The game does not have a reset mechanic, reducing player frustration and dropout rates. Office Cat features a secondary loop with a factory and production puzzles, a rich index to increase 'rich cat' status, and various management mechanics. The game has cleverly placed ads, including a rewarded ad for offline earnings, a lucky wheel, and a legendary chairman offer. The ad revenue from Office Cat is estimated to be around 30% of the total revenue. Office Cats generates the majority of its revenue from in-app purchases (IAP) rather than ads. The team experiments with different ways to promote the permanent ad removal option, offering it at a discount for a limited time. Users who purchase the ad removal option are more likely to make additional purchases in the game. The game has a small UA team and produces a variety of creatives, including playables and videos, with no set schedule. The retention rate for Office Cats is 35% on day 1 and 5% on day 30. --------------------------------------- Please share the podcast with your industry friends, dogs & cats. Especially cats!

Father’s Day • Spend some time in prayer for your family. • Consider your relationships both past and present with family. Read Luke 15:20-24 • Pay attention to what the son has to say to the father. • What role does fear, shame, and guilt play in the son’s words? • How do the words of the prodigal son connect with us today? The son returns confessing his sin and disgrace. He could not survive apart from his father’s house. He sees himself as unworthy. • How does the father respond to the words of the son? • Consider how the fear, shame, and guilt of the son is overcome by the love, peace, and joy of the father. • How can we exhibit the same love, peace, and joy the father gives his son today? This parable causes the Pharisees to ridicule Jesus. The world stands opposed to the love, peace, and joy found in Christ. • For believers, what are the consequences of claiming faith while acting in a manner that does not demonstrate the Kingdom of God? • God knows our hearts. He knows our motives. He knows the darkness in us. Yet His compassion and love are without limit. • Reflect on how the love of God is exhibited in you and your family.
