Ben C., Founder of VIKER, on Gameloom: “Gameloom has accelerated our concept development and MVP process. We can now validate game concepts before committing valuable development time and resources.

Tony Pearce reposted thisTony Pearce reposted thisThink your game idea is unique, and has no competition? That’s a comfortable thought. It deserves a slightly uncomfortable second look. Your idea might be unusual. But your future players already have games they love. Understanding those games can help you see what players expect, what frustrates them and where your idea could offer something different. The useful question is: why would those players choose your game next? Explore comparable games and find where your idea fits with Gameloom.ai

Tony Pearce reposted thisTony Pearce reposted thisEpic is making a big push to speed up game development with AI. Bloomberg reported on 12 October that its Disney shooter is moving to an AI-first development workflow, with developers overseeing the work. The project has also been delayed as the team changes its approach. Tim Sweeney has described the goal as accelerating development and getting ideas into playtesting sooner. For a team trying to work out whether something is fun, that's an appealing ambition. It also leaves plenty of work for developers: reviewing the output, testing it and deciding what to keep. For smaller studios, research is one manageable place to try AI before committing to a build. Finding games worth learning from can give your team something concrete to discuss about your own idea. SteamDB lists more than 21,000 games released on Steam in 2025. That's a lot to look through. AI can help surface comparable candidates, but check the results yourself before you let them shape a decision. We've put together a guide to choosing comparable games you can defend, with real Steam examples and a reusable AI prompt (Guide link in first comment👇🏻)

Tony Pearce reposted thisTony Pearce reposted this30 years in gaming. Tony Pearce has seen it all; the console wars, the mobile revolution, and every market shift in between. Through it all, one lesson stayed the same: follow the market, stay at the front, and never stop adapting. In the full interview, Tony shares how he got into gaming without being a developer, built and sold a games division, and navigated the shift from console to mobile. He breaks down how app stores and free-to-play changed the rules, why players pay for progress and personalisation, and what developers need to do to stay relevant.

Tony Pearce shared thisFree to play games. So why do players pay? An exclusive skin. A little extra progress. ‘go on its just a fiver’. Small purchases add up and they’ve changed the business of making games. Here’s my story from the music industry into console and mobile gaming and the market shifts I’ve seen along the way. For game developers, there’s a useful lesson: understand what your players value, why they choose to spend, and how your business model needs to adapt as the market changes. Watch my full interview on gameloom.ai new YouTube channel (link in the first comment).

Tony Pearce reposted thisTony Pearce reposted thisFlattery will get you nowhere. John Rankin, CEO of Mode 7, on why he uses Gameloom: “I love that Gameloom doesn’t just tell me my idea is great. It actually challenges me, points out what could go wrong, and backs it up with data. That’s a huge difference from asking ChatGPT or Claude, where you can get a very convincing answer to a very bad idea.” Before you commit months to building, find out where your game idea holds up and where it needs work.

And now, through NVIDIA Inception, we’re ready to supercharge Gameloom. Access to NVIDIA’s technology, expertise and resources will help us deliver intelligence at scale, helping game developers turn ideas into great games.

Tony Pearce liked thisTony Pearce liked thisBack in the day, I used to sing for my supper. While I spent the evenings of my 20s chasing rock’n’roll stardom in the pubs and clubs of the capital, I earned my actual lunch (and dinner) money singing jazz standards in restaurants south of the river, alongside our band’s keyboard player, Phil. Well, the music industry took a light nibble and spat us out, needless to say. I moved into PR & Marketing, but never quite lost my love of singing. As anyone upon whom I've inflicted a karaoke session over the years will confirm… So this is gonna be fun. I’m performing at PR Has Talent! On Tuesday 17th November, I'll be swapping my usual work routine for the stage at London's iconic Soho Theatre I'll be joining 15 other acts from across the PR and communications industry for an evening of comedy, music, spoken word and, I suspect, a few surprises. Better still, it's all for a brilliant cause, with all net proceeds supporting Soho Theatre's New Writing Programme. Thanks to Graham Goodkind and Farzana Baduel for pulling it all together (and to David Hamilton for the tip off!) I'd love to see some friendly faces in the audience. Moral support, enthusiastic applause and a touch of light heckling (within reason) all welcome! Tickets (£30) are selling fast. Grab yours via the link in the first comment!

Tony Pearce liked thisTony Pearce liked this“Nobody’s making this anymore” can sound a lot like “we should”, but I’d want to know why they stopped. A quiet genre is tempting. Fewer rivals, room to stand out, perhaps a favourite experience you’d love to bring back. That’s what I explore in my latest Gameloom blog, using arcade combat racing as the starting point.

Tony Pearce liked thisTony Pearce liked this📣 You don't have to give your first pitch to learn from a pitch night. If you're a female founder who hasn't pitched before, come along on 25th November and see it in action, you'd be really welcome. I'd love to see women in the room who are still finding their feet, as well as those ready to pitch. That goes for male allies too of course ! We are all in this together and helping and supporting others is what Networkd is all about. There will be plenty of time to chat afterwards over drinks and nibbles. You just can't beat meeting someone who 'gets' what you are going through or knows someone who can help you. Watch founders present their businesses, hear the questions the panel asks and get a feel for what pitching involves, without having to take the stage yourself. Our fabulous panel are: Eda Taskin Pauline Li Mat Westergreen-Thorne Cristina Lasagni Jackie Naghten We're at the lovely offices of Tide HQ in London, with doors opening at 6pm and pitches from 6.30pm. It's free to attend, but founders will need to open a Tide business account, whether pitching or watching.(there is a cash back offer on the table, subject to Tide's terms) (Investors don't need to) Please do share 🙏 Tide dealOS Soma Pirityi Agata Leliwa Nowicka Ka Cheng Chan BuildHer Labs Cait Pilkington Maria Clarke Suki Fuller Bridget Greenwood FRSA Jennifer York Scarlett Chorley Amali de Alwis MBE, UAL Honorary Fellow Avril Chester Bindi Karia Jessica Gioglio Zoltan Vass ➇ Brian Sharkey Fraya Brinkman Vasily Alekseenko Mike I Watson Mike Minett Erica Katsambis Elitsa Angelova Eva Dobrzanska Russ Shaw CBE Eva Pascoe Anne Cantelo Patrycja M.
