Only a handful of studios in Slovakia generate the lion share of game revenues

DECEMBER 2, 2024
Top image: The House of Tesla by Blue Brain Games This year the Slovakian games industry is expected to generate an estimated €70.3 million in turnover, slightly up from €70.1 million in 2023, but a long way removed from the pandemic-induced highs of 2021 and 2022 (€80 million and €77.1 million respectively). The fact that the top 10% of companies in Slovakia are responsible for 83.5% of all revenues is a strong indication that the industry is still unbalanced.

What defines a game’s success post-launch today? Sure, the product still reigns, but as Daniel Tchernahovsky, VP, of Global BD at AppLovin , sees it, today’s game success hinges on two strategic questions. First: what’s your creative edge—what’s going to make your game stand out in an endless market of competitors? Second: how robust is your BI system in supporting long-term growth confidently?

So recently MTG had to ban the vampire card Vein Ripper because it could be cheated into play on turn three by Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord, all because Vein Ripper is a vampire. Looking at the combo, the combo appears really obvious. My question is, do designers not keep some book of warnings for future designers to avoid potentially broken combinations? For example, a searchable word document that says “be careful making an item that does X because of Y existing item”?
Ask a Game Dev
DECEMBER 2, 2024
Nah. Trying to do this basically results in hopelessness because there's no end to it where you need to design a couple hundred new and different cards every year. It's such a combinatoric explosion and there are so many potential interactions that it quickly becomes an unsustainable mess. It's generally better to look at how things work and adjust as you go, since there's just too much complexity for any single designer (or even design team) to know about.
