“A mobile game? Anyone could make that”Not true: Most game developers fail, often. Not because they don’t have the passion.Like many, they usually overcomplicate things.How they think they should launch a game:🚫 Build a game, pray and hope people play,🚫 Spend months on unnecessary details,🚫 Skip marketing, “if it’s good, players will come.”🚫 Fail bad, feel stuck and eventually, give up.How you actually launch a game:✅ Research, build, and test based on data,✅ Set up a UA campaign with small budget,✅ Track how Real players actually behave,✅ Adapt, improve, update and repeat.If you’re waiting for the “perfect game”You’re already losing, not gonna happen. Stop overthinking and start building.Cheers! Happy Sunday!
