Hello all!
I’m Elias and I’m a creator. I want to start developing multiple apps with Corona SDK. I’ve started to create a few apps and I want to quit my job and create content online. I will create a few apps with corona. I really enjoy this tool!
What do you think is expected of purchases from publishing gaming apps on android and ios market?
What to expect in terms of purchases and downloads do you think?
Best regards, Elias
Hey! First of all; Welcome to the forums and Corona SDK!
Now lets get back to real life.
It is actually very hard to get your app out there and get it to become popular because there are hundreds of thousands of devs out there making games and publishing them.
On google play you have really maybe 1/10000000000 chance of your app getting seen by someone that really likes it and is powerful enough to advertise it for free and get you download’s.
On apple you have a slightly better chance of getting out there because apple doesn’t accept stupid apps and games and so there is much less garbage to compete with.
One MAIN tip on if you want to make a game or an app is art work. That is pretty much the main part. If you have terrible art work but very good game play then no one will want to play it because most people on the online stores tend to “Judge the book by it’s cover” and just scroll right past your app or game.
So over all you have to put in some money torward advertising your game and getting it out there. I’m pretty sure a lot of people on the forums that made there games and released them and actually paid for advertising and stuff will say that the hardest part of being a low budget or indie dev is the part where your game is fully done and you want to get it out there but you don’t want to spend your life saving on advertising a game that might not get you your money back.
Hopefully i haven’t scared you away from this programmer life! It’s amazing and it’s always the best when you can imagine something and put it together and let the world see what’s really inside you and what your made of!
Good Luck!
Yes thanks a lot mate!
