#PGC Helsinki is wrapped up! It's great to have these smaller, more compact events, as they make it easier to connect with valuable contacts without spending all our time walking around. It also creates more opportunities for casual, random conversations without the usual rush. Great events also bring great mixers, and this one was no exception! PlaytestCloud was a fantastic start, especially with its convenient location, location. I even got a Tamagotchi! Metaplay never disappoints, offering a wonderful variety of people and cocktails. It's always good to have them at our backs. What could be more Finnish than wrapping up the night with a relaxed chat in a sauna? A big thank you to PHZ Full Stack/Apprien for that!

I’m so happy I had the chance to attend the Pocket Gamer Connects Helsinki event this year! It was inspiring to listen to amazing, encouraging talks and meet talented people. I’m feeling motivated to keep pushing forward with my studies in 3D art for games! 🎮👩🏼🎨🤩

Had an incredible time at PGC! 🇫🇮🔥 As I’m emotionally preparing to leave for the airport at 4am, I’m leaving with lots of fresh ideas to reflect on after so many inspiring talks (including our very own Julian Werner 💪) and informative panels around AI powered workflows, UA challenges in the current landscape, and a peek at Rovio’s in-house tool to support the full game lifecycle. Also grateful for the opportunity to connect with so many talented professionals and partners we’ve been working alongside. Special shoutout to Angie Dlugopolska Dana Publicover Panos Karantais and the team at PlaytestCloud for hosting the refreshing happy hour! 🍻😎 On an important side note, I can confirm Helsinki’s famous salmon soup is indeed as delightful as they say.

🏆 We proudly accept!!

Usually when you plan an event, you expect about 75% of your RSVPs to show. I guess word got out about our event and we ended up with 110%! 😳 Thanks to all who brought friends, we had so many great conversations about what's next for the Player Insights Platform™, and how games researchers are innovating their approaches!

We’re not saying we’ve got the best swag at Pocket Gamer Connects Helsinki but we are saying we’ve got Tamogachis and you can decide for yourself 🤩Come find Angie Dlugopolska at the conference or come to our happy hour tonight!

This is really, really cool (and here’s why): this chart shows how players experienced the first 8 hours of gameplay in a game tested on PlaytestCloud. Remote playtests allow players to play where they normally play on their own devices, so their gameplay experience is more natural too. You’re also able to gather data like this at scale, automatically. And let’s not forget: you might not have enough of your target players living within 20 minutes of your lab. Tracking experience from first play through the returns window means knowing exactly how players will react to your game—this isn’t just testing your onboarding or first impressions: this is where your game builds fans. And doing that at scale and remotely is wild!

While our team is in Helsinki for Pocket Gamer Connects, we're hosting a happy hour! Request your invite here:
