How far the gamification went, for me, could make or break the tastefulness of the whole idea, and users of non-porn gamified sites and apps are increasingly feeling like they're the ones being played. It's by far the first adult app to combine social gaming mechanics with the type of byte sized transactions which users want. Lead developer Christopher Lewicki added, I don't want to give away too much, but some badges will randomly reward MiKandi gold, so it's sort of like buried treasure/lottery effect. Virtual award badges and game-like contests are layered throughout the application to motivate user action and provide visual progress of a customer's achievements.Īctually, coming up with creative ways to earn badges was the best part of the process. Gamification wasn't just about making adult games, but designing a new system to delivering the best personalized customer service and in a super fun way. From the beginning they understood that it's not just about re-purposing your content for smaller screens, but embracing new technologies, new designs and business models.
However, due to piracy and dying business models, most adult studios have generally become risk-adverse or have not embraced these new trends, contradicting the "porn leads technology" reputation that we've all experienced.įemjoy decided to take the opposite approach. We talked a lot about how we're in a middle of a user experience revolution and how gaming has completely changed our expectations around content and entertainment. Regarding the game mechanics, I want to give some background on some of the initial discussions we had with the Femjoy team. The app pulls from 's ( site oh so very NSFW!) array of 750 models, 180 contributing artists, HD photos and videos, and - unlike other sites that regurgitate content as daily updates, they actually have new content every day. You may innovate your own double-entendres as you like.

So it made sense to me to see one of the leading high-class adult sites, Femjoy, team up with MiKandi to do something exciting in the Android app space. Commercial domestic porn mired itself while struggling with new technologies and distribution channels they couldn't control - or optimize. The leaders in this new porn space disrupted the likes of Playboy, Hustler and UK lad's mags. Prior to widespread Internet distribution, consumers had little choice about what they could choose from to turn them (and their partners) on.Ī significant number of consumers wanted tasteful, pretty porn shot by photographers that were artists, with models that look more like high-class lingerie models (think Agent Provocateur) - except they wanted the women to go all the way. In case you're unfamiliar with the porn space, there have been a lot of genre changes, especially in the "babe" market. It's an all-girl model-fest with women so drop-dead gorgeous - which is Femjoy's hallmark. It cleverly combines the game mechanics of Foursquare, the openness of Android and the sexiness of Victoria's Secret. MiKandi just released The Femjoy Pure Nude Android App (link is NSFW). Other than the obvious, wonderfully jiggly bits known to stand out most. And by now, you all know that I'll make fun of cliche startup apps in a red-hot second, so let me explain what stands out about this app. I'm confortable saying outright that I like good porn, and I'm more than persnickety when it comes to porn content delivery systems. It's pronounced like "my candy" and I assure you that their apps provide more than a sugar high. The company's open view on censorship has garnered a tremendous amount of global press and continues to gain support from the Android user community. MiKandi quickly became the leading Android adult app provider.
Don’t worry, developers - MiKandi supports you and your sexy apps.
MiKandi reacted to the purge with an open call to devs, posting this offer to its company blog: “We look forward to working with any developer who has been displaced by Apple in recent weeks.
