Clash Royale celebrates 10 years of its creators

Taking a project to the top of success is not an easy task. Competition and challenges are many in each of the industries. The video game environment is one of the most difficult to make a place for yourself. Ten years ago a firm was born that would be, and is, one of the most important in the complex field of mobile phone games.
Ilkka Paananen was a young man in his thirties when he founded Supercell. The Finland-based company with a presence in the United States, China and South Korea is responsible for the successes of millions of fans and huge profits. Their titles are: Hay Day, Clash of Clans, Boom Beach, Clash Royale and Brawl Stars.
On the occasion of Supercell's ten years, important news about Clash Royale arrives as new free content is added to the popular multiplayer strategy game. In addition, the company published an extensive report signed by Paananen in which it provides details of what it has learned during the journey of the last 10 years.

A strong corporate culture

News about Clash Royale is always important to the millions of users of the game based on the characters from the popular Clash of Clans. So these days it is relevant to find out who is behind successes like these or titles like Brawl Stars or Boom Beach.
For his 10th birthday, in addition to adding free rewards in all his games, Supercell communicated through his official website what were the lessons they learned during his work to this day.
The CEO of the firm, Ilkka Paananen, highlighted in the report that it is he who signs the words but that the content was built from asking different Supercell members what they had learned to date.
It is interesting to review the lessons that the Finnish study shares to understand the work mechanism and culture within such an important company.
At the beginning, the young businessman says that the companies that inspired Supercell were Blizzard, Nintendo and Pixar. That admiration is a product of the achievements of these firms, which were not only successful entertainment products, but also endured over time.
After making this statement, Paananen details that the lessons he will share are the result of a consultation with different members of the company and that, although they have worked for them, there are no magic recipes to create a successful firm. That the measures taken by Supercell may work for them but it will not be the same for another company. Although the Finn decides to spread what he calls the “Supercell culture”, each studio must create its own way of acting and behaving.

The lessons of the tenth anniversary

The eleven teachings that the Supercell team decides to share on its official site in the article published on May 14, 2020 are:

1. Always play the infinite game.
2. Great teams make great games. Great people don't necessarily make a great team.
