Before we start. Here’s something that you need to know.

You can’t. I am not here to demotivate you but you should know the truth. Creating a game takes a ton of work and depending upon your scale, it can range from a lot of work for a very long time, to being pure impossible.

No wonder mobile app developers prefer copying the current successful games and sharing those copies all over the store.

Just look at all the orphaned apps that look like Temple Run. With every copy, the games tend to lose a little bit of shine, and in the end, all that is left is a husk of what the game originally was.

Creating a gaming app, any gaming app is a nightmare for app developers. But most people don’t realize that, so I’ll give you an example.

For reference, Black Desert Mobile is a sandbox MMORPG game, which started way back in 2011. Today its overall revenue is more than one billion dollars, but we have to see that it took that game over a decade to reach that goal.

The problem here is everyone will look at the “One Billion Dollar revenue” and hardly anyone will notice the ten years of hard work. And that even worse for app developers because rarely anyone gives them due credit.

All this was possible because of a well-laid-out plan and a team of professionals at every step. This is a no negotiable fact in app development. A good team of game developers with experience can lead to far better results in the long run.

But you’re not here for that, are you? You just want to know how you can create a mobile gaming app right? You, lazy prick. Well, app developers are not being paid to complain so I’ll stop.

In this article, I am going to help you create a gaming app that might be loved by people.

Step 1: Make It Simple.

Whether you’re making a Triple-A game or a pixelated game, you need to know one thing. Your players want to be moved emotionally.

It’s far better to create a pixelated 10-minute-long game that makes people go “Holy moly that’s so beautiful” than creating a third-person shooter that gives a reaction of “Hmm… Pub-G is better.”

Always keep your goal intact. You are a to move your players. What truly matters is the story and what it’s made of. This leads us to our second step and that is…

Step 2: Where’s the Heart of Your Story?

Home is where the heart is, they say. Well for app developers, money is where authenticity is. Remember our earlier phrase:

“ People want to be moved, emotionally.” -Us

In today’s era of repeating the same game tropes, again and again, app development companies are doing a disservice to their customers. Pay to win games are rampant and frankly speaking, you can see the views of the public in the reviews for the games.

Now Imagine if your game has a fantastic premise, relatable characters, and decent monetization strategy. For app developers who come up with this sort of idea, the sky becomes the limit.

Step 3: Start Small

If you have read the previous paragraphs of this article then you will know that big doesn’t always mean better. Especially in the app development industry.

So, if this is your first project, this small. You don’t have to make a game like PubG to see how the market will react. Heck, you don’t even have to do a lot of designing. You can come up with the idea of a gamebook.

This is a book that has a multiple-choice option at the end of every page and with multiple endings that are good and bad. They use a premium profile model to monetize their apps.

And these app developers tend to make a bank every time.

These are all the rage with people who love reading but also like giving video games a shot. This is why demographic research and analysis are so important.

And this is just one of the examples of small-scale games. You can make a 2-D pixelated game, and if the story is good, you can catch quite a fan following from it. For instance, Dentures and Demons have got a near cult following because of the storyline and cheeky humor.

And you know what? That entire game series is in 2-D pixel format.

I see myself repeating the same thing here. You don’t have to start big. Start a small game, even a TCG, and test it on the market. This will help you understand how the top mobile app development companies think.

Conclusion:

I hear you ask “So all this information is great and all, but how do you build a mobile game?”

Well, here’s the thing dear reader. You already know what you want. You know what type of game you want. We are just guiding you so that your project on your app development (Even if it’s your first) becomes a success.

This is why we are here after all. If you have any doubts, please feel free to connect with us here.
