In this video I wanted to share my own experience of developing my very first game for iOS and Android and talk about how much revenu I got half a year later. I hope it will help to get some ideas about mobile game development. As an example I use my game - Ailment.
Ailment - Android/iOS pixel-art style mobile game. The game available on:
GooglePlay: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.BeardyBird.Ailment
AppStore‎: itunes.apple.com/app/id1463030573
Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/1167530/Ailment/

It's hilarious and sad that $1000 a month is considered a success story. I guess that's what we get when Unity brings down the barrier of entry to literally drag and drops.

Pedro Luiz Souza Pinto But not in financial terms think this looks amazing game and deserves more for work involved. If you are a full time web designer or game designer you would 1.5x more per month. Maybe if had to pay £1 for the game might be another option.

@1234 The reality is much worst, this game is made by a youtuber, than means he can promote it through his youtube or some channel he made (which is free, and easiler to get some positive comments from his followers). The true reality is... 80-90% of mobile games in the market are called "zombie" (yes, you can search for the related news with "zombie app in app store" or sth). Even you made an OK game, it is impossible to survive, the mobile game market is so crowded that most developers are fxxked, and most app became zombie 3 years before! And even you have some luck and made a living with 1 or 2 games, you are still in nightmare. Why? Because Google / Apple will change their search algorithm every 1 to 2 years, games that originally ranked OK can be doomed after they change something. You can try to searching for some mildly successful app or game (some even get "Recommended" in the app store when first launched), and many of them are doomed after 2 years. Because nobody cares, nobody is actually paying for something. And you even had to begged for the users to rate the game in the app store... The so called "freemium" thing is in fact just a tool to slave the developers making things to the app store for free!

DEJAVU You don’t have to know how to program to make games. You could get a job creating different assets/textures for games if you wanted to. Blender is a great tool to use, but some people just aren’t skilled enough to use it, so they look to hire people for their assets.

If your interested in making a second game. I would like for you to take a look at some of the sprites and ideas I have. Maybe we can combine the two? It's very similar too your style. If your interested, we can team up on discord? Just PM me and let me know? Thanks and good job on your mobile game.

The controller is little bit wonky which may make dodging bullet quite hard, other than that, health kit and shield spreads out evenly. Because of tight hallway force player play more aggressively into the big room. Nice!

About the monetization - it's very hard question - i think it's the one of the hardest ones for gamedev in general. You can just make "Pay to play" game where player have either grind resources to get new level or pay and pass that grind. But it'll anger the players : ( So, maybe, better leave monetization as is (publicity + cosmetics), but just make more games with same engine (part 2, part 3 e.t.c.) - it would be very cheap.
