THUMB UP WITHOUT WATCHING! YOU CRUSHING MAAAAAN!!1

Amazing tips, thank you! I'm nearing the release of my first mobile game. I've spend 8 years making various projects, never finishing any of them and instead starting new project, one after another - because I was scared the game I was working on would not succeed and all the potential and hard work would be wasted. BUT, I've finally grown to realize what the reality is for 99% of indie devs: your first game will not launch your career, it will probably be a failure if you think only in terms of money. However, you should not focus on that. Focus on gaining the experience of going through, be proud you made a game, pour your passion into it and be ready to face the harash reality with a big smile. Because the moment you went through with it, you are already further down on the path than most indies will ever be. Your first game will not succeed. Probably not your second. It might not be the third either. The thing here is consistency,; learn from your mistakes, improve your marketing and game design skills, be ready to do the tedious work on social media sites, grow painfully slowly - only then, you MIGHT succeed and make a full-time career out of it. Sounds bleak? Discouraging? It is, but that does not matter, not as long as you enjoy making games. That's what truly matters. Cheers!

big boss beutifull video ⚔

Мужик, спасибо! Из того, что я видел, у тебя самые толковые видосики по теме. Было бы круто если бы ты рассказал как денежки выводить (с налогами и всем таким прочим) из Google, а то вообще информации нет, и в банках никто ничего не знает. А если есть опыт как это делать ООО, то вообще цены такому видео не будет!

thanks

Sharing great content

Thank you so much for the amazing tips☺, one thing if you don't mind helping, do you have any suggestions or tips of how to convince youtube channels or games reporters from your experience to cover or feature our game?

Thanks a lot and a question, what skill in digital marketing need to work in game's companies part of digital marketing?

Great vid mate. Gonna save it for future.

Great video but there is one thing I do not agree with. Got a 5 year break from game dev and got into sales, marketing, business etc coming back now to disrupt the market. The correct answer I believe is: 40% hard work, 10% luck and 50% operations (marketing, branding, sales skills used in negotiations and partnerships). Luck is something that you did good but you don't know exactly what so 10% accounts for the unforseeable (like Kim Kardashian plays your game and mentions it randomly in a random video how she is obsessed with this game). And this scenario actually exposes the reason why >90% of game devs don't make money. I'm curious what you think about this. Keep up the good work!

Thank you

What about investing in ads? Do you have any advices on that?

Yeah a well sorted and polished video. But one thing that I think is missing is, what is the most ideal time the the whole marketing process should last before the relaese?

can you make a video about sell game on steam.

How often do you update your social medias before launch? Every day?

hey, can you give me a tip for a good reddit category or group to post? many disallow videos etc. or have no enough follower?

How do you even put your game in the play Store using your phone or gonna need a pc or laptop

Hi, would u suggest yodo1 for 2023 ? & does it support Gdevelop ?

I love how you are holding the microphone Just a joke man, but thanks for these information ❤

Talk to google managers to upload games in playmarket or whatever then Make own KZfaq channel with your game name make about it videos then people will ask where to download you say link 🔗 in below 👇 the download link will not be normal you will be used link shortener voala you will earn from link shortener and advertisement of KZfaq i mean google and you will earn from playmarket downloads

Thnx for the Video 👌 What about Uploading our Game in Huawei App Gallery? There are also Millions of Users. Any suggestions on that? 🤔❤️

Why dont you upload to Kongregate?

It's better to simply straight to in game without tutorial especially it's online mobile game most player is all ready hating tutorial all so in reroll is optional to add just in case new players don't like the character that they get from pull if it's gacha because many players who is creating content gameplay with top tier character for pve and pvp for end games

Here is how I did it (it's 80% luck). Thanks.

My audience are kids what should i do😢

3:03 you gonna get huge spike of download... Och really? That's great!

Working alone is not fun but it's worth it 😌 after revenue

That transition is annoying and kinda like glitch, but very useful video thanks

Bro, pls, make simple cuts) Not this metamorphoses

Would you recommend partnering with yodo1?
