Congrats on the success. Allow me to give you some advice before you sell, having been in almost your exact position at your age:
- Lots of emails/press attention is a good sign and no reason to give up on a project. Focus on improving the game and ignore the emails if you have to. They don't matter
- I too had a game go viral (0 to 3 million accounts in about 6 weeks). I was getting multiple acquisition offers but up until that point it was the most exciting and stressful time of my life. I got absolutely no sleep for days on end. But it paid off and I learned more practical knowledge in those short few weeks than my entire college career.
- When the time was right I sold, not because I was tired, but because it was the right time for the game and for my future
- Shortly thereafter I developed another game which I considered selling early on like you are doing now because I wanted to move on to something else. I decided to continue improving it and it ended up lasting 5+ years and grossing several million $s, far more than I ever thought was possible with the initial version
- This is your baby. You are by far the best person to nurture it and turn it into something you're extremely proud of.
- Your growth is promising but the traffic right now is too low for you to get any serious offers in my opinion. Keep on grinding, it'll be worth it
- DonHopkins 12y ago>This is your baby. You are by far the best person to nurture it and turn it into something you're extremely proud of. That comes through in all the meticulously detailed, earnest and honest information you posted about it. It sounds kind of like you're trying to find a good home and trustworthy owner for a beloved cat who you can't keep in your apartment any longer. Just remember, your cat (i.e. your audience) loves you too. Good luck whatever you do!
- napsterbr 12y agoThis is the best analogy someone could come with. It feels exactly like that.
