Building things that have never been built before is our core in the business and culture. 🚀 👉 Lauri Lehtonen our Lead Game Developer, knows all about this. 🌟 His journey at Valo Motion started in 2017 as employee number eight and the first Game Developer ever on our team. From the outset, Lauri was tasked with leading the development of ValoJump, an interactive trampoline game platform. 💬 "I was tasked to envision what this product would look like in an activity park and commercial context. ValoJump development project also became my thesis work." This project was groundbreaking, combining exercise with gaming in a way that had never been done before. 🏃‍♂️🎮 🦸 Fun fact: While developing the game, one of Lauri’s most significant inspirations was to empower people to feel like they have superpowers. By exaggerating the jump height in the game world, players could experience the thrill of soaring into the sky! This kind of curious, innovative, and ingenious DIY mindset is what all of our team members share. 🤩 💬 "I like that I get to explore things that have not existed before in the game industry.” We've done our best to create an environment that encourages our team to innovate without constraints, ensuring that we stay at the forefront of the industry. 💬 “Our culture is very open and trusting at Valo Motion. I can explore my ideas freely, which is a big plus for me. I enjoy thinking of new, creative things outside the box.” 🔗 Go dig deeper and read Lauri's full story here: https://hubs.ly/Q02LcW-d0 #Innovation #GameDevelopment #ValoMotion #MoveTheFuture

A few weeks ago I hit two years as an engineering leader at Clockwise. An exciting milestone and quite the journey so far at an awesome place to work full of talented, focused people. A buddy jokingly asked me "so have you learned anything?" and instead of being annoying only to her I thought I'd annoy people here instead. So, here are some things I've learned or leveled up in during that time: * Write shit down. If you don't write it down, there's no plan. If you don't have a plan, there's no accountability. If there's no accountability, how do you expect to get shit done? * Whenever you've got a problem to solve, figure out the smallest thing you could do today to start fixing it. Then do it today. Get some momentum. More will follow. * Communicate change widely and often. Sending a single Slack message or email is never enough. And if you expect it to be, you're wrong. Share it in broad channels first, then bring it up in larger meetings, then individual meetings, then occasional message reminders, if need be. And if people forget, remind them, don't scold them. (This is a version of writing shit down.) * Someone smarter than me said "you don’t rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your systems.” Yeah. That. Set up systems and follow them and change them if they suck. (See: Write shit down.) * If your goal is to go faster, stop doing shit that makes you go slower. Easier said than done, but sometimes asking folks "what's the hardest part of your job right now?" gets you the answer about what's slowing people down. Then it's your job to help fix it. * Make sure people know what success means. Success in a large project, in a simple task, in their job, in everything. If you aren't letting folks know what the target is, how do they know if they hit it? (Also, if you don't have this written down, how is anyone expected to remember?) * Write shit down. Did I mention that? Make sure you write shit down. That's more than enough from me. What are some things you've learned in the past few years? (Did you like how I did that engagement bait? Isn't that neat? Let's see if it works.)

Are Our Power Grids Ready for Renewables? With renewables and electrification, short-term, high-capacity peaks are replacing traditional steady energy use. This creates bottlenecks in the grid, with too much or too little energy available both locally and nationally. In Sweden, homeowners can opt in to support the grid and get paid, in Netherlands, some energy companies have tried charging customers for feeding in energy during peak times, and in Australia, households must allow grid operators to limit their energy production when necessary without compensation. The latter idea is something that is also now being discussed in Germany. At Svea Solar, we're committed to tackling grid challenges, but regulations play a key role. Do you believe incentives, penalties, or mandatory production limits from grid owners is the way forward? Or is there another way to encourage this transformation? I'd love to hear your thoughts! PS. If you want to join our mission to eliminate fossil fuels we’re also growing! Currently we are looking for Engineering Managers and Developers to help drive our journey forward. https://lnkd.in/dbU_7qBS

