Sound pretentious?<br />
<br />
That might be true—but if you want some definite facts, here are a few. It is practically indisputable that developers have been booming in nearly all areas but one: making money. With the new ease with which games can be made, the world has seen a flurry of game products, so much so, that it is often impossible so that in order to become popular games have to charge very little or no money to play.<br />
<br />
With many alternatives, it can seem next to impossible for all but the most popular games to find any way to make money. But did that have to happen? Can it change?<br />
We aim not only to prove that it can, we aim change the industry in such a way that the customers will actually be happier paying to play their games than searching out free alternatives, and where a larger amount of profit can go to game developers.<br />
<br />
Enter our gaming platform, where gamers pay a monthly subscription fee to receive an all-access pass. Kids get to play the best popular games, and also will have the opportunity to help the bestup-and-coming and indie games gain exposure and turn a profit more easily. This is a product to believe in.<br />
<br />
Early just this spring we closed a deal with a game industry expert with who is creating the first global brand for such a game service under the name Ninplay. Ninplay aspires to be the next Netflix or Spotify, for mobile gaming. This Tailorstage-based platform will be available first in England, before branching out to countries around the world, from Russia to India, and beyond. Check out their website at Ninplay.com<br />
<br />
We believe that our product has a flexible future building off of this success, and that the technology can be improved upon and more tightly focused in order to reach particular consumer groups. Our next stepping-stone is to add features to this platform to create a 2nd product; a game service that is directed at families - KANGULE.com, which will provide a new games environment for families, especially for families with little children, so that smartphones/tablets can function as a safe playground for little ones, and a fun one for all. These days, it is almost impossible to prevent kids from playing games on mobile devices. Helping them have an uplifting and positive introduction into the world of gaming, and helping parents to feel comfortable with the content is a simple, yet (we believe) an underrepresented market in gaming, and is the next stepping-off point for Tailorstage products.<br />

Back when we wrote the blog post about Spotify, we discussed the question of what happens in terms of money for songs listened to in a month from a particular band. What happens, and specifically, how much money does the band get for it? This is assuming that the band receives 0.0065 USD per song streamed.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div style="background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
The purpose of this was not to bash Spotify, who have proven their model to be very successful, and have had an outstandingly professional approach to applying it. This is especially true, seeing how our business model’s base approach isn’t so different. And there are indeed similarities—even still, it is not particularly on these similarities that I want to concentrate as much as on some of the differences. For this post I want to talk about the revenue sharing model we are using in a way that would be enlightening for game developers.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div style="background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
Since the realm of gaming also possessing some particular peculiarities in terms of business opportunities compared to the commercial music industry, we believe that we can be extremely successful with a lightly tweaked approach. We have spoken at other times about how we want our game service to be available in many countries, and especially we want to implement the many different types of payment methods that would allow as many end-users as possible to have access to our services. This could be seen as problematic when it comes to regional payment options, as transaction costs can be very high in some countries. It becomes even more of a headache, because these payment options are sometimes the only way to reach customers in these countries. This, by the way, is one of the reasons that Paypal was first conceived.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; color: #212121; font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 17.6333px;">'</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; color: #212121; font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 17.6333px;">To come to the point, we have certain considerations in our revenue sharing model bear a short explanation. To remain flexible enough to be internationally effective, we have translated the difficulty with high transaction costs to a method of calculating revenue shares after transaction and distribution costs. This is the stepping-off point for our cost calculations, that lets us pay as much as we can while keeping the same model from country to country. </span><span style="background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; color: #212121; font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 17.6333px;">We want to develop a fair way to implement revenue sharing, that allows a user to pay a monthly fee, and then, based off of this income, and costs, than the revenue share will be calculated out for the individual Game Developers. Thus, a user can play a play games, and we can use this information to then calculate which Developers get paid what amount. That means that our system is dynamically individual!! Every single monthly fee will be paid out through a shared revenue system—completely!! No matter if a Game was played for one minute, or ten games 20 hours each.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

