My first word was: >print: WOW !!!

- You need a HOOK, like something that makes the game imposibble to beat, and people are "forced" to contact each other via FB to get extra lives… +moneyshop for extra thingies.
2.ONLINE LADDER BOARD is a MUST. If people cant brag or show others what they have achieved its no use…
- Someone should consider suiciding in order to get the media’s attention. You can purchase that subject on silkroad for about 10-15 BTC.
4.Good luck
( no.3 is a joke, please dont suicide or purchase someone that does it for a living ( get it ? for a living, lol ).
It hurts me to see so much work and such little interest, the main problem I have found is that the majority of the population think "coding" and "game making" to be a hobby and as such is psichologicaly coded in human brains that there is no need for a "payment" as you are an "indie" developer. Its all psichology of the masses.
My suggestion would be to continue with the project, but add different "skins" ( reskin the game, winter time, summer time, etc ), implement multiplayer !!!, cash shop, and ADDverts. ADD’s make you money even if the game is FREE.
You should consider finishing the game on your own, putting a DEMO or a LITE version on market for free and see where it goes from that.
Dont take my advice too seriously, im just blabering about
I have little to none of experience selling apps on the app store, but I have done some coding and gamedesing in the past ( some stupid projects for my GF and some automated light switches and sensors… ).
I could write here all day and give advice regarding stuff I dont really know much about, but im gonna end it with a thouth.
Your first goal in a project should always be to determine WHO you are selling to.
- a funny train game -> 9+
- a stretegic train defense game -> 13+
- a multyplayer train defense game -> 15+
- a train defense simulator ( like brakes, coal status, bla bla bla… ) 18+ <- CREDIT CARD OWNER
Thats how I see things from my economic point of view ( i have finished School for Economy, so my understanding of economy is over lvl9000 ).
I hope this wall of text will be of any use. English is not my primary language so there are going to ge some grammar issues and such. +the style of my writing is more for a "white board" not a forum ![:smiley: :smiley:](https://forum.cnto-arma.com/images/emoji/twitter/smiley.png?v=12)
P.S.: Are you doing the texturing and other stuff in 1080p native ? or are you doing it so its future proof ( my phone is 2560x1440 res. and I have a credit card
