Think Different Or How To Boost Retention In VR 🧠🤘🍏 Faced with a funny case - how do you open a gate if you're too small? The answer is to climb the gate and pull the lever! At first glance it seems to be just a gate, but I had to be imaginative to open it, I never thought that such a simple action would require ingenuity Often in games there is a routine in which we have to discover, find, use, do something that does not activate the creative part of our brain at all But if we do something simple in a completely unusual way, it automatically evokes emotions and makes us want to know - what's next? The feeling of "what's next?" is one of the keys to retaining players because it plays to their sense of curiosity, about the same feeling one gets from opening loot boxes What else do you think keeps players in the game?

Virtual Reality is no more just a fascinating tech around. It has highest potential to drive one's #phobia out by consciously getting into the environment and experiencing situations that one is fearful of to do in natural setting. It's not just about fear of height but it's about closing doors to experience the highest peaks, to miss the breeze and also missing out the company of individuals around creating #memories. With #VR, you get to do all of these. Experience the trails while being conscious about safe and confident surrounding, exploring it again and again leading to make it a exciting thing around. (#trekkers might understand this better) And the tech is not just for interpersonal benefits, but it's also about professional being aware about handling situations around. May it be a fire drill or a natural calamity, survival tactics is what every Human needs to be aware about. No other tech but VR can give you a chance to be in situation and get ready to push your self to limits.

The Easiest Way To Get Players Engagement 🎩🤗👺 Curiosity is one of the feelings that makes a player explore every corner on the map to find something of value for themselves But what if you don't have to go far? What if you can see something new and obscure in places you've already been to In the VR game Gorilla Tag I've noticed a cool thing about adding something new but not giving access to that new thing, like a huge door somewhere When I go into a project and see things like that, one of the first things I do is look for a YouTube video to get to the object or open something, because I just wonder what it is For example in this video, I noticed some sort of mask behind the glass and tried to get to it. It didn't work for me, but now I'm thinking about it and waiting for an update, and those feelings might influence my actions So here's if you want to create movement in a project, try something like this or share similar tricks in the comments! 💬👇 #vr #meta #quest #xr #vrgame #gorillatag #engagement #retention #mau