NinPlay, like most mobile apps, from Viber to Candy Crush, though available for phone and tablet, can’t yet be downloaded for gaming on Laptop and PC computers. Why, you ask? Like social media, soft drinks, and Mr. Bean—PCs and Laptops don’t seem to be going anywhere in a hurry. It really makes you wonder if there isn’t some easy way to make a crossover possible.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
Did you wonder about that? If so, this post is aimed at you.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
Like most Current trends, where traditional operating systems don’t seem to play nice with app stores, Ninplay’s app, like many phone apps, might seem needlessly limited. Luckily, the growth of smartphone and tablet usage in the last few years has seen the advent of emulator services for just such apps as NinPlay. Because our technology is an account based service, NinPlay is able to run on emulators, and you can keep your save data across your devices.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
For the 46% of us that still use a laptop or desktop computer as a primary means of internet access*, we recommend a flexible desktop emulator like BlueStacks ©, which will let you gain access to not only NinPlay, but all your mobile apps. And if you, like us, prefer to get away from the freemium services, check out other emulators that offer ad free services, like Andyroid, as well.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
Bluestacks is largely designed around mobile gaming, and is thus quick to install and easy to use for these purposes. Just download the app from our website, and start downloading your games. Be aware, though, that Bluestacks will encourage you to buy their full version, and if you choose to use their free version you will be required to download their apps from time to time to continue to use their services.<u></u><u></u></div>

Andyroid, while a little more is involved in terms of steps needed to install, also has a great support team on their Facebook, which effectively functions as their tech support page. It, like BlueStacks, also includes great functionality, but is free to use, and unlike BlueStacks doesn’t make you download apps to your computer.<u></u><u></u></div>

<b>Berlin Games Week</b></h2>
another year and many awesome events. Firstly we would like to thank to all the organisors of the different events of the Berlin Games week.<br />
<br />
I had the opportunity to participate at different events, for example our company Tailorstage was invited to the indie area of the quo vadis conference. This year there was a new location selected, and most people said it was a right decission. We have seen many nice games and met many interesting people. Either this happened during the day while listening to interesting talks or the well organised night and side events. Either we learned more through a meeting at the Scandinavian embassy (organised by <a href="http://www.medianet-bb.de/DE/BerlinBalticNordicnet/">medianet</a>) and listened to representatives of the Scandinavian and Baltic states what they have achieved in the last years with their gaming sectors and how they achieved this target.. <br />
<br />
Or we have simply been out to other matchmaking dinners and parties.<br />
<br />
On Friday I visited the <a href="http://amaze-berlin.de/">Amaze</a> event, which also moved to another location. For example there was an interesting presentation about VR/AR games - where random people from the Amaze event played these games and really enjoyed it.<br />
<br />
And in the evening and over the weekend there was the amaze exhibition with different games inside the <a href="http://www.urbanspree.com/">urban spree building</a>. Most of the games were able to play multiplayer and fun to watch people playing.<br />
<br />
We had interesting meetings and a good time, especially it was the first time that we presented our new cooperation partner <a href="http://ninplay.com/">Ninplay</a>. We hope soon to be able to give more details about our "Netflix but for mobile games" product.<br />
<br />
Anyway, thanks to all for a great Berlin Games Week!!<br />
<br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Die derzeitige Situation mit Spotify</b></span></div>
<b id="docs-internal-guid-d9304586-8be4-50ba-3263-af8f77974ec8" style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In Deutschland, erstes Halbjahr 2015, sind mittlerweile 12,8 Prozent der Umsätze durch Streaming Dienste erlangt worden. Demgegenüber Downloads, wie bspw. über den iTunes Store, liegen bei über 18,2 Prozent. Und die gute alte CD steht für knapp über 60 Prozent der Umsätze.</span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Der Artikel in der Zeit No. 50 2015 geht sehr gut auf die Vor- und Nachteile der Streamingdienste ein. V.a. aber auch dass es Anbietern wie Spotify und Deezer weiter innovativ bleiben müssen, denn es gibt doch noch immer erhebliche Kritik gegen das Modell. Und wahrscheinlich sind auch andere Teilnehmer in diesen Märkten, bzw. deren alte Strukturen, die Streamingdienst nicht immer gut aussehen lassen.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Z.B. wird hier aufgezeigt dass, in manchen Fällen, die Musiklabels einen großen Teil der Einnahmen einbehalten. Aber es wird vor allem gezeigt, wie sich Musiker mit den Streamingdiensten arrangieren. Sei es als ein Modell um bekannter zu werden und dann eher über Konzerte Geld zu verdienen, oder dass neue Alben erst mit Verzögerung über die Streamingdienste zu hören sind. </span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Dazu habe ich zwei zusätzliche Punkte, die aus unserer Erfahrung mit der Erstellung unseres Beteiligungsmodells und unserer Vision Spotify, aber für mobile Games, entspringt:</span></div>
<ul style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Wie ist das Beteiligungsmodell von Spotify? Ich lese meist von Cent Beträgen pro gespielten Song. Was ist wenn jemand ausschließlich einen Song pro Monat hört, aber immer wieder? Dann sollte doch diese Band auch 70% der Umsätze bekommen? Bzw. und das finde ich viel wichtiger, was passiert wenn ein Nutzer nur einmal einen Song hört!? Bekommt dann das restliche Geld Spotify!?</span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Macht es Sinn dass es ein Startup gibt dass Streamingdienste und ein Kaufmodell miteinander vereint? Das haben wir oft von potentiellen Kunden und Experten gehört, warum soll man denn eine Spieleflatrate von anderen gekauften Spielen trennen? Speziell jetzt wenn viele bekannte Musiker Ihre Alben erst mit Verspätung den Streamingdiensten zur Verfügung stellen. Vielleicht kann ein Spotify Nutzer auch einen besseren Preis für ein Album erhalten? </span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<br />
Auch noch eine Modell Rechnung. Bei ca. 20 Milliarden USD Umsatz für Musik würden also 200 Millionen zahlende User über 24 Milliarden USD in die Kassen spülen. Das sollte doch bei 120 US-Dollar oder Euro Jahresgebühr möglich sein?<br />

