    I'm four years late with my comment, but this is a really interesting video. Your words contain a lot of wisdom. I'm working on my own mobile game, and my main motivation is to create something that I like to play myself. Like you, I've also downloaded a ton of simple games for motivation. Most of the games I've downloaded could be better. I play them once or twice, or sometimes only for a few seconds, and then delete them. In the meantime I've probably watched a couple of video ads, which is annoying as hell. I much prefer to play my own game because I like it, and I am addicted to trying to beat my previous high score. I'm not sure if that is a good sign or not, because I've no clue if anyone else will like it as much as I do. I guess I'll eventually find out if/when my game gets published.

    I’ve been getting into mobile dev work and wanted to branch into something more creative like making my own game, and a lot of my concerns about this space were looked at in this video such as the gaming market being saturated with these large companies like VooDoo and the sorts... I was pretty demotivated having a lot of this reinforced within the vid, however the experience you gained made for an invaluable story to hear and is something to be mindful of - with that said, the line you gave at the end gave me some real hope for sure when trying to spread my own creativity... I’d rather be the guy in the room who made one killer app for sure ;)

    I think these companies are hoping to get their hands on the next Tetris: a casual game, easy to pick up, but with serious depth. It became one of the best selling games of all time. So they are playing the numbers: hundreds of games per month with the hopes of increasing their chances to grab a Tetris.

      It's an irrational hope though, in the contrary, the high output makes it impossible to develop a single decent game. They're only living off venture capital money and as long as some rich idiots are dumb enough to give them more, they won't change anything about their system. This is happening in all areas of the startup world, highly unsustainable business models with no direction being kept alive by rich idiots, who can afford losing a lot of money.

    Thank you for telling your experience. Publishers have such a bad reputation in the mobile app industry and for many if them it is well deserved. Developers like yourself need to either learn social media/digital marketing basics or collab/hire someone who does. Pretty much all the tools you need to publish and promote your own stuff are easily available to indie devs now.

    If you want to make that building game better: You can make there be floors, and each block up is a floor, after you get to 50 floors, you get 2 blocks, so will make 2 floors at once, and the number can go up by 1 for every 50 until you are making 5 floors at once. After that, you could make it so every 100 floors is a story, so your players have a goal... to make as many stories as possible. And by time you start making stories every minute, every 2 stories can make you make 5 more floors, until you are at 15 floors. For unlocks, you can start with rocks,wood, then go up through ever metal material, until you unlock building peices, then go through different types of buildings until you get hotel peices. This will give a lot of unlock possibilities. The game can be named Scrape the Sky

    It all depends on how you package your game. I'm currently working on a casual game, and on its own its "fine". However, the important aspect of it is the leaderboards. More specifically, competing with friends. Sure, the game is acceptable enough for someone to play on their own for a few mins before stopping, but when you introduce a competitive aspect to even the most simplest casual game, you'll get people invested in it.
    (this of course assumes the user has friends that also have other. global leaderboards can also work, but it isn't really that hard to submit fake scores.)
