(7:42:49 AM) camenker: Hey there Keripo, got a second?
(7:43:08 AM) DarkKeripo: hi, who is this>
(7:43:23 AM) camenker: My name is Benjamin, and I'm from Scoreloop.
(7:43:31 AM) DarkKeripo: ahh, cool
(7:43:35 AM) camenker: I read a post of yours and the android forums - sent ya a PM
(7:43:39 AM) DarkKeripo: I can talk for a bit, yes
(7:44:11 AM) camenker: Sweet
(7:44:23 AM) camenker: I was wanted to talk about Beats
(7:44:30 AM) camenker: (Big bemani fan myself)
(7:44:42 AM) DarkKeripo: cool ; )
(7:44:50 AM) camenker: You seemed to be on the fence regarding Scoreloop and Open Feint, so I wanted to see if I could do anything to help.
(7:45:06 AM) camenker: (Short of submitting my own personal stepfiles)
(7:45:11 AM) camenker: : P
(7:45:18 AM) DarkKeripo: yes, I am in a sense
(7:45:40 AM) DarkKeripo: there's two major factors that will affect my decision
(7:46:26 AM) DarkKeripo: one is ease of integration code-wise and the future of new feature (for Scoreloop - of course its understandable that not everything is implemented on your side yet)
(7:47:18 AM) DarkKeripo: the second is the size of the target audience. From what I've read in my research, Open Feint is running on a much larger capital (via Intel's investment) and holds a relatively larger portion of the market on the iPhone platform
(7:47:29 AM) DarkKeripo: however, Scoreloop entered the Android platform earlier
(7:47:54 AM) camenker: Indeed.
(7:48:30 AM) camenker: We saw the future increase in droid sales way before it happened.
(7:49:00 AM) DarkKeripo: of course you do not need to share details of your company, but I'm wondering really on how expansive Scoreloop right now is in Android apps and what you realistically predict will be the influence in the future
(7:49:13 AM) DarkKeripo: based on what you're seeing now
(7:49:38 AM) camenker: Well, we've got some super-secret stuff coming up soon.
(7:49:46 AM) camenker: but as far as numbers I'm allowed to give out RIGHT NOW,
(7:50:10 AM) camenker: I believe we've already given the green-light to releasing that we get over 100k new users each day
(7:50:33 AM) DarkKeripo: 100k new registered users?
(7:50:55 AM) camenker: As you may, the registration process for scoreloop is a bit different
(7:51:06 AM) camenker: we use the device ID
(7:51:43 AM) camenker: but we have 100,000 unique IDs we haven't  had previously per day
(7:51:50 AM) DarkKeripo: ahh, I see
(7:52:15 AM) DarkKeripo: would that be an average increase or steadily increasing number
(7:52:24 AM) DarkKeripo: *average number
(7:52:59 AM) camenker: In truth, it goes up and down depending on what games and what press are going on that particular day
(7:53:27 AM) camenker: Sometimes all the DL traffic of the day will be re-directed via a TouchArcade article to some new game nobody integrated with
(7:53:45 AM) camenker: but the trend itself is upwards
(7:53:50 AM) camenker: : D
(7:53:56 AM) DarkKeripo: promising ; )
(7:54:07 AM) camenker: btw
(7:54:07 AM) DarkKeripo: do you by any chance have comparative numbers against Open Feint?
(7:54:12 AM) camenker: the other ben sitting next to me
(7:54:18 AM) camenker: says he's been talking to you, too.
(7:54:26 AM) DarkKeripo: ahh, I was wondering about that
(7:54:37 AM) DarkKeripo: ben.woolley@scoreloop.com
(7:54:45 AM) camenker: That's the one : D
(7:54:51 AM) camenker: I go by "Carlos" in the office
(7:54:55 AM) camenker: we have too many Bens
(7:55:00 AM) DarkKeripo: must be confusing in the office with the two Bens ; P
(7:55:17 AM) camenker: It gets worse - we have a few in the other offices.
(7:55:47 AM) camenker: As for comparative numbers against OF,
(7:56:21 AM) camenker: SL likes to play things close to the chest and strike from darkness like a ninja. 
(7:56:43 AM) camenker: I think OF posts it's own numbers though, if you want to extrapolate from the data that we have given out. 
(7:57:34 AM) camenker: Another thing to consider would be the marketplaces themselves -
(7:57:55 AM) camenker: where Scoreloop / OF / etc. are making the deals, who they are partnering with.
