[00:10:36] S2: So the gun. [00:10:37] S3: What do do with the currency or what what was like... What's happening before we get another [00:10:40] S2: the gun. [00:10:41] S3: You buy houses. So you buy houses and you increase them to, like, neo residents or whatnot, which is, [00:10:49] S2: like Fancy. [00:10:51] S3: 2%. 22 for an half. 20% discount. [00:10:55] S2: Woo hoo. [00:10:56] S3: Yeah. So you you can get there. Currently, I have my elite mansion, which is against [00:11:02] S0: elite mansion. Already? [00:11:04] S3: Yes. Because [00:11:05] S2: Of course he has [00:11:06] S3: hold is a common mention. Nobody likes likes that. You you get elite. See, and this this literally reminds me of my city. So we get exactly the same same setup. So we have already elite mention. So you upgrade these, you buy stuff. [00:11:21] S2: Elite. [00:11:21] S3: Then there's, like, pretty big area. [00:11:25] S2: Why everybody has a gun but not you? Get the fucking gun. [00:11:30] S3: Maybe we can go get the gun in the shop. So this is the whole area where, again, we can even look through it through TV and check it out as it's, like, living and doing good stuff. Mhmm. And you see and notice more and more that this is actually an offline game. Yes. This is one of those Jindo Blue style. Again, looks like fancy, great, whatever, full of people game, but it's completely playable offline because everything here is complete fake. So that's there, but it doesn't matter if you are nine or 10, which I'm guessing is the majority of this DAU. [00:12:06] S2: It is.
00:12:06 路 Matej Lancaric, Jakub Remiar, Felix Braberg
[00:12:06] S2: It is. [00:12:06] S3: Yes. So for that, it works perfectly. Like, we can go... Where where do we want it to... Oh, market. Yes. Market. We wanted to buy a gun. Where are guns? Up there. Guns. So we can go and buy guns. Like, for [00:12:24] S0: instance dinosaur one? Get the dinosaur one. This one? And [00:12:27] S3: then gun? Up. Up. Dino gun? Okay. There we go. Yes. [00:12:31] S2: Nice. Amazing. [00:12:33] S3: This is your gun. And you get an ad. [00:12:35] S2: And you get an ad. [00:12:36] S0: It's five minutes. [00:12:40] S3: Even the ads are kinda shitty. I mean, like, the games that are advertised, I'm guessing, are, like, all in, like, some low ECPM category or whatnot. [00:12:49] S0: But, like, this whole this whole genre. Right? Like, this is only ad revenue. Right? And they have a bunch of ad placements and a lot of ads, but like the DAU as well, it's super tier four. Ad[00:13:00] S2: They're active users for some time. Maybe they implemented Kinoa into the library system. Woo hoo. Because is also sponsor of our podcast. Thank you very much, Kinoa. Kinoa means, you know, AI operating system for mobile game, operations, life segments, flows, live ops, game ops, all you can imagine. No dev tickets. So, go to kinoa.ai, integrating hours, and turn your players into the money making machine. No, just into more revenues. Kinoa.ai. There you go. There you go. [00:13:40] S0: Like, it's a lot of users, but it's, like, nothing in tier one and nothing in tier two pretty much.

