About The Company
Thoughtfish develops games and gamified apps for smart devices, both in our own productions and in commissioned works. We offer expert advice at all stages, from concept to gamification mechanisms to monetization approaches. We calibrate our graphic design, user experience settings, and UIs from a holistic, user-centric perspective.
We are adept at integrating LBS and Context-Sensitive Services into our products. Our technology allows us to know a user's context: for example, if he or she is sitting in the rain in a playground, or trudging through snowy sidewalks, perhaps in search of a warm drink at a cafe. This knowledge is not limited to just time, place or weather: we continually gather new data sources and adjust the ongoing responsiveness of an app to the user's context.

Thoughtfish entwickelt Spiele und gamifizierte Apps für smarte Devices; in eigenen Produktionen wie auch Auftragsarbeiten. Wir beraten vom Konzept, über Gamificationmechanismen bis hin zu Monetarisierungsansätzen. Wir übernehmen die grafische Gestaltung, User Experience und Interface Design bis hin zur Umsetzung und Vertonung die komplette Erstellung ihrer App.
Wir sind stark darin, Location Based & Context Sensitive Services mit einzubinden. Denn unsere Technologie weiß, in welchem Kontext sich der User aufhält. Wir wissen, ob er bei Regen auf einem Spielplatz sitzt oder sich bei Schnee durch die Fußgängerzone schlägt und wahrscheinlich einen Kaffee trinken möchte. Dieses Wissen beschränkt sich nicht nur auf Zeit, Ort und Wetter. Wir können verschiedenste Datenquellen kumulieren und die Reaktion der App auf den Kontext des Users anpassen.
