Can celebrity collaborations elevate the gaming experience or do they dilute it? Celebrity collaborations have the potential to shake up the mobile gaming world! 🎮 Take Kim Kardashian: Hollywood (KKH) for example. Leveraging Kim’s global fame, KKH hooked millions by blending entertainment with celebrity culture. These partnerships bring something special. They don’t just add glamour—they boost game design and marketing. Players love the familiarity and allure, making the game experience truly stand out. 🌟 In my experience, teaming up with celebrities has been a game-changer. It adds a whole new vibe to the games, pulling in a wider audience and making it more exciting. 🚀 What do you think - do celebrity collaborations elevate gaming, or do they distract from the core experience? #gamedev #gamedesign #marketing

RIP the sender-receiver model. Today and tomorrows audience wants experience- to engage with meaning, and feel film and series more intimately. Be that as simple as bts and social, or as immersive as phygital collectables, VR worlds and IRL experiences. Even our current franchises (with a few exceptions) began, or have branched into, multi format and cross-medium content and gaming. Tomorrows franchises, they'll journey with the audience in a mutual experience that transcends every model of audience interaction ever imagined. There will always be a place for 'sit back and enjoy' media, but the biggest works with the longest lives and strongest ROI's will be next-level engaged with their fans and community, and on every device they own. #filmmaking #AIfilm #gaming #future #production #movieindustry

I feel incredibly honored to recognize the incredible impact TQ Jefferson has had on the video game industry throughout his nearly 30-year career. He's spent time at some of the industry's most prestigious studios, driving production and innovation for some of the most beloved entertainment properties. From his early days at Activision to his impressive roles at Pixar, Marvel, Disney, TellTale Games, Skybound, and beyond, TQ has been a true pioneer, leaving a lasting imprint on the world of digital entertainment with his forward-thinking leadership and groundbreaking ideas. TQ played a pivotal role in shaping my own journey in the video game industry. Back in 2011, when I was just starting out as the Marketing Director for Marvel Games, I had the privilege of learning directly from TQ, who was serving as the Director of Production at the time. His leadership style and management skills made a profound impact on me, shaping the way I approach my work in the industry to this day. TQ's endless passion for comic books, movies, and pop culture, combined with his innovative mindset, were evident in every project we tackled together. Whether it was breathing new life into iconic brands or pushing the boundaries of creativity, TQ's ability to blend storytelling with cutting-edge technology was unparalleled. Now, as the Chief Product Officer at Survios, TQ continues to pursue his passion for collaborating with entertainment properties to create immersive gaming experiences. His latest endeavor with 20th Century Games to bring a new Aliens story to life across various platforms is a testament to his dedication. Following his successful work on Creed: Rise to Glory for VR, TQ's commitment to pushing boundaries and crafting unforgettable gaming experiences continues to inspire us all. I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to learn from his passionate wisdom and expertise, and I'm excited to see where his visionary leadership takes the industry next. #blackhistorymonth #leadership #inspiration #entrepeneurship

🫶 Our cooperation partner Rovio Entertainment Corporation has something to say: 💬 "There are no simple hacks or shortcuts to building diverse and inclusive games, it all starts with building diverse and inclusive game companies", says Heini Kaihu, Rovio’s Chief Sustainability Officer. 🎮 Games are among the most influential forces in entertainment and the entire gaming industry holds enormous power and responsibility in defining what is considered normal and acceptable. 🎮 Rovio wanted to bring more transparency to their work in diversity, equity, and inclusion. To achieve this, they launched the Playbook for Inclusive Game Development and Marketing that draws from their extensive experience acquired over the years. 🎮 The Playbook and Cards for Inclusion are just the beginning of Rovio's journey towards truly inclusive game development.

ESPN’s alternative to #VirtualReality headsets: 360° projection domes for immersive #sports viewing coming to Dallas and Los Angeles within the next 6 months. These LED domes introduced by Cosm will open in Los Angeles at the end of Q2 and Dallas at the end of Q3. They will be 87 feet (27 meters) in diameter and able to house between 1,500 and 2,500 guests. They'll incorporate video from 8K+ sources and integrate spatial audio, the details of which are yet to be revealed. The idea is to produce a viewing experience that simulates front-row seats, with the inclusion of hall spaces and food and beverage service. Domes like this are an alternative to #VirtualReality headsets, offering an awe-inspiring, immersive experience for multiple users without needing to wear a headset on your face, which not everyone finds comfortable. However, #VR does have advantages in that it is cheaper, more portable, requires less investment in space and equipment, and offers users more interactivity. There is space for both of these models in the world of live #entertainment. I look forward to watching a game in Dallas or LA when the venues open! Thanks to Jason Lovell for the link! PS can someone add the term 'shared reality' to the growing list of #XR concepts and technologies please? 😉 #360video #ImmersiveTech #Dallas #LosAngeles
