Bing Gordon, my mentor & founder of EA & Zynga, created a simple framework for predicting new games success:
"The WOW Score"
For the first 60m of gameplay, count the number of times a player says "Wow", cheers, tells a friend or laughs. More than 3 and you've got a hit.

🤖 The WAR ON BOTS!
To ensure WL and discord have zero bots, we use the Twitter API to validate if a user is real (why you need to connect your Twitter). Recently, multiple bot surges resulted in Twitter API rate-limiting.
We've deployed a solution, but the war rages on ✅

150
In the last few days, the Twitter API has been rate-limiting us, which has caused the errors folks are seeing. This is due to three factors:
🤖 Frequent bot attacks
⚙️ Twitter API changes
📈 Huge organic traffic

This is a far more serious global issue than most realize, and a bull case for crypto currencies (fixed supply, no centralized control or QE).
Debt is a global addiction and the fed is the dealer.
Family finances:
Annual Income $49,000
Annual Expenses $69,000
Credit limit $314,000
You just maxed out your credit lines at $314,000 🙁

That is the US govt right now but with a lot more zeros.

1/ Building the next MEGA FRANCHISE requires thoughtfully weaving together every artistic medium to create an experience that is:
- Instantly Immersive
- Broadly accessible
- Both nostalgic and novel
- Simple but deep
- Natively cross platform
Let's dive in:
1
10
72
This framework was used to ship mega franchises like:
- The Sims
- Sim City
- Farmville
- Need for speed
- EA Sports titles...
- Many more
True experts often make things simple in ways that seem obvious, but are completely novel.
10
15
77
7/ The UI
Good UI is also a tutorial – it's at the core of making games broadly appealing.
Dimensionals UI is natively cross platform. Whether you're playing on PC, phone, tablet or console – it just works.
This is key to hitting mass appeal!

Important nuance here: you also need to be right.
Best way to do that is to learn by shipping fast, shipping often, and talk to customers constantly for decades.

6/ The Music
This isn’t just a battle, its a music video.
Every VFX, every hit, every transition is synchronized with the music. You just can't stop watching.
Playing Dimensionals is like watching a live DJ set – the entire battle was designed FOR the music!
1
6
65
3/ The Environment Design
At the core of our environment design is colour theory.
Our artists organized the hue, saturation and values across the scenes composition to draw you directly into the action.
The environment creates the epic RAID BOSS feels!
1
6
63
2/ Wow at first glance
The art team has 1 cardinal rule: Every screenshot should be poster quality. Every frame visually stunning. Hook people from the first glance.
When you first see Dimensionals, you should want to drop everything and play.

66
5/ The VFX
The VFX tie everything together. They bring life to our environments through motion, momentum and colour.
The constant movement puts you right in the zone: driving, determined, and relentless.
