Whenever requested to pick our player to explore the universe of portable game turn of events, our most memorable pick would be sequential business person Marija Ilić. Marija has been an energetic gamer since playing on her family's Commodore 64 while experiencing childhood in Serbia. With nearly 10 years of involvement with the gaming business and north of 12 years in projecting the board and IT, Marija knows how to form a thought into an effective eventual outcome. In any case, five years subsequent to sending off and fabricating a fruitful programming startup, Marija and co-founder Vojislav Milutinović understood their heart wasn't in it. So in 2010 they returned to even out one to send off Two Desperados, their Belgrade-based computer games advancement studio. "My essential objective in those days was to make a computer game and get into the business I was dreaming about," Marjia said. "Making an objective out of a youth dream right now sounds practically guileless, however that's all there was to it."

Two Desperados' most memorable contributions, Woka, far surpassed their assumptions by rapidly becoming one of the top marble shooting match-ups in Europe with north of 30 million players around the world. Their subsequent game, Viola's Quest, offered a more raised encounter and many degrees of marble arcade games. As Two Desperados developed quickly, Marija and her group expected to extend to match their development. Marija was beforehand a functioning tutor in the Google Launchpad Start occasion in Serbia which was a five-day bootcamp intended for beginning phase new businesses that poor person yet accomplished item market-fit so she realized her sprouting startup could profit from the customized Google backing and item skill. Marija got back to Google for Startups Campus Warsaw for their Mobile Accelerator, a six-month program furnishing new companies with one-on-one mentorship, studios, and Google item support.

The Accelerator program started off with a concentrated bootcamp. "Bootcamp week was loaded with incredible studios," recalled Marija. "My number one and the most valuable ones were about authority and client research." Marija especially profited from the mentorship of long-lasting Googler Lucero Tagle, who spends significant time in working with development stage new businesses to unicorns on their "kin challenges". Lucero and Marija discussed business advancement and administration in many structures. Marija and her group additionally profited from conversations on client experience, which is considerably more critical for Marija's startup than most. The best way to consummate the client experience was to find solutions straightforwardly from the client and figure out their viewpoints and sentiments on the item. The Two Desperados group likewise figured out how to incorporate Objective Key Results (OKRs) from the program, an objective setting action utilized widely by Google, that helped them characterize short and long haul objectives. Marija says the presentation of OKRs has given them better and more incessant benchmarks of achievement and more keen center with regards to deciding. Today, they have more than 60 representatives and three games in their list accessible around the world on all versatile play stores.

The Two Desperados group is additionally involving Google's Firebase as one of their center apparatuses. They influence Firebase Analytics to acquire experiences into their players' ways of behaving to use as the reason for following their Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). By understanding their players are cooperating with the game, Marija and her group can settle on additional educated choices on promoting and execution. Firebase Remote Config joined with the AB Testing choice enables the studio to alter and change games from a distance, continually further developing the player experience. To balance everything, Two Desperados utilizes Firebase Push Notifications to tell players of likely updates and Firebase Crashlytics to give them knowledge of clients' concerns, possible accidents, and other non-lethal blunders in their games to continuously remain on the ball.

Two Desperados multiplied in size in 2019, multiplied again in 2020, and are as yet developing further. However, the measurement Marija is most pleased with is that close to half of the staff and a greater part of the initiative group at the studio are ladies. This isn't on the grounds that Marija is focused on orientation fairness; it's additionally the most effective way to construct items for her main interest group. "The games we make are played generally by ladies, and to me it is vital to have the two perspectives," said Marija. "I trust that increasingly gaming organizations will follow our model and perceive orientation equality as one of the vital subjects." But regardless of the number of identifications she procures — boss item official, guide, good example — Marija generally considers herself an organizer first. "There are issues you'd never see as a worker however you see regularly as a pioneer - in the innovation, in individuals, the executives, or even with clients," Marija says. "You never have less work. It's in every case more work, however the obligation and stakes are higher. My days are rarely something very similar however I wouldn't exchange it for whatever else."
