Onboarding Team

Settling in made easy – our onboarding team is here to help

As an international company, we’re proud to currently employ people from over 50 different nations, and we’re here to help each and every one of them get off to a good start in Hamburg.

Many of them may experience a minor culture shock when they come to Germany. They are also faced with apartment hunting and bureaucratic hurdles which seem impossible to overcome alone, and they slowly start to lose the desire to make a new start in Germany. In order to prevent this, our onboarding team lends a helping hand to the new arrivals from abroad. Of course employees from other parts of Germany receive support as well, particularly in the search for accommodation. We offer our new coworkers an all-around, worry-free package to make their lives easier when arriving in Germany and starting their jobs. “We handle the city registration processes, obtain work permits, help with the apartment hunt, and assist with any individual problems which might come up,” said Daniel, our onboarding manager. The team’s tasks are widespread and begin even before the new employee starts work. These can be anything from dealing with bureaucratic issues, helping with organizing the move, searching for a bank and acquiring insurance, to finding day cares or schools – because there are some people who come here with their whole family too.

Game Development at GGS

Passion is the road to success: how we develop games

Vesko has always been excited about game development. Originally from Bulgaria, he has studied and worked in places such as Gothenburg and Munich.

Vesko currently works with us here in Hamburg as a Junior Client Developer for Empire: Four Kingdoms, the first mobile game from Goodgame Studios. He constructs the game’s user interfaces and how they are displayed on the smartphone screen. This job is especially exciting since our games are always being updated and regularly outfitted with new features which we release almost every week. We can kill two birds with one stone using these fast development cycles: the gamers are happy since the game remains new and different, and the developers can reap the rewards of their hard work often and in real time.

The Story of the Horse in the Living Room

The Story of the Horse in the Living Room

If you want to be successful in the games industry, you don’t just need a very good game and a loyal fan base.

The right marketing strategy is just as important. That’s the reason we don’t just focus on online marketing – TV advertising is also incredibly important in convincing new players to play our games. We’ve recently begun to delight international TV audiences with a new Goodgame Empire commercial. The filming was supervised by our TV Team, which is part of our in-house conversion department. Anton, our TV Creative Lead, explains why for the first time, we have opted for a real life spot, i.e. a commercial with real people, instead of just with animated graphics: “With our new TV campaign we want to consciously differentiate ourselves from the competition. We want to reach as broad a target audience as possible, that’s why commercials in general are our benchmark. We are certain that with this high-quality spot, which is unique in Germany for this genre, we will be able to make even more players enthusiastic about Goodgame Empire.

Not Child’s Play: Game Development à la Goodgame Studios

What does “multi-platform” really mean, and why do we love Adobe Flash so much?

For non-game developers, the production process for a new game can raise a lot of questions, and even those acquainted with game development can sometimes wonder why we choose one approach over another. So here is a brief insight into our game development.

Our current focus is on mobile games. Even non-specialist technophobes will have realized by now that they will have a hard time avoiding this trend. Goodgame Studios are among the front runners in this area – this is clear from the success of our first app Empire: Four Kingdoms, which for months has been among the top ten highest-grossing games in many countries. Our new game Shadow Kings was developed for mobile devices first, and then adapted for browsers later. Thanks to this multi-platform development, Shadow Kings is available to play on your smartphone or computer. In the future we will continue to optimize our games first and foremost for mobile devices.
