Twas the night before halloween

when all through our place

many a creature was stirring

hatching a strange face

stockings worn high 

and much blood to scare,

with the witching hour 

soon to be there.

And it was… fun!

Happy Halloween Me Girls!

Teen Vogue represents a multi-platform millennial generation, and gaming is a medium we have had our eye on for a few years now.  The growing trend of young female gamers is exploding, especially on mobile devices, and the timing was finally right for us to expand into the space” says Teen Vogue Editor-In-Chief, Amy Astley. “Since our audience is also incredibly career focused, we wanted our game to have elements of fashion and career, and this game encompasses both. Teen Vogue’s audience is extremely mobile-savvy, always on their smartphones and tablets so we wanted a way to reach them on a new and exciting media platform with a product that is fun and true to our brand.

Given the rise of Social Casino games over the past year it seems somewhat appropriate that the Social Gaming Asia Summit is being held later today in the worldwide nexus for gambling, Macau.

Today I'll be joining a panel on keys to success on Mobile, together with Eric Tan, Gameloft's head of China as well as Frank Yu, CEO of Kwestr.

Other speakers include Japanese gaming expert Dr Serkan Toto talking on the differences between social gaming in the East and West, and Wang Yong, CEO of DeNA China talking about exporting Japanese models to other countries.

If you're coming along, do say hi!

Welcome Christina, Frenzoo's new Creative Director

We're thrilled to welcome Christina, our new Creative Director!

She's new to the team but not new to Frenzoo - originally she was a player and UGC fashion designer on Frenzoo.com, our web 3d world, and kept up as we made the transition into our Me Girl™ mobile games.

She'll be leading all things design and creative - from UX, game design and art style through to Me Girl™ vision and branding.

We sat down for a mini Q&A on her first day:

What are you most looking forward to in the new role?

Creating Fun! Learning and discovering what surprises and delights our players.  And then working on game flow to make it a reality. 

Where do you get your inspiration from?

In general, the world and people.

We live in such a dynamic and amazing world with so many different cultures and beliefs which are all so fascinating - I am inspired by those who dare to be different, those who dare to shine, those who fight for what they believe in and from those who pull through all challenges.

I am also inspired by people who I do volunteer work with and the people we work with, there is a wealth to be learned from those who battle through so many odds. 

So why move from the fashion industry to gaming?

I love the fashion industry but at my heart I'm a creator and love technology - so the move feels like a good challenge and and my creativity can be utilized well in this industry! 

What games have had the most impact on you over the years?

Wow, it all started with the The Sims, then The Sims online which was my first step into MMO's.

The biggest game that has impacted me is definitely when Star Wars Galaxies launched, which kicked off a period in my gaming life that I truly cherish.

Then Second Life and later I discovered Frenzoo.com and then Style Me Girl which allowed for my inner fashionista to be unleashed.  I play a lot of games and others I've loved include Mall World, Puzzle Pirates, Words With Friends and most recently Stardom.

What fashion brands do you admire most?

Fashion loves include Maison Martin Margiela, Alaia, Viktor and Rolf, Comme de Garcon, Barbara Bui, Vivienne Westwood, CK Calvin Klein and Armani Exchange.

But for my day to day, I love mixing and matching quirky items with everyday looks, feminine with the edgy, casual with the elevated. 

A quote to live by?

"History will be kind to me for I intend to write it."

Thanks Christina and welcome!

Amazon's Appstore progress - Frenzoo in VentureBeat article

The folks at VentureBeat just wrote a post on Amazon's progress with their appstore, and how monetization and growth have developed with original launch last year - particularly with the introduction of IAP.

We were happy to be included in the discussion :

“Our apps monetize 50 percent better than they do on other platforms we’re on, in turn, helping us scale our business quickly,” said Simon Newstead, the CEO & Co-Founder of Frenzoo.  Frenzoo publishes Style Me Girl, which is available for both Android and iOS. TinyCo, which makes games such as Tiny Monsters, Tiny Village, and Tiny Pets (sensing a pattern here?) also said that monetization on Amazon was better than “any other platform.”

It's really a viable platform well suited to our target market, which of course is women and girls who love lifestyle content. The platform I believe has done well because of the tight linkage between users, hardware and content ecosystem.

And now like everyone we're looking forward to the new product announcements coming on September 6th.

If you love mobile technology it's an exciting next few weeks.
