Bongfish took over the F2P mobile game Smurfs' Village in 2016. At that time the game was already on the market for 6 years and had a decent player base. It was a risky adventure to take over such a big title, to move the back-end, start working on a huge unknown and messy code base and to learn about development cycles at the same time. After managing the take over from the technical side we had a lot of questions: Who are our players? How to turn a F2P game into cash? What are live-operations? What kind of development team do we need and what are the roles? What do players want? In which direction should the game head in the future? The talk will give a short overview about how we survived and what we’ve learned so far. Daniela Hauswirth is currently in charge of the development team at Bongfish for the popular mobile game "Smurfs' Village".