(7:58:18 AM) DarkKeripo: I see
(7:58:20 AM) camenker: speaking of which...
(7:58:39 AM) camenker: Keep a sharp eye out for us this week.
(7:58:47 AM) camenker: : D
(7:59:03 AM) DarkKeripo: I assume you'll be announcing this "big surprise"? ; )
(7:59:35 AM) camenker: well, it's tentatively this week - I don't want to promise that we'll have the contracts signed and the ink dry by friday and then leave you high and dry.
(8:00:03 AM) DarkKeripo: I don't think my partners and I will be doing any major updates/releases for another two weeks
(8:00:18 AM) camenker: But we know we have the better SDK and we are positioning ourselves to prove it. 
(8:00:23 AM) DarkKeripo: so we'll definitely be willing to wait it out and see how things happen
(8:00:31 AM) camenker: Fantastic.
(8:00:46 AM) camenker: Now that we've got the business stuff out of the way,
(8:00:50 AM) camenker: I'm just curious -
(8:00:57 AM) camenker: do YOU play SM/FFR/DDR?
(8:02:21 AM) DarkKeripo: I use to be a huge stepmania player in high school
(8:02:30 AM) DarkKeripo: DDR and FFR, not so much
(8:02:42 AM) camenker: I did the SM thing myself
(8:02:47 AM) camenker: Reach / Arch0wl, etc
(8:02:47 AM) DarkKeripo: I also played a lot of DJ Max and Beatmania, hence why the default is reverse
(8:02:55 AM) camenker: haha
(8:02:59 AM) camenker: Favorite song?
(8:03:04 AM) DarkKeripo: hm
(8:03:21 AM) DarkKeripo: hard to say, but everything I played was mostly anime songs on StepMania
(8:03:28 AM) camenker: Air by shiki?
(8:03:32 AM) DarkKeripo: DJ Max's was Oblivion
(8:03:36 AM) camenker: I think that was anime
(8:03:46 AM) DarkKeripo: can't remember - it was ages ago xD
(8:03:50 AM) camenker: haha
(8:04:14 AM) camenker: Well I used to bug certain stepfile makers
(8:04:27 AM) camenker: with requests. 
(8:04:45 AM) camenker: But if you still have your SM library, I'd be interested in trading : )
(8:05:07 AM) camenker: anyhow, I gotta head out to lunch. You can ignore the PM if you wish. 
(8:05:25 AM) camenker: Was fun talking to you and best of luck on the game. Happy you're considering us.
(8:05:37 AM) DarkKeripo: cool
(8:05:59 AM) DarkKeripo: I'm actually about to head off for some sleep - stayed up way to late (8am in the morning here)
(8:06:21 AM) DarkKeripo: it was a pleasure talking with you and good to know about the chill environment you guys follow ; )
(8:06:42 AM) camenker: Yeah. 
(8:06:53 AM) camenker: Takes gamers to know gamers, right?
(8:07:06 AM) DarkKeripo: true ; )
(8:07:31 AM) camenker: I was hired because I'm the only one who can beat my boss at Street Fighter IV on iphone.
(8:07:35 AM) DarkKeripo: do you mind if I add you as an AIM contact btw?
(8:07:37 AM) camenker: important resume skills
(8:07:41 AM) DarkKeripo: for future communications?
(8:07:45 AM) camenker: well, this is my work AIM
(8:07:52 AM) camenker: I don't mind
(8:07:56 AM) DarkKeripo: whichever you are most comfortable with
(8:08:01 AM) camenker: if you want to add my person one, i'm subzero7UP
(8:08:05 AM) camenker: *personal
(8:08:06 AM) DarkKeripo: or think you're most accessible with
(8:08:16 AM) camenker: I'm on both pretty frequently
(8:08:19 AM) camenker: so it's all good
(8:08:55 AM) camenker: But yeah, let me or the other Ben know when something comes up, and we'll try to get back to you when we come out with our big news : D
(8:09:02 AM) camenker: Good night, ttyl
(8:09:13 AM) DarkKeripo: have a nice lunch ; )
(8:09:27 AM) camenker: danke
(8:09:35 AM) DarkKeripo: and I'll be looking out for the good news (tell Ben to send me an email reminder when it happens)
(8:10:05 AM) Carlos (Scoreloop): Will do. Seeya.
