How I created a mobile game for my child

A bit of background



I have been familiar with games since childhood, I still remember going every day to my neighbor to play Mario and tanks all day, and after my brother and I got the console, we played for many days, getting to know various games of that time. I found Intel 386 and 486, SEGA and the first PS (I still remember Resident evil 3 nemesis, I can probably go through it with my eyes closed), in general, I spent a lot of time playing computer games and, as I thought, I have every right and experience do something of your own.



Creation of a studio for the development of mobile games



It sounds, of course, cool, but in fact, what I did was register the first domain at the beginning of 2019 with the name of my future studio redrockstudio.ru. Do not think, this is not an advertisement, as it ended with the domain registration. The site will be there, but when exactly, I will not say, did it for the future, and suddenly we will be successful.



The next thing I did was pay $ 25 for a developer account on Google Play with the same name as a domain.



At first, I decided not to do it on Apple phones, since I had to buy a developer's office for $ 100 and pay that amount once a year. (I still had no idea how the games were made and whether I would bring this business to the end, so there was not enough money or motivation).



What will the game be like?



After grandiose plans to create a studio, I started thinking what kind of game I want and for whom it is suitable.

If anyone is interested in what we did [the link to the game was removed by the moderator, since this is a violation of the Habr rules, look for the title "Animal sounds. Study the voices of animals while playing."] , I would be grateful for the assessment and reviews, as well as advice and recommendations for the game



In the next article I will try to tell you how we decided to monetize the game and what mistakes we made, as well as how much the game brought in the first month of publication.

If it is interesting, I will definitely continue to write.
