Hey everybody was in need for some advice, I need downloads for my game. Is buying AD space the way to go? Ive incorporated everplay in there but people has to download it first. Ive posted on forums and indie game magazine… No luck any advice would be welcome. The game is built with Unity and is on google play and windows phone.
Going for Android first is (I have to be honest) a pretty dumb move for the fact that there’s no way for Android users to find “all games released today”. They only can see “top 300 games released recently”. So basically unless they directly search for your game or you have amazing SEO, no one will find your game - period. So no one will download it. I hope you know this? I would do a press release for your game and hopefully it will get picked up by some online places so people will actually know your game exists. Posting on forums isn’t going to do much. Ads I don’t think are worth the money.
Not sure about Windows phone, but I think it’s better to release on iOS first because at least people can see “all games released today”.
Yeah I agree Android(Google) should have a “New” category and give at least a week of exposure… I will be releasing my game on the Apple platform next year(In about a month) I’m always learning and doing new stuff.
