00:00:00 路 Felix Braberg, S1, Matej Lancaric, Jakub Remiar
[00:00:00] S0: Like, if let's say you're earning 40 k, yeah, my assumption is still true that you can double that if you do the things that I said. And then if Matej assumptions are true, which they usually are, you can probably six x your user base. You can double how much money you get from the ads, and you can six x your user base. So... [00:00:17] S1: It's 4AM, and we're rolling the dice. But day drops, knowledge made of golden ice. Felix with ads making those coins rise. Jakub designs worlds chasing the sky. We're the two and a half gamers, the midnight crew, talking UA adverts and game design too. Matej, Felix, Jakub bringing the insight. We're rocking those vibes till the early daylight. Matej, UA, master eyes on the prize, tracking data through the cyberspace skies. Felix stacks dollars like a wizard in disguise. Jakub's Craft and Rels up just to the highs. Two and a half gamers talking smack. Slow hockey stick, got your back. Ads are beautiful, they light the way. Click it fast, don't delay. [00:01:11] S2: Hello? Hey. Hello, Jakub. Hello.

Nobody knows what it is. [00:01:31] S0: I do know. I do know. You do know. Yeah. Huge. [00:01:35] S2: It's huge and it's old as well. So. [00:01:38] S3: It's still huge. [00:01:39] S2: And it's still huge. Yes. [00:01:42] S3: Figure I could numbers. [00:01:43] S2: Yes. Welcome. My name is Matej Lancaric.

[00:01:43] S2: Yes. Welcome. My name is Matej Lancaric. [00:01:46] S0: I'm Felix Braberg. [00:01:47] S3: And I'm Jakub Remiar. Oh. [00:01:50] S2: And we are your hosts. Welcome. Are you ready for a school craft party? [00:01:59] S3: Of course. [00:01:59] S2: I also played [00:02:00] S0: today and I was just like, what the hell is going on? [00:02:04] S3: Two two old finishes. No. It's actually genius. Okay. [00:02:08] S2: Course. Of course, you have always different opinions than we have, right? Felix. It's like he's always like it. [00:02:18] S0: What do we have? Because I'm napping. [00:02:20] S3: This time. Yep. Oh, this is action sandbox, I think, is the category of Yeah. The So what we have here is very sophisticated action sandbox, and, actually, you will be mind blown show you what You will shit bricks. You will shit bricks. So it looks like Minecraft or Roblox, which we place like it, but it's it's actually placed a little bit more like GTA. GTA, I would say. That's, I I would say, the closest kind of a comparison. So we have our character that can kind of go around the world, can even run, jump, eat food, which I don't know why, but okay. [00:03:11] S2: Why not? [00:03:12] S3: Yeah. Why not? It can have its own pet, which I think I selected the dog, and there's, like,. Because [00:03:19] S2: you're a dog person. [00:03:20] S3: Yes. Exactly. And then there are shit ton of [00:03:23] S0: ads. Or Yes. [00:03:26] S3: I can watch ads to remove ads. Which is the first time
00:03:26 路 Jakub Remiar, Felix Braberg, Matej Lancaric
[00:03:26] S3: I can watch ads to remove ads. Which is the first time [00:03:31] S0: that we had this before. What you do at? To remove before. Yeah. Like. You need watch that. Really low usually, that means you have really low... That one rewarded. So, like, if you're reverting to that. Right? [00:03:46] S3: I never seen this before. This is the first time I've seen this ad placement, and you need [00:03:50] S0: to watch that. Makes very little sense, usually. [00:03:53] S3: Of course. Yeah. So it will give us an ad as usual. [00:03:57] S2: Hey. What a [00:03:58] S3: see how fast into the session the ad was there because it is as it is. This is one of those ad simulators. [00:04:06] S2: Is Is Yeah. [00:04:07] S0: But, no, it's actually ads on a five minute cooldown, Jakub. So, basically, you get your ad really quickly when you first get in, but then, basically, there's ads on a five minute cooldown unless you click certain things in the game. But if you only play the game it's five minute cool down. But if you start clicking stuff then where you get more ads. [00:04:24] S3: And by the way it's forced forced fed rewarded because you still [00:04:27] S0: you still get money for me. [00:04:30] S2: Here you go.
