For Marketers

Updated over 7 months ago

Lumos provides marketers with insights into trending features, player preferences, and unique combinations — enabling targeted, high-impact messaging. With Lumos, you can confidently highlight what resonates, avoid outdated talking points, and carve out a distinct narrative for your game.

Highlighting Player-Preferred Features:

  • Lumos helps you see which player personas are most aligned with a game. This allows you to tailor your messaging to better resonate with the right audience.

  • Example: If a game’s profile shows high appeal among Explorers or Zen Gamers, focus your campaign on relaxing gameplay, exploration depth, or calming aesthetics.

  • Tip: Use Player–Game Fit to understand how your game appeals to different player types and adjust your promotional language accordingly.

Positioning Your Game Against Competitors

  • Use Lumos to see which features and mechanics are commonly used in top games — and find opportunities to stand out by highlighting what your game does differently.

  • Example: If most top games in your genre include Perspective Puzzle, but your game offers Dexterity Puzzle, that contrast becomes your unique hook.

  • Tip: Use Game Breakdown to see the full set of features in successful games, and use your own game’s unique inclusions or exclusions as a way to frame your campaign narrative.

Timing Your Campaign Around the Competition

  • Use Lumos to identify upcoming games that share similar features with your title. This helps you understand when those games are releasing — and whether your campaign might overlap or get lost in the noise.

  • Example: If your game shares core features with multiple upcoming titles that are launching in the next 2–3 months, you can adjust your messaging to emphasize unique angles — or shift timing to avoid saturation.

  • Tip: Use the Market Research page to filter for upcoming games with overlapping features and track release windows that may influence your go-to-market plan.

Spotting Marketing Opportunities in Feature Combinations

  • Unique or underused feature combinations are powerful talking points — they instantly convey what makes your game different.

  • Example: Combining Farming Simulation with Horror Themes might sound odd, but if it works — Lumos helps you frame that contrast as your signature hook.

  • Tip: Use Feature Breakdown to spot standout features, rare pairings, and underutilized mechanics with high upside.
