Last chance to sign up to the game design for engagement and retention MasterClass

The latest PocketGamer.biz MasterClass on game design for engagement and retention takes place tomorrow (Wednesday, August 28th) - and there’s still time to sign up!

The two-hour MasterClass will teach attendees how to build lasting engagement and sustainable retention into the core mechanics of your game.

Topics covered include:

• Core loops and configurations: Discover the essential stages of any core gameplay loop and how to use data to enhance replayability and scalability through effective configurations.
• Context, purpose and progression: Learn the importance of giving players a sense of purpose and progression that reinforces the value of returning tomorrow, and tomorrow and tomorrow.
• Community and social engagement: Find out how to integrate lifestyle fit, social engagement, and players' own audiences into your game design.

The online workshop will be hosted by Fundamentally Games CEO Oscar Clark. Since working as the home architect for PlayStation Home, Oscar literally wrote the book Games As A Service, published in 2014.
