Hello all. I am a newbie on this forum. I am a programmer with almost 30 years of experience behind me and a few startups too. However, up until now I have never so much as been near a game and certainly have not developed any. That has now changed and I am on the brink of publishing my first game. The best description for it would be to call it a Hypercasual Puzzle game - currently only for Android.
I plan to launch the game soon and am starting to give serious thoughts to how it should be marketed. The two routes appear to be -
- Indie - just publish on Play Store, do my own marketing and see how it goes
- Go to one of the publishers and use their services. I refrain from mentioning names since it might well be against the policy of this forum but somehow the word Lion appears to come to mind. At a price I imagine though the added exposure justifies that
I do have some money to put into marketing so I am not sure which route will serve me better in the longer term. I'd much appreciate any advice from those here who have been there before ?