In this little report you get a good overview about the mobilke games market, and we found an interesting quote from Steve Stopps about the biigest trend in mobile gaming in 2015 "..it is the beginning of Netflix style business model for games.."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We are working on that topic for a longer time now, and especially with our flatrate model for families, we finally get more and more positive feedback - especially from endusers, which have got children between 2 and 10 years.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We believe we have got a very good model especially for the game developers. With us they will expect relevant additional revenues and awareness by endusers. And we are very sure we have the best model of revenue shares in the market, because we are a small startup without a big "water-head".</div>

Innovation durch Kooperation – Chancen für etablierte Unternehmen und StartUps in der Medienbranche</h1>
<div>
Ein gut erdachtes Programm mit einer interessanten Mischung aus etablierten Unternehmen verschiedener Unternehmen. V.a. auch Unternehmen ganz klassischer NAtur, welche groß in der alten Welt sind, und sich auf die Digitalisierung vorbereiten, bzw. eine Strategie umsetzen und immer nach neuen Impulsen suchen.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Bekannte Investoren aus der Berliner Szene, u.a. Ulrich Schmitz von -axel Springer Ventures und Renate Dempfle von PVD Intermedia Venture, haben sich mit Münchner Ansprechpartner gut gemischt, dies hat dann auch die Workshops interessant gestaltet - für mich als Berliner also eine gute Abwechslung bei einer kleinen Konferenz mit interessanten Ansprechpartner außerhalb der Berliner Szene in Kontakt zu treten.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
Wir sind gespannt ob sich daraus etwas interessantes entwickelt.<br />
<br />
Die Veranstaltung fand in dem Literatur Haus München statt - http://www.literaturhaus-muenchen.de/<br />

The event was again bigger - but hopefuly now it stays at this size, as it becomes to big already.<br />
<br />
<b>In general</b><br />
I had a lot of meetings with different business partners and investors. But I had also enough time to listen to quite a few interesting talks about the media, green tech and ICT businesses. In one of their talks speakers mentioned the importance of B2B-businesses for startups, there are a lot of possibilities. I think it is a good event to get more insights and maybe to find new ideas what to develop or for whoch conmpany you could start to work.<br />
<br />
<b>Our learning from last year</b><br />
This year was the 2nd time attending at Slush, and this year i was ḿuch better prepared than the years before. I didnt use the matchmaking tools to arrange my meetings, I only used it to see who is going to participate. To have a few good meetings I asked my direct linkedin contacts to make an intro to thier contacts.<br />
Our experience is, if you are not well prepared, it will be really hard to get good meetings at Slush.<br />
<br />
<b>Last but not least</b><br />
We miss such an event in Germany. The Finnish guys make the best out of their crisis and they invest a lot into startup business with software and tech background. Chapeau! for this event from my side.<br />

<br />
Its not the first time for us being at the Gamesarena in Poznan. To understand what is the Gamesarena, you can imagine Gamescom, but a bit smaller. And as well a bit more open to indie developer. And this is the charme of the Polish games scene. The quality of games they deliver is very high, but still it is a young industry. And also endusers like the games from indies. Therefore its a perfect place to show game concepts to the audience and receive feedback. Therefore many German indie studios have been again in Poznan. To mention just a few, I met the guys from H<a href="http://happy-tuesday.com/">appy-Tuesday</a>, <a href="http://ratking.de/">Rat King Entertainment</a> and <a href="http://www.megagonindustries.com/">megagon industries</a>.<br />
<br />
As well there is the conference area and it becomes more and more international.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
For us from <a href="http://tailorstage.com/">Tailorstag</a>e it was an interesting conference, as we believe we have closed a deal now, related to indie developers. I hope we can write more details soon.<br />
<br />
And of course we met many people of the Berlin games scene. We realised to have a get together we go to Poland, but indeed we all travel to Poland now for more than two years and we always like the openness of the Polish people and game developers.<br />
<br />
A special thanks to André the <a href="http://indieadvisor.de/">indieadvisor</a> with his full support of our flatrate services. As well I would like to mention Michael Liebe, as his new gaming concept to play in cinemas sounds amazing, http://game-cinema.de/.<br />

