now, being the #instructionaldesigner, my mind naturally drifted to what's happening behind the scenes. Every decision I made had a ripple effect on the #scoring elements at the top of the screen. It's not just about picking options randomly—you've got to make choices that align with the game's goals to keep your "game life" intact. I experimented with different approaches—sticking to a consistent set of values didn't quite do the trick, and random choices were a dead end (no surprise there!). The way to proceed is to pay attention to those scoring metrics and make decisions that help you progress. As the game unfolded, more cards got thrown into the mix, expanding the entire "game universe" experience. Achieving goals allowed me to collect objects and unlock new stages—adding another layer of complexity. That being said, Netflix is stepping beyond its usual mobile game offerings by offering #cloudgaming. You don’t need a full gaming setup—you can stream games directly from Netflix's servers to any of your devices. Have you embarked on this Netflix gaming journey? What are your two cents? Any other Netflix TV games that left you pleasantly surprised? Let's swap stories! 🎮🍿 #NetflixGaming #BetaTestingAdventures #SwipeToPlay #SanicaShares

This movie was a wonderful case study of licensing, particularly international licensing. I have yet to see a film that dives into the intricacies and power of licensing in such a fun and thrilling way, like Tetris does. 10s across the board. What movie demonstrates the power of licensing to you? #licensing #ip #brandlicensing #gaming https://lnkd.in/g5VvWWvp
