In the dynamic landscape of mobile gaming, success relies on the collaborative efforts of diverse experts, a strong product strategy, and a data-powered approach.

The data team plays a crucial role in Homa’s success. Composed by over 20 data engineers, data analysts, and data scientists, the team has a wide scope, influencing various areas of the organization. They are dedicated to advancing our data capabilities and empowering our data platform -Homa Lab-, crafting ML-driven products, and providing comprehensive analytics to steer our game portfolio’s direction.

The Vital Role of Game Data Analysts at Homa

In this article, we will focus on the vital role of Game Data Analysts and their influence and impact on working closely with Game Development Squads. At Homa, these squads are composed of Publishing Managers, Creative Managers, Growth Managers, and Game Developers, often from external studios, working together to guide each game to success.

Thanks to a sophisticated, reliable, and scalable data architecture, Game Data Analysts at Homa are perfectly positioned to focus on delivering valuable and data-driven insights to the Game Squad. This setup eliminates the need for these specialists to engage in time-consuming data extraction and manipulation, thereby accelerating the decision-making process.

Leveraging detailed player behavior data alongside deep industry insights, our analysts are instrumental in optimizing game dynamics. They provide strategic recommendations that influence game economy, difficulty levels, and monetization tactics. In addition, during critical phases of iterative development and refinement, they conduct and analyze A/B tests to ensure that all adjustments lead to meaningful improvements and align with the game's strategic objectives and player expectations.

Some of the recent achievements from this data-centered approach include the successful re-work of the difficulty balancing on Hole and Fill, resulting in a 9% LTV uplift; or the definition of the evolution of Ad pressure in various games, including Weapon Master, achieving up to 20% LTV uplift.
