In the Battle Royale genre, setting up your game’s ByteBrew implementation to analyze and optimize the following questions will instantly start you on the right path for success:
How users are progressing through your game?
Where your users are churning?
Which game items and events your users engage with throughout their lifespan?
How are your users monetizing?
Where can you improve your monetization strategy?
What are your users enjoying?
What should you update to improve their experience?
See the implementation best practices below for what to implement when setting up your game with ByteBrew
Custom Events
Custom Events in ByteBrew enable you to deep dive across all of our extensive analytics dashboards. On ByteBrew, we built custom events to unlock unseen insights into your games with our unique event structure.
Custom Event Structure
Custom Events on ByteBrew allow for an unlimited number of key, value sub-parameters under the custom event. For example, you can have an event called “AdWatch” that has a subparameter under the event named “Networks” and the values of that Networks subparameter could be “Applovin, Unity, Google, etc.”. To illustrate our custom event structure visually, see the following diagram.
