Newbie indie dev's Android game income stats for October
- ja27 15y agoTrying not to be overly critical, but the three games I looked at seem quite simplistic and the artwork is minimal. Putting a little more time into the artwork should pay off. These recent tutorials on Gamesutra could help: http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/author/ChrisHildenbrand/6036/ http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/author/ChrisHildenbrand/6036/
- ZiggysGames 15y agoI agree, the games I've created so far are very basic, and all the art is taken from free clip-art sites. The biggest critic on that so far has been my wife :) I'm (slowly) working on a more substantial game idea, and I've been updating a dev journal on my blog as I make progress. Thanks for taking the time to look through the games, and for the feedback, I really appreciate it.
- Caballera 15y agoGreat Blog, I like reading your progress. I'm new to Android Dev myself so it's nice to see how others are doing.
- ZiggysGames 15y agoThanks. Glad you found it useful.
- NanoWar 15y agoMaking 400 quick bucks with a game called "BUS JUMP" is quite motivating I think!
- ZiggysGames 15y agoThanks :)
- DavidTO1 15y agoKeep up the good work. Since you're a one man band, I might also suggest you try to copy a successful app on the Android market. Find an app that is relatively high priced that you think you could copy and then sell at a lower price. They've already proven that the market exists. Once you have the app built, then iterate by adding features that the competition may not have thought of. Good luck.
- ZiggysGames 15y agoThanks. That's good advice on app ideas. So far I've been trying games, and I think apps are a fairly different dynamic, from the development side as well as what drives someone to purchase one. I'll probably try my hand at a non-game app some day.
