Are developers and publishers getting along?
Developer vs Publisher Often times, they dream different dreams under the same roof. Developer saying “Let’s make this happen”. (Our game is so good, we will make millions of dollars with it!) Publisher saying “Let’s make this happen”. (We paid the financial commitment so you’d better listen to us so we can make money!)
Developer vs Publisher If it made a huge success, it’s all good. If not, we have problems. Developer saying, “Users? Marketing? Promotion? Any love to our game? Arrrrrr” Publisher saying, “Updates? Bugs? Retention ratio? Delay? Arrrrrr”
Developer vs Publisher Developers should be well aware what they wish to achieve by working with publishers. Market or territory Financial commitment Investment or financing User acquisition and install base Marketing Analytics Customer service QA Technical support
