Do you know what a ground squirrel is? Ground squirrels are cute rodents from the squirrel family found in North America, Eurasia, and Austria. This peaceful little guy loves the mountains, enjoys a predominantly vegetarian diet, and is unfortunately an endangered species. However, today’s blog is about another type of squirrel.
THIS Squirrel (known as “Ziesel” in German):
Whether private, professional, or both – computers are an integral part of most of our daily lives. The most important thing is that the technology actually works the way we want it to – otherwise we would live in a constant state of frustration, like when a device runs too slowly.
Fortunately, there’s a remedy: in the first part of our tip series, we explained the quick and easy steps you can take to see initial improvements. Perhaps you’ve already tried some of the tricks, and now you only have a few important programs left in your auto-start, you only have programs installed that you actually use, your hard drive is clean and has no more unnecessary files, and you’ve defragmented them as well.
But if you’re still not satisfied with the speed of your computer, let’s get started with round two! And if you don’t make any progress despite your best efforts, you can use special programs to discover where the source of the lag might lie, or you can google different solutions – that’s what our experienced IT staff often do when faced with unusual issues.

Slow computers can be very annoying. We all know what it feels like to be excited to play a new game, and only a few seconds later, you want to smash the keyboard into pieces! Maybe the game takes forever to load or the screen constantly freezes or lags – either way, the game is unplayable.
Even at work, where our most essential tools are our PCs, slow systems have no doubt led to several angry outbursts. Our technical requirements as game developers can be quite demanding since creating graphics, programming, etc. always requires the highest performance devices available. And this doesn’t just apply to us. Slow performance can quickly decrease efficiency and frustrate employees in other fields as well.
If you aren’t fortunate enough to have your own IT department to rely on for problems like these, we’ve collected a few tips on how to make your computer fast again. Unfortunately, the standard solution of “Have you tried turning it off and on again?” usually doesn’t work for these issues. Since there are many different and specific reasons for a slow computer, our tips for Windows PCs should serve as guidelines at best. In the first installment, we’ll give you the free and easy solutions. In the second installment (coming soon), we’ll get down to the nitty-gritty details. Read more
Our titles Goodgame Empire, Legends of Honor, and Goodgame Big Farm have helped us make a name for ourselves, especially in the strategy and simulation games genres. Nevertheless, there are still plenty of exciting genres where we’d like to carve a place for ourselves in the future and provide top notch entertainment to players around the world. What better way than by trying our hand at role-playing games (RPGs)? It is one of the most popular genres, after all.
It takes more than just good games to reach over 300 million players around the globe; it also takes talented marketing professionals. They’re the ones who make sure people all over the world hear about our digital entertainment, so of course, online marketing is very important to us. One specialized and comparatively young discipline in this area is Real Time Advertising, which focuses on user-oriented purchasing of online advertisements in real time.
Being skilled at multi-tasking can often be the key to success. That won’t come as a surprise for those of you who work in a gaming company or another industry with a dynamic start-up mentality. Some of the most talented task-jugglers at Goodgame are our colleagues in the event team. The foursome coordinate and organize a huge range of events that make a crucial contribution to our team and company culture. As part of the communications department, they’re closely involved in keeping our employees informed and making them feel part of the company. The main objective is to offer all Goodgamers interactive platforms for exchange which complement other communication channels like our internal newsletter. We want to create a dialog between Goodgamers and the management, and of course to have discussion among Goodgamers as well. The team is also responsible for events held externally and with guests, and they help take care of the company’s public image. For this blog entry, we’ll summarize the key aspects of Goodgame’s events strategy and give you some details about the event team’s tasks.
