Hello Everyone! Magnus the CEO here again!

Have you tried the MEGATROID Open Beta yet? It will be up until Monday, February 27!

The reason for going there was for me to meet a few companies in the mobile business and Malte mainly went to learn new things about analytics and monetization. We were staying at the Radison Blu Hotel that is attached to the conference center.

Tips and lessons on being the CEO of a startup games company

Hi there! Last week I talked about what I do as a CEO for Triolith Entertainment and I also promised to share my tips and lessons to other people who aspire to become game company CEO’s one day! Let’s get to it!

One thing that I’m trying to change in my leadership style is to try to not bug my developers as much as I used to; often if I find some interesting news I want to tell them right away but this can often come at a bad time as they might have their heads buried in something much more important.

Solution: start writing a weekly email digest of the interesting news you have found and what you have been working on during the week. When I started this my guys loved it!

CEO Magnus Soderberg says: Hello World!

Hello everyone!

Normally when the CEO writes something it’s considered a sign of bad things going on in the company but this is not the case this time!

As I am currently home being sick I thought I could make myself useful by writing a bit about my experiences in being the CEO of a new startup company.

So, who am I? Well my name is Magnus Söderberg, I’m 36 years old and I have for the last couple of years been studying game design with the other guys in the company at the University of Skövde. I started to study game design because I have since I was about 25 years old dreamt of starting my own gaming company (took me a few years to take that step though). So after getting to know the other guys during our education I asked them during our second Game Project in school if they would be interested in starting their own company. Some of them said yes (thank god) and so here we are today; a year and three months in, working in our mobile games company Triolith Entertainment AB!
