We're on location for the Age of Empires II @EscapeAoE ECL Final! Come say hi to Eliot & Michael if you are there in person, or tune in to twitch.tv/escapeaoe to see the start of the 2 vs 2 stage with Secret vs Suomi live now!
Now big mobile publishers are soft launching playable ads on small ad networks, improving the ad's conversion, then spending heavily on bigger networks when ready. I’m still learning how to do that effectively for our *games*. :P
@Derek_Lieu Really nice post. I’m surprised you didn’t get picked up. It sometimes feels like devs struggle more with getting noticed than they do with making a game. 🙃
IMO the hardest step for aspiring (commercial) indie game developers is learning to finish games consistently and efficiently - to move past game jams and prototypes but also avoid getting mired in a single project for years without end. It's a tiny sweet spot that's hard to hit.
@lizardengland I really enjoy your breakdowns! I could only swing the last three days so they’ve been tiding me over in the mean time. Thanks for putting in the time and energy ✌️
