Game Development Reference
In-Depth Information
Unfortunately, there is no universal recipe for this. Market analysis and extensive ex-
amination of other games' gameplay is required to spot which are the key features
that can predict the commercial success of your game.
Target platform and competitors
Along with the audience, the decision about which platform to target is important for
the commercial success of any title.
The best scenario would be to have your mobile game available and running smooth
on all three main mobile platforms: iOS, Android, and Windows Phone, especially if
you plan to make a Freemium game.
On the other hand, to develop a game version for each individual platform requires
time and money.
If you plan to make a Premium game, which is downloaded for a cost, we suggest
that you target the iOS platform, as Android is known for being considered an open
source platform preferred by those who aren't likely to pay for contents in general,
and Windows Phone is not yet popular enough to propel exclusive development for
this platform alone.
Also look for competitors when deciding the platform for a game. Are there other
games similar to yours already available, or will there be at the time you plan to ship?
Which are the key features of such titles?
The idea is to find a niche for your title where it can profit!