[00:13:40] S0: Like, it's a lot of users, but it's, like, nothing in tier one and nothing in tier two pretty much. [00:13:48] S3: Tap what? Tap and hold the aim to power button. Uh-huh. See, we can shoot a gun. Finally. I I heard that you can be robbed by bandits, you can shoot them. Ah, see? It works on people. [00:14:01] S2: Yeah. But can't [00:14:04] S3: I guess it just stuns them or whatever. [00:14:06] S2: Something Yeah. Yeah. That's it. Yeah. It tickles. [00:14:10] S0: Shoot a monster. [00:14:11] S3: I don't Which monster? It wasn't a monster. [00:14:14] S2: Was the one that killed you. The good luck. [00:14:18] S0: See the appeal of this. Like, this is, you [00:14:20] S3: know For for some... Because again, you can customize a lot of stuff. You can go skim. You can go whatever, you know, have [00:14:26] S2: Go to Elite Mansion. [00:14:28] S3: Yeah. Go to Elite Mansion. Elite. Talk to a fake friend. I think you can even get more blocks here and demolish buildings and, buy them. Of course, you can you can pull ads. You can build out stuff in the... In your mansion and, like, they will decorate and whatnot. So that's there. And, yeah, so there's basically a lot of activities. As you see, like, these things are, like, the main loops of getting currency, of opening chest, getting rid of the trash, and getting these happy blocks. Again, lots of customization ads. They [00:15:13] S0: even
00:15:13 路 Felix Braberg, Jakub Remiar, Matej Lancaric
[00:15:13] S0: even [00:15:13] S3: have seasonal events here. Easter or Easter eggs or whatnot. That that was it. Perfect. Yeah. So a lot of fake people, fake reindeer, it seems, Hope... Hopefully, I can ride it. Can I ride it? Of course, [00:15:35] S2: I can. Yes. Robo d. [00:15:37] S0: Robo d. Can you shoot from it as well? [00:15:43] S3: Oh, yeah. I can shoot. Nice. Even backwards. [00:15:48] S2: It is an amazing game. Award. It's an amazing game. How can you even play them fucking mobile? [00:15:55] S3: I don't know, man. But it seems you can. So that's there. And, yeah, you can just cultivate your city, build stuff, do some missions, mini games, whatnot, and think that you are surrounded by a lot of people, which you are definitely not. And you can even do stuff like change the day to a different time [00:16:15] S2: of the day. Ads. Okay. [00:16:17] S3: You can give more happiness to everybody. For ads. You can get more stuff. For ads. I think [00:16:25] S0: there's about 13 or 14 rewarded out plot spots, but Flight mode. Flight. Correct. [00:16:31] S2: Start fight start fight mode. Yes. Obviously. [00:16:36] S0: Oh, look at this Google Ads. Three ads in a row. [00:16:38] S2: Google, it's... Yeah. Exactly. Google has not two in a row, but three in a row now. [00:16:43] S3: But you you can be lucky and and skip it because the skip button for one second, it will be shown. You'll see. Really? Yes. I I managed it a few times already.

[00:16:43] S3: But you you can be lucky and and skip it because the skip button for one second, it will be shown. You'll see. Really? Yes. I I managed it a few times already. [00:16:53] S0: Because the funny thing is, like, I reached out to Google on behalf of a client a couple, like, this week, And I was like, hey. Can we get rid of these three ads? This is not okay. And they were like, yeah. Can't get rid of those ads for you unless you move to AdMob mediation. I'm [00:17:07] S3: like Yeah. What? [00:17:09] S0: I can't change my end cards anymore, Google? And they're like, no. You have to be on AdMob. I'm like, woah. Google. Woah. Elbows out. [00:17:19] S3: Oh my god. [00:17:20] S0: Not a small pub either, you know? Like. Yeah. [00:17:24] S2: But here's like two in a row. Now, it's three in a row. Jesus Christ. Next year's one [00:17:29] S0: in a row a year ago, you know? [00:17:30] S2: Yeah, exactly. [00:17:32] S3: And it's it's going to be Black Mirror all over the place. Yeah. Yeah, it seems like we got the net for exactly the same game. [00:17:40] S2: Yeah. Of [00:17:40] S3: course. Which is some copy with much less DAU. So now we have flight mode. And Oh, my. Go. Go. Go. [00:17:47] S2: Go. Go. Bitch. [00:17:48] S3: Oh, there's an airplane. [00:17:49] S2: Yeah. It's... Steal it.

We can steal the airplane. [00:18:01] S2: Can you do it? [00:18:03] S3: What what what

[00:18:03] S3: What what what [00:18:05] S2: I don't know. That doesn't matter. [00:18:07] S0: I'm having a great fun looking at this game. [00:18:09] S2: Yeah. See? So much to you. You're you're not looking [00:18:14] S3: good for bunch of mats. [00:18:16] S2: Like how much? Just steal the helicopter. Yes. [00:18:19] S0: Yeah, let's get the helicopter. [00:18:20] S2: Ride the helicopter or something. [00:18:22] S3: Just be. Why do we get the flight mode if you're not going into a helicopter? [00:18:25] S2: This is you get the flight mode to get into helicopter because if you don't, there you go. [00:18:30] S3: Yeah, this is now officially GTA Vice City, the wish version. [00:18:34] S2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wish version? [00:18:38] S3: At least you cannot break it because I would be dead by that. [00:18:42] S0: Yeah. But you you are Well, just flying around. There's, like 14 rewarded ad spots, but there's not really that much to do to get like to actually want to see them. But you know, time interstitials, five minutes Except mode. Except flights. [00:18:59] S3: Yeah. Was given. [00:19:03] S0: So the interesting part on this, right, is that it's on AdMob mediation. And I looked up at their adapps. Txt file, and they only have... Let me pull it up. They only have pretty much... Yeah, here. They only have Google, Unity, AppLovin. It's the only direct networks that they have. [00:19:34] S3: So easily
