Eight Years of Super Animal Royale: Lessons From Indie Live Service
10:30 PM | Michael Silverwood, Founder/CEO, Pixile Studios

In 2017, Super Animal Royale was a prototype built by two developers. Since launching in Early Access in 2018, it has reached 13+ million players across Steam, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox, with full crossplay and a major v2.0 expansion, Super Animal World. In this talk, Michael Silverwood (Pixile Studios) shares the behind-the-scenes realities of sustaining an indie multiplayer live service over the long haul: shipping updates reliably across platforms, designing for compounding value instead of one-off content, making hard trade-offs between modes, queues, and regions, and building community trust without burning out a small team. Attendees will leave with practical strategies to survive and thrive in the live-service space without AAA resources.

I’m giving a short talk in SF during GDC, Tuesday night, March 10 (free event): meetu.ps/e/PQpxv/2FF8...

I actually showed Super Animal Royale’s beta at this very meetup back in 2018 before Early Access, so it feels pretty special to return after so many years!

Yeah I have that too.
I initially thought it was the sonarcube addon since that one is pretty performance heavy but even without it it's so slow sometimes.

Super Animal Royale is now 7 years old! πŸ’œ

Seeing everyone jump into Super Animal World this week has been surreal. Seriously, thank you for sticking with us and helping us grow this world with you. We can’t wait to keep building on it together.
