Hi! Recently i made my second game for Android and publish it in Google Play. Sometime later i saw that it also doesn’t popular as my first game. Why? What i do wrong?<\/p>\n
Preface about my last 2 years of development<\/strong> First step<\/em> About development Result Second step<\/em> About development Result Third step<\/em> About development Result Is there any advises?<\/em>
\n In winter holydays in 2016 year i learned next books:
\n Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship – Robert Martin;
\n Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software – GOF;
\n Learning LibGDX Game Development – Suryakumar Balakrishnan Nair, Andreas Oehlke.<\/p>\n
\n After it I were start to develop my first real game (not prototype, full with main menu screen, pause and also leaderboard) one and half year ago. I published it in Google Play at 3 march 2017. Game like Pac Man about dormitory life. You need to run away from three girls, eat fruits and other dishes and collect coins.<\/p>\n
\n I were start from class diagram and go towards code over about one month. A lot of time took design. Top-view peoples is were 3d-models. Yes, it took many many time to learn 3D Max, Maya and put it to trash. In the end i chose Poser with standart Assets. After it i were need to animate characters that took also not less time. I animated characters in the same Poser. Next was other parts of design. It was beauty and simple. Sounds was getted from free sounds web resources.<\/p>\n
\n This game has 179 installs after publish, for more half year. Yes, it’s fiasco.

\n After my first big game i were join to Ludum Dare #38 with game ‘The Whole truth about Nature selection’. May be you saw it. And it was cool. I received comments and likes. It wasn’t popular, but it in any case was very cool expierence. I joined the Jam, although i wanted to join the Compo.<\/p>\n
\n I used my paper notepad for prototyping, Photoshop for fast design and Processing JS for code. Sounds was record in my kitchen on my Macbook.<\/p>\n
\n 2 like on Openprocessing.org<\/a>, about 700+\/2500 place on ldjam.com<\/a> in total rating.

\n My last game was Simple and Classic Match 3 game. Game about Russian cities sights.<\/p>\n
\n I used Illustrator for design, LibGDX and Java for code, sounds from free sounds web recources.<\/p>\n

\n I published news on my social media pages and it not working. I used best-practice for Google Play description decoration, made promo video and took good screenshots. It was my big mistake to make not candy Match 3? It’s normal? Maybe my games really not good? What do you think about it?
\n I will thank you for your any comments and advises.<\/p>","time":"November 7th, 2017 1:02 am","title":"What i do wrong?"}