Creating a Watchface, now also for Garmin! https://lnkd.in/du-T6qAG Hi, everyone! Facemaker videos are back, this time to showcase the newcomer, Garmin! Before you ask, wearOS is not forgotten, but the choice I made for the implementation of wearOS wasn't the best. I could have used the same approach I used for Garmin, because the implementation would have been so much easier. Fortunately, the Garmin implementation has showed me the right way to do it, so expect good news very soon regarding wearOS. In the meanwhile, Garmin is here and it'll be included in the Facemaker store first. Please see the list of supported Garmin devices down below. Only devices that support the API level 5.0.0 with AMOLED screen were implemented. These are the currently supported watches: Garmin (available only on the Professional edition): - Approach S70 (47mm) - Approach S70 (42mm) - D2 Mach 1 (47mm) - D2 Mach 1 Pro (47mm) - Epix (Gen 2) (47mm) - Epix (Gen 2) (42mm) - Epix 2 Pro (51mm) - Quatix 7 Sapphire (47mm) - Forerunner 165 - Forerunner 265 - Forerunner 265s - Forerunner 965 - MARQ Athlete 2 - MARQ Aviator 2 - Venu 2 - Venu 2 Plus - Venu 2s - Venu 3 - Venu 3s - VivoActive 5 Amazfit: - GTR 47mm - GTR 42mm - GTR2 - GTR2e - GTR3 - GTR3 Pro - GTR3 Pro Limited Edition - GTR4 - GTR Mini - GTS - GTS2 - GTS2 Mini - GTS3 - GTS4 - T-Rex - T-Rex Pro - T-Rex 2 - T-Rex Ultra - Falcon - Balance - Cheetah - Cheetah Pro - Cheetah Square - Verge Lite - Zepp Z - Band 7 - Edge - Active - Bip U - Bip 5 Huawei: - GT 46mm - GT 42mm - GT2 46mm - GT2 42mm - GT2e - GT2 Pro - GT3 46mm - GT3 42mm - GT3 Pro - GT3 Ultimate - GT3 SE - GT4 - Watch Buds - GT Runner - Fit - Fit Special Edition - Fit 2 - Fit 3 - Watch 3 - Watch 3 Pro - Watch 4 - Watch 4 Pro - Watch Kids 4 - Talkband B6 - Band 4 - Band 4 Pro - Band 6 - Band 7 - Band 8 - Band 9 Honor: - Honor Magic Watch - Honor Magic Watch 2 46mm - Honor Magic Watch 2 42mm - Honor GS Pro - Honor GS 3 (no way to install custom watch faces yet) - Honor ES - Honor Band 5 - Honor Band 6 Full Android watches All should work, but these have images on FM: KingWear: - KW88 Pro Kospet: - Optimus Pro - Prime 4G - Prime 2 - Note Lemfo: - LEM10 - LEM12 - LEM T Lokmat: - LOK02 Rollme: - S08 - Hero Zeblaze: - Thor 5 Pro - Thor 6 Pro OEM - DM20C - Z18 - Z30 - JD01 wear OS: - all wear OS 2.0 and later watches (soon) Supported operating systems: Windows 7/8/10/11, Linux.

We have just completed a *transformative* 6 months with the SoundTech Accelerator. Across 3 intensive and disruptive camps, our assumptions were challenged, we were stretched and reshaped, and equipped with tools for success. My 3 biggest learnings: 1) Market research is not a one time task ✍ Continuously speak to your existing and potential customers about each new concept or feature - you've only learnt enough when you can guess what they will say next. 2) Maximise the 'work not done' 🚀 There is always more that needs doing than capacity allows, so prioritise ruthlessly, align regularly, put efficiency above perfection, outsource where you can, and get your work in front of customers as early as possible. 3) Zoom out 🗺 You can't steer a ship from the engine room - you might move faster but you'll end up off course. You have to go above deck often, look around and adjust. Same with a business - protect regular time to step back, review the strategy, and make changes. Excited to apply these lessons and the momentum we've gained from the SoundTech Accelerator!

Svenska Spel has decided to start reporting on the health of the group’s revenues, that is, what proportion of the revenues comes from customers with a lower risk of gambling problems. Svenska Spel’s reporting is based on the risk models in the company’s gambling analytics tool, Playscan, which have been developed in collaboration with Sustainable Interaction. – Reporting healthy (and unhealthy) revenues is an important step for the industry to become more transparent. We will see a great diversity in the figures presented by different companies due to the fact that they define and measure healthy revenues in different ways. Nevertheless, it adds information to the debate around regulation, says Jakob Jonsson, PhD and clinical psychologist at Sustainable Interaction. The first report will be released at the end of August. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/dzhgRFRE

How many different accounts did you use to play online in the last 90 days? It took me a few seconds to understand the "0" in the statistics from Spelinspektionen. I remember that Ulrik Bengtsson always used to say that the average player had 4 accounts ( I learnt a lot from those presentations) back in 2014. I'm not sure its the exact same metric, because it might not have been active accounts. Are the pay and play casinos equally popular in other markets? I would love it if some one could share some data #paynplay #onlinecasino #playeraccounts

I'm excited share our new product: Creating reports (& managing projects)  💫 This has been developed together with an amazing customer of ours Tusenfryd AS and Silje Myrseth thank you so much for the input 🙏 What we've built is pretty powerful - not only does the tool allow you to keep your operations running effectively and to report anything like daily results, broken equipment, or personal injuries. The product allows you to: a) Decide who can report what b) Make flexible reports based on role & locaiton c) Project manage reports after (comments, project status, assign new people) d) Document anything with images related to exact questions (e.g. document that you cleaned the space, document what is broken) The product has already been well-received and we can't wait for more All Gravy companies to ease their operations with this 🔑 P.s. I realise I look like a maniac when typing - I won't allow my vanity to have me re-shoot it 😂