<br />
More and more information are popping up that the strong usage of smartphones and tablets by children can seriously harm their health. Thats why we develop the product KAANGOO.club. Because we believe the usage of such devices is positive, but it has to be limited and controlled. Of course not over controlled.<br />
<br />
With our product we want to help to solve this problem. We believe children should play games and use the internet. With our KAANGOO-product we can turn Smartphones and tablets into Kids safe playgrounds.<br />
<br />
More information about the study you can find on the website of a popular South German radio station, SWR3. I was lucky being in the area because of our raod show to media partners to present interesting gaming products.<br />

<br />
The Startupnight event in Berlin.<br />
<br />
Tailorstage was part of the Startupnight 2015. 160 startups has been selected to present themself in four different locations.<br />
<br />
The startup Traxas (traxas.de/) supported us with their animation screens which attracted many people to visit our little booth. Tommy, Asli and Denice reprented our product KAANGOO.club, our safe flatrate service for young kids, and explained visitors how it works. Especially when people understood how we can turn a normal Android smartphone into a data safe kids playground, people were amazed about our product idea.<br />
<br />
we have got some registrations for our product now, and soon we go live.<br />
<br />

<br />
At the end of this weekend, on Saturday the 5th of September, there is the startupnight here in Berlin. Everybody can enter this event for 5 Euro and talk to around 150 startups. We are part of this event and we are happy our product <a href="http://kaangoo.club/">KAANGOO.club</a> improves daily and we can present it to the audience and get direct feedback. We have prepared a questionnaire and we look forward to the live answers from the audience.<br />
<br />
Part of the preparation was also that I have give an interview to the startup website <a href="http://unitednetworker.com/">unitednetworker.com</a>, where it is possible to find an article about our product Tailorstage and KAANGOO.club: <a href="http://unitednetworker.com/tailorstage-spielespass-ohne-versteckte-kosten/">unitednetworker.com/tailorstage-spielespass-ohne-versteckte-kosten/</a><br />

<br />
Druing the Gamescom we were invited to pitch at the Microsoft Accelerator program. So I just got back from the trip to Cologne, where we visited the two game shows Gamescom and Respawn, and I had to pitch to Marius Sewing and Kai Jäger from Microsoft. It was a five minutes pitch through Skype, and then a short Q&A.<br />
<br />
A few days later we really got the answer to be at the final. we prepared ourself well and we presented mainly KAANGOO.club to the audience. There were VC's, other accelerators and of course some Microsoft managers who listened to our pitch. Afterwards we had to answer all their questions and we learnt we can improve some of our messages. At the end we didnt make it to the program.<br />
<br />
But it was a great honor for us to be part of final members. We were able to learn a lot and we wish the winners the best to develop nice products inside this program.<br />

<br />
We had a lot of interesting meetings and it was the first time we presented our new product <a href="http://kaangoo.club/">KAANGOO.club</a>. Its a family friendly app, actually a "secure-kids-games-app-portal", based on a flatrate and available for Android handhelds.<br />
The product is almost ready as a MVP, so we hope to be able to bring <a href="http://kaangoo.club/">KAANGOO.club</a> into the market very soon. Its a product where we want to preserve the worries of parents while their kids are using a mobile device and playing games or being in the internet.<br />

<br />
I was invited to a panel which was moderated by Malte Behrmann. The topic of this panel was: "what comes after mobile OR the fututre of the mobile gaming ecosystem".<br />
<br />
To make this panel as interesting as possible, Malte has invited a number of interesting guys from the gaming industry who have got a lot of experiences.<br />
<br />
From the US Sean Kauppinen and Toshar Makhija and from Europe Erik Robertson and myself.<br />
<br />
At this panel we raised some interesting points, for example the most accessible game console is now the smartphone. And we found out why some companies became so successful in the mobile games industry. And last but not least, we did also discuss the future of games monetisation.<br />
<br />
It's worth listen to the panel: <a href="http://voicerepublic.com/talks/what-comes-after-mobile-the-future-of-the-mobile-gaming-ecosystem">voicerepublic.com/talks/what-comes-after-mobile-the-future-of-the-mobile-gaming-ecosystem</a><br />
