| We spent $2,042 advertising our mobile game on Snapchat. Here are the results. Posted: 16 Jul 2020 06:18 PM PDT This data is for the indies considering paid advertising. Our game is a free to play puzzle game called King Rabbit. This is the trailer, the ad looked the same as the trailer but in portrait mode. We spent time making sure the ad was well-targeted, fit our demographic, US / Canada only, etc.
Looks pretty good at first glance, right? We then checked the App Store analytics. They have a ~20-30% reporting rate, because users have to give their consent for their analytics to be collected.
$2042 / 110 = $18.56 per install. That's really bad mmk. We didn't even see a small bump. What do you think is happening here? Any experts in the house that could explain more? It's possible that the App Store reporting isn't very accurate, but either way we'll never do it again and wouldn't recommend it to you either. [link] [comments]  | ||

| From this point.. What path do I follow to a game development carer? Posted: 17 Jul 2020 04:27 AM PDT I have a dream job: Game designer, of board games and video games. I didn't realize about this dream on time. Now I'm father of two and approaching fast to my 30's. The thing is I'll not give up ond this, even if it takes me 5, 10 or 15 years. I have some time making small prototypes and projects with some friends, Nothing serious. I have a pretty good base knowledge in a few aspects of the game deveolpment process but I don't excel in any, like: Programming, art and sound/music. For what I know (correct me if I'm wrong) the "game designer" is a developer with experience, is not like one prepare for that job and get's it at first. SO.. I don't have too much time between kids and work (retail) and I'm not getting younger neither. So I concluded that I need to specialize on one of this aspects so I can get a job in the future to insert myself on the industry. In which knowledge should I deepen? (I like all more-or-less the same) Do you have any tip? Anything I'm not thinking of? I'm enclined for programming, beacuse programmers are needed, generaly. If tou agree.. What language, course, career shoul I approach? Thanks in advance and sorry for the wall of text. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 17 Jul 2020 12:27 PM PDT Hey All, I've been a games producer for quite some time now in the AAA sphere and to be honest it's been a terrible experience. All the negative stories that fly around the internet about the industry has basically been my entire experience. The issue here is that I find it so difficult to leave the industry as it feels like most other industry recruiters just simply do not understand what it is that we do. My question here is where do games producers go after they are well and done with producing games and looking for a better quality of life and better pay? How do we bypass the automation of applying for jobs online just for the algorithm to say no. I am thankful to be employed during this insane time and to have a salary for sure. But, all of this time isolated has made me think real long and deeply. I need to make my exit to an industry or company that is a much more pleasant experience. Thanks. [link] [comments]  | ||

| What Path Should I Take to Become a Creative-director For a Major Game ? Posted: 17 Jul 2020 12:01 PM PDT Hi, My biggest goal is to become a Creative-Director or a lead director on a major Game in the gaming industry, I'm 16 and i look up to great Creative directors in the industry such as: Cory Barlog (Creative director for God of war) and Ken levine (director for Bioshock 1 and Infinite), and I aspire to become a successful and great director like them, I know it takes a lot of time,dedication,work and creativity to get to such a position, but I still want to become one, I started to learn to draw,code,3d design and i'm even thinking about starting to write, the thing is, I wanna learn about is how to get there, what route in the industry should i take to become a Creative-director like Ken or Cory, I'd definitely prefer a more artistic path (Like 3D design,concept art,animation....etc,) but I don't know if that will lead me to the goal I want, maybe a writing or programming path would lead me there?, so I'd really appreciate some advice on that, I'd rather not start an indie studio and go for more of a AAA studio kind of Career, another question I have is can consept artists (or game artists in general) become Creative-Directors ? Thanks. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Looking for a game engine recommendation Posted: 17 Jul 2020 11:46 AM PDT I have been tasked to design and create a game for training medical trainees at a clinic. I am studying computer science and I have some experience with Unity and mainly objected oriented languages. What might be the best fit for a game that will be 2D, and simple, have clickable options for questions and not too much depth with additional interactivity? I'm happy to code more so than to learn about and work with a GUI. Any suggestions would be appreciated. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Multiplayer across multiple games Posted: 17 Jul 2020 11:36 AM PDT Ever so often, I hear people say "this game is best for that, and that game is best for this" Could the future bring us games that are linked together during multiplayer? An example: I'll use war/combat games since that is what I am used to. Lets say you have DCS (flightsim), and Squad or some sort of battlefield/arma hybrid (infantry and vehicle combat). Then the rounds/matches would take place on the same map, with same coordinates. But the flightsim would use a much bigger map, and the fps would use a smaller map. The positions of each character/actor would be duplicated to the games via network, and the players in the fps game will be able to see the planes flying and bombs dropping. And the players in the flightsim will be able to see and have an effect on the soldiers and vehicles from the fps game. What do you think? Are we there now, that this is possible? Would it even work?

| Posted: 17 Jul 2020 09:14 AM PDT Hello everybody, I'm a music producer rookie, I literally love videogames, I think they're one of the most expressive form of art ever shaped by humanity and I love when they are accompanied by great soundtracks. My, maybe dumb, question is: what do I need to get into the game music industry in your opinion? I know it could be difficult to give an exhausting answer to this, but still :) [link] [comments]  | ||

| Portable 3D Game Dev Environment - Any suggestions? Posted: 17 Jul 2020 11:19 AM PDT I'm currently considering the Macbook Pro 16, the new Dell XPS 15 or the Thinkpad X1 Extreme Gen 2. They all have dedicated integrated graphics and I don't really want a behemoth laptop either. Any thoughts or suggestions? I'm planning on getting a beefy desktop later on. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 17 Jul 2020 07:32 AM PDT I've been thinking about starting to make a game, i dont know a lot of things about game development but i got some bit of knowledge. I just wanted to know if what is considered to ambitious and if i was to make an openworld game would it be necessary to have a team? Thx for reading [link] [comments]  | ||
| Time travel game idea... (Silly idea had) Posted: 17 Jul 2020 11:16 AM PDT Create a game where the in game world has changes or nuances in it based on a predictive algorithm that gives time traveling players the illusion of choice. The changes exist before the player actually goes back in time, however because it's based on a predictive algorithm (game play style, fair choices made, character build, ect.) Those changes won't be consistent for other play through's. The system will even provide an illusion of choice at the moment the action is made, however the players actions well in advance will actually set that choice into motion. It would take a lot of slick writing and story-boarding as well as game play and level design to make it feel seamless. The best part is, as you get deeper into the game, the path is more fixed and the player becomes some what aware of things, they will try and change them only to fail over and over. Thus learning the futility of changing a future they simply know as their past. [link] [comments]  | ||
| How do game studios have multiple devs working on the same project? Posted: 17 Jul 2020 10:37 AM PDT Hey guys, I want to start making a game with a couple of my friends, but in having trouble figuring out how we would be able to access and change project all at the same time (online). How do you guys do it? Is it engine specific? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 16 Jul 2020 06:19 PM PDT Long story short I'm 25 years old. I spent the last five years of my time chasing a career that I did not want. When it came time to accept this career choice, Corona struck and stripped this career away from me. I only chose this career path because it was promised a lot of money and stability. I never truly wanted it Here I am five years later with neither of those. It was my dream since I was a kid to work in Game Development and Animation. I never chased after this dream because I was told I could never make any money at all from it and to choose the safer route. Well, I chose the safer route and I failed. Is 25 to late to learn how to Game Develop? I just ordered a laptop from Best Buy and it's coming on Friday and I've never been more excited for anything in my life. Could I have some recommendations for programs? Im looking into using Unreal. Thank you, much love [link] [comments]  | ||
