Unless your game is extraordinary, it's initial performance in terms of users who download it for the first time will be directly related to how much you've marketed the upcoming release of your game.

Common strategies seem to be a free to play download version and either or both a pay a little for non-ads version, or microtransactions and timer based gated content.

Or an initial payment to download it, and then no ads from the get go, but usually still microtransactions.


From listening to interviews of indie and small company devs, income from your game will spike at release but usually trickle off in 2-4 months unless you keep up with content, which is why most small teams begin work on another title to be completed and released as that previous game looses players, and subsequently stops producing income.

Micro-transactions that give an advantage. If your game is good enough kiddies will buy shit because they want to feel superior.

so basically just do FNAF style shit?

I run a small company that has one successful game and is looking for programmers to create new simple games. We have means of marketing the game and know how to monetise well. For every free download we get about 1.5 USD in in app purchases. If you would like to work with us, let us know.

What kind of languages do your programmers need to know?

>>1237399
Does not matter. What matters is being able to develop games for Google Play and iOS. Use whatever language you are comfortable with. We would help with monetisation, promotion, advertisement and we also have a full time artist for graphics.

Leave me your e-mail and we could discuss this further if you are interested.

Keep re-releasing the game with different colors and a new name.
