Lobby Ads - GIF Studies

[samgawaran]

Summary

Based on the report here: https://github.com/colonistio/katan/issues/8098 the itembox in the end-game screen garnered a lot more clicks compared to other ads.

GIFs made here will be subjected to AB-Test to check if players click them more compared to static

I looked at how some other sites use GIFs and they don't make it super animated, I assume that they don't want the players to be distracted enough to leave their websites

Details

• I did some faster versions for the Memberships, not sure if the speed is enough to grab attention in the first one

I can still edit the animation speed if you want. I'll just update this issue so no need to tag you again.
