2020 has been a year of new challenges and unexpected obstacles. fueled in large part by the coronavirus pandemic. COVID-19 impacted nearly every aspect of the global economy.

Digitalmania studio wasn’t spared either, but with the benefit of hindsight, we can say proudly that we overcame it.

Here’s A Recap Of 2020 :

• -The Infinite Loop 

• -Warshmallows

• -The team 

The Infinite loop started the year off right, in less than three months our team building activity was an international best-seller in B2B with +135 on-site team-building sessions, for +7K employees.

During that time, we were honored in Poland with the “BEST TEAM BUILDING PRODUCT” award at the Gala MP Power Awards. One of Europe’s most prestigious event industry competitions.

 

That’s when things began to shift; as the Covid crisis spread around the globe, our event agency partners and HR clients suffered major losses.

Knowing that The Infinite Loop was built for on-site activities, we didn’t take long to note the significant decrease in the number of events per day.

We had to take steps to address the challenge by giving our partners and customers a product that was acceptable for the situation.

All it took was a month of brainstorming meetings and experimentation to switch TIL from VR to the web browser while retaining the same user interface and company results, and we called it a day. The Infinite loop Online.

The Infinite Loop online growth was remarkable, in just 8 months we concluded more than  367 online team-building sessions, for + 17K employees with the support of our partners all over the world.

During that time, we kept enhancing the activity .

We added the customization features, session duration, and the option to change the language per player for Multilanguage events.

Warshmallows is community-centered since day one. We couldn’t wait for the game’s final release to start receiving feedback.

As a result, we launched our first closed beta on Steam in February 2020.

Since then, we’ve been updating the build on a weekly basis… Yeah, weekly 😉 with the following results:

• 40+ builds

• 20+ new features 

• 3 new characters 

• 4 new environments 

• 2 new modes 

And we finished the year on a high note by winning the Nordic Games Discovery Contest 2020 “Audience Choice Award “

With all of the hard work that had been put in over the year, the award was a tremendous achievement and morale builder for the entire squad.

This year has brought so much to us that we can’t wait to see what happens in 2020!  But before, let’s revisit a few of our favorite memories While we prep for our strongest year yet, we wanted to take a beat to celebrate the wins – big and small – that made up our year.

This is what happened in 2019 :

1- The Infinite Loop was launched in January and in June became the VR team-building leading experience

2- Warshmallows got international exposure and awards !!

Last year in review reminder 😉

At the very end of last year’s review, we mentioned that we are aiming to pull away from client services in favor of creating our own products that serve our company.

Hell yeah, we did it !!! 

We launched the first-ever VR business game made for team building with more than 45 partners worldwide.

Here are some facts !!!

Since its launch in January 2019, The Infinite Loop was used as a main activity in more than 330 events, held in more than 30 countries, for more than 15K professionals. and those are some of our clients 

We didn’t stop there, we launched TIL premium featuring:  

Full customization 

Template mode 

Offline mode

Extensive dashboard KPI’s

  we kept working and we launched  

TIL remote

 the ONLY remote team building activity

 we even held a world cup event to showcase the potential 

of the remote feature with all our partners.

Collaboration is a key factor for an effective team and work environment.

that’s why we ended the year by releasing TIL 2.0,

a new version where we include the collaborative mode

in-game 

« Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much. » – “Helen Keller”-  American author, political activist-

Thanks to all our partners! 

Absolutely could not have done it without you.

Let’s start by announcing that we won the qualifier round of Nordic Game Discovery Contest at PLAYCON malta.

2019 has been a huge year for Warshmallows. Seeing the people’s reactions while playing Warshmallows since we launched in 2018  was so priceless, know that people enjoyed the gameplay while using little cubic as a character.so last year we worked on creating new graphics for the game. We started by turning those tittle cubics into fluffy marshmallows, followed by improving the environment in-game.

Here, we find ourselves at the end of 2018, a year that brought to us so many memories full of emotions. It’s essential for us to reflect on the past twelve months.It was a challenging year in which we pivoted our main direction and started increasingly pulling away from client services in favor of focusing on products that serve our company.

Review of 2018 Goals:

Our main goals for the year started out as:

1. Creating the first ever VR business game (The Infinite Loop )
2. Creating a multiplayer couch game for PC and consoles (Warshmallows )
3. Maintaining our advergames service to stay sustainable

let’s start with what we have already finished 🙂

With our partner synergy the exclusive representative of catalyst global on North Africa, we created The Infinite Loop , the first ever VR business game made for team building. Our hard work paid off when we got accepted by catalyst global to publish the infinite loop on their network. Today the infinite loop is available worldwide via catalyst partners,

We proudly announce that catalyst global partners tested the game in south africa and some of them have already started to sell it.

PS: if your country doesn’t figure on the map, you can contact us directly  via contact@theinfiniteloop.net , A free demo IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR ALL till the end of January  

let’s talk about what we are working on NOW  :

After 7 years of gathering knowledge ,acquiring experience  and learning from our mistakes, we believe that the time has come to totally focus on a new game.

Abra Cadabra ! we came up with WARSHMALLOWS ! a multiplayer couch  game made for all ages.

We combined creativity, hard work and self-determination and that’s when things started happening . we tested our  first prototype in two of the biggest events in Tunisia (comic con Tunisia , banzai tunisia )

Cet article Year in review: Goodbye 2018 Hello 2019!! est apparu en premier sur DigitalMania Studio.

It was a dynamic year filled with innovative ideas, great accomplishments, and global engagements here is some numbers:

• 5 amazing new partners in Europe
• 8 cool games as a service
• 6 VR Experiences
• 2 new games as a product

DigitalMania’s 2017 games

This year was definitely the confirmation that the video game is the king in the e-entertainement industry. It’s for sure also one of the most effective way to promote brands and products and it is also a super tool for the educational apps and websites.

Here is a sneak peak about what we did last year.

First of all,We created Dark Orbit Arcade, an adaptation of the famous MMORPG « Dark Orbit », in collaboration with Bigpoint,  and ShareCoca for McCANN and both were amazing. We are also proud to say that we were part of a successful marketing campaign with Delice, in which we produced “danup the game” in collaboration with G-Dice.One of our greatest hits was garcito, a game developed for our partner agency Impact and our client SFBT.

Another remarkable event of 2017 was that we assisted Kenbil Studio and Nessma TV for publishing their game Chakapons which went viral in Tunisia (Over 500.000 users in 2 months). As believers in Virtual Reality, we had the plesure to make 6 VR games this year. For instance, collaborating with Heineken at first and then with  Shell were one of the best,for whom we created an amazing F1 racing experience .

After the success of Oh! Zone Defi on 2016, we developed another successful game : VélOh! Challenge, in partnership with Sonobra and Tracy Communication.

We continued to work with our most prolific partners and a strategic partnership have been made with the most creative and successful digital agencies .

And to make all this possible of course DigitalMania family is growing with talented and creative people.

What about Events?

2017 was also the year of connecting with our community :

DigitalMania took part in different international events, our aim is of course to promote our games, our partners games and share our experience about the creative industries.

Here is a look of this year’s events:

What about 2018 ?

2018 will be the year of augmented reality and mixed reality technologies. A big announcement will be made soon so stay posted.

In the end we want to thank everyone for making 2017 such a great year. Finally we are excited to see what 2018 will bring.Follow us on social media to be up-to-date with the latest news and check out our portfolio too.Your support is much appreciated.
