From the studio founding at the very end of 2020, to our first playtest with real players (and Shroud, lol) a few months later, to playtesting at least every month with dozens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of new players as we built this snowball.

🎮 How Cosmic Lounge is Building Games in a Better Way 🚀 At Cosmic Lounge, we believe that to craft stellar games, game teams should have exceptional tools. That’s why we built the Puzzle Engine—a proprietary AI-powered technology designed to address the biggest challenges we have seen in building mobile free-to-play games. Here’s how it’s shaping our approach: 1️⃣ Validating product-market fit: Coming up with ideas is easy, but knowing if they are good is very hard. With Puzzle Engine, our designers can quickly prototype using a no-code toolset and market-test concepts to discover which designs truly resonate with players. 2️⃣ Scaling content production: Live games need constant updates, but content bottlenecks often hold teams back. AI-powered tools in Puzzle Engine streamline this process, ensuring a steady flow of engaging levels and features while supporting advanced monetization. 3️⃣ Maximum operability: Making new features for liveops is traditionally slow. Puzzle Engine is designed to support operability-by-default, enabling easy releases of new kinds of events and updatable features—and even personalizing them. Thanks to Puzzle Engine’s unique architecture, even game mechanics can be treated as updatable content. 4️⃣ Marketing with minigames: Misleading ads may lower CPI but often lead to high churn from disappointed players. With Puzzle Engine, our marketing team can easily build and market-test user acquisition-optimized minigames for ad creatives—and include them in the actual games. This approach reduces cost per retained user by up to 50%. The Puzzle Engine represents our commitment to rethinking how puzzle games are built and giving our teams the tools to create better experiences for players. 🎥 Watch the Puzzle Engine in action. #PuzzleEngine #AI #GameDevelopment #MobileGaming

This year, we've been actively participating in key gaming events, sharing how AI is transforming game development. Through collaborations with various companies—including key partners like Google—we’ve demonstrated how AI-driven innovation is shaping the future of game creation. At Cosmic Lounge, we use our proprietary AI-powered Puzzle Engine for game development and operations. One of the pioneering use cases is AI-assisted game level generation, testing, and analytics, where we leverage integrated solutions like Google Vertex AI models to achieve up to 20x efficiency. Want to see our AI-driven tools in action? We will be at Google’s booth at Slush on November 20th at 12 PM, showcasing how our team utilizes the Puzzle Engine to push the boundaries of game design. For a snapshot of our approach, check out this video featuring our CEO, Tomi Huttula, as he explains how we harness AI to power the next generation of game development. #GoogleCloud #Slush2024 #MobileGames #AItechnology #GameTech #PuzzleEngine #VertexAI
