Posted to Secrets Behind the Success of Monument Valley, in reply to Gadzhi Kharkharov , Oct 16, 2015 That's nice #microcopy
Posted to Secrets Behind the Success of Monument Valley, in reply to Cenk Özbakır , Oct 16, 2015 Monument Valley disrupts the traditional game design paradigm in a number of ways:
-It’s quiet and restrained: Princess Ida roams a de-cluttered world without loud music (what Ken described as “ambient, Zen-like sounds”)
- There are no artificial rewards to incentivize users
-Ida’s lack of a distinct personality lets users imagine what she’s thinking and tell their own story to foster a sense of empathy
Posted to Secrets Behind the Success of Monument Valley, Oct 15, 2015 “There are no enemies in the game and nobody is killed, and yet since its launch in April 2014 Monument Valley has sold 5 million copies and generated $13 million in revenue by attracting a broad base of fans beyond hardcore and experienced gamers including kids, old people, families, and newcomers.”
