2:28 TIP NUMBER ONE: Use pre-existing monetization models.
3:07 Talks on GDC's UA-cam channel to learn more.
4:34 Tip NUMBER TWO: Stick to your genre. Don't get lost in the multitude of paths offered to you.
5:23 Hyper casual gaming represents the largest part of the market. It's recommended to monetize at the start of a game session because the player is not expected to play for very long.
6:13 TIP NUMBER THREE: Optimise UX to make sure users know how to interact with monetization systems.
8:17 TIP NUMBER FOUR: NO PAY TO WIN!!! Simple enough?
10:34 TIP NUMBER FIVE: Make sure monetization is tightly integrated with the game and use analytics.
12:02 TIP NUMBER SIX: Balance creativity and business needs. Trello can be a good free tool for time management.
I don't see how adds are supposed to improve retention... This seems like a false a correlation = causation. Games with ads rely on retention, so devs put more effort to keep the users constantly engaged with their product (via push notifications, daily challenges, login awards etc.). Good video though!
Because it only happens when there's an expected benefit from watching ads. It's not the ad itself. Ads are better as a "Continue playing" mechanic rather than a "hey, here's an ad because we have to make a living, sorry for the trouble".
Generally a game without ads likely relies purely on paid shop or features without options for f2p players to engage with paid content... (cash shop skins, in game currency, continuance mechanics etc...) Ads while abused by some games are a great boon for games and f2p players when used correctly.
Lack of ads in a free mobile game is generally a sign of a Pay to Win mechanics or very simple gameplay... Obviously not every game fits those molds, but there is a point to it.
Correlation doesn't always equal causation but server space costs money and if your developers are going to get paid for their efforts the money has to come from somewhere... So games without ads are often not catered to the casual free player
Man, i love this channel. Everytime i have question about game dev, this channel upload the answer the next morning. And i am not even asking.
Damn, I wasn't expecting a whole-ass meta analysis. Great work!
Awesome videos as always. Next time when I make another mobile game I'll keep these tips in mind. Will come in handy. Keep it up! :)
That's great to hear! Keep us posted on your next game's development.
I’m about to launch my companies mobile gaming platform in May and this video is CRAZY INFORMATIVE ! I’ve been subscribed for about a year now and I’m glad you guys are around
Wow, that's cool 😎 have you now launched your gaming company now?
@@billbandoh5818 can you drop your IG link?
@@phadychamp just added it in the comment.
It would be really great to have time stamps and to have links to all the things you talked about in the video. If you want to optimize clickthrough by minimizing the number of links in the description you could make a google docs with all that stuff in it. That way you'd only have one additional link to add to the description. :)
while me was being pissed that I clicked on it | glad I went to comments after one minute and looked at all so called tips | he and you are the 98%
Awesome video. I've got a few games out myself, but never made much money. I'll have to consider some of these tips. 🤔
