Please put some visuals on the video itself when you mention about the numbers. Hard to follow this way. And sometimes I fast forward but without any visuals it is not possible

so did you make the bulk of that cash from banner ads? Surprised the rewarded ads did so poorly, and also the number of ad requests relative to your number of installs in bonkers good. Good job. Subbed.

I really enjoy Unity, it's very easy to get the hang of ! I'm not sure about the ads, I think maybe I set them up wrong? I'm not sure as they all seemed to be working yet no money came in whereas AdMob worked straight away

@RobLang 2 жыл бұрын

Interesting! It sounds that you did it for the experience of releasing your own game, which has way more value than the money you made but... What's your return on investment? Perhaps best way to calculate that is to subtract any costs, then work out how much your spare time is "worth" (what would you accept as a part time salary hourly rate) then multiply that by hours spent on it. Finally subtract the cost of hours worked on it from your net revenue. Naturally, only for interest sake.

@DanPos 2 жыл бұрын

Well I have a full time job so I was technically being paid (in annual leave terms while I worked on this) My freelance rate for things is usually around £30 an hour - the initial prototype took 7 hours £30 x 7 = £210 Plus I probably spent about another 21 hours on patching etc. £210 x 3 +£630 - - - £840 + £20 (Google Play console fee) - - - £860 Total Costs. - - - £610 (4 Months Earning) - £860 (Total Costs) = -£250 ....well shit :P

@RobLang 2 жыл бұрын

@@DanPos actually, that's not bad at all. As long as you keep your costs down going forward then the long tail will see it turn a profit eventually. Now the next tough-ish question - do you consider that a success? I know that your metric for success to get a game out there and being downloaded, so... yes, that would be a success, but now you can see your thumb-in-the-air estimate, are you happy with it?

@DanPos 2 жыл бұрын

@@RobLang yeah I'm very happy with it as it didn't really "cost" me anything as I was just on annual leave and sat around the house, and the money raised allowed me to pick up a TV for my office and a display tablet to help with gamedev - any long tail is now going to be put into savings along with my KZfaq money to make a van 🚐

This video is FULL OF LIE. No offense but as a game developer myself with mobile games published on google play. You're just spewing non-sense. The numbers don't line up! 864 USD for just one banner ad on your home screen? Are you treating us like fools? Then it's from 300,000 ad request? Not even an Impression? Just a request that means the actual impression is much more lower than 300,000. Let's say 150k impression. So you're saying now that your banner ad ECPM is 8 USD? What a lie. Another point is you're saying you've gathered 300,000 ad request from your little 3k installs? Plus the fact that there's zero screenshot of your ad network report/dashboard shared in your video. For context banner ads usually are less than $1 ECPM.

@DanPos Жыл бұрын

Normally I'd just ignore people going on the attack, but also don't like being called a liar 🙄 At the peak I was getting around £13 ECPM - here's my analytics: imgur.com/a/5FnE6KL
