Member Article Friends Quest, the latest the company’s release for Snapchat, is a real-time competitive multi-player platform game where the player needs to pass a series of levels full of dangers and mysteries. Friends Quest is the third title Gismart released on Snapchat as a part of a multi-game partnership agreement signed earlier this year. Released on the 10th of September, over 4.8 million players have already played Friends Quest globally on Snapchat. Together with previous game releases, Color Galaxy and Crazy Run, Gismart games generated nearly ninety million players, with the fourth title in development. Friends Quest was developed using Snaps Play Canvas, a web-first 3D game engine where developers can build HTML 5 games collaboratively. “We view social platform games as a sustainable growing business for Gismart. With Snapchat, the chances of releasing a hit game are higher than in a hyper casual world today. For instance, Color Galaxy, our first title on Snapchat, is comparable with successful hyper-casual games both in terms of the number of players and the profit received. The game is still one of the most popular on the platform and continues to generate profit” said Lana Meisak, VP Business Development and Marketing at…

"Recent revelations about harm to kids online show that Big Tech is facing its Big Tobacco moment — a moment of reckoning," said Senator Richard Blumenthal, who chairs the Senate Commerce consumer protection subcommittee holding the hearing. "We need to understand the impact of popular platforms like Snapchat, TikTok, and YouTube on children and what companies can do better to keep them safe." Senator Marcia Blackburn, the top Republican on the subcommittee, said, "TikTok, Snapchat, and YouTube all play a leading role in exposing children to harmful content." A Snap spokeswoman said the company looks forward to discussing their "approach to protecting the safety, privacy and wellbeing of our Snapchat community." TikTok and YouTube both confirmed they would take part. Earlier this month, the panel held a hearing with Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen, who turned over thousands of documents she said showed the company had…

The owner of photo messaging app Snapchat first became popular with young users for its early forms of augmented reality (AR), such as photo filters that could superimpose dog ears onto a person’s photo, or add a dancing hot dog to a video. Snap has since staked its future on advancing the technology, launching AR-enabled eyewear and acquiring startups that develop technology to allow users to virtually try on clothing. The new studio, Arcadia, will help brands build AR experiences not just for Snapchat, but any other social media apps or websites where it wants to place content, said Jeff Miller, global head of creative strategy at Snap. “The goal is to push the boundaries of what’s possible in…
