1 Know your audience

One of the most important aspects of creating and selling games is to understand who your target audience is, what they want, and how they behave. You need to conduct market research, analyze user data, and test your game with real players to get feedback and insights. You also need to segment your audience based on different factors, such as demographics, preferences, motivations, and spending habits. This will help you tailor your game design, features, content, and marketing messages to appeal to different groups of players and increase retention and monetization.

2 Choose your platform

Another key decision you need to make is which platform or platforms you want to develop and distribute your game on. There are many options available, such as PC, console, mobile, web, VR, AR, and cloud gaming. Each platform has its own advantages and disadvantages, such as reach, accessibility, performance, cost, and revenue potential. You need to consider your game genre, style, mechanics, and audience when choosing your platform. You also need to keep up with the latest developments and trends in the platform market, such as new devices, features, and opportunities.

3 Optimize your game

Once you have developed your game, you need to optimize it for the best user experience and performance. You need to ensure that your game runs smoothly, has no bugs or glitches, and meets the quality standards and requirements of your platform. You also need to optimize your game for different devices, resolutions, and regions, especially if you want to reach a global audience. You need to use tools and techniques, such as compression, caching, localization, and testing, to improve your game optimization.

All the creative effort in game design and content can be overshadowed if your game lags. Always prioritize performance throughout the development process. Keep a close eye on metrics like FPS, Memory, CPU, etc., and set benchmarks. It'd also be a wise move to automate these performance checks to run nightly, ensuring we catch any hiccups early on.

4 Market your game

Marketing your game is essential to attract and engage players, build awareness and reputation, and generate revenue. You need to have a clear and effective marketing strategy that covers all the stages of the game lifecycle, from pre-launch to post-launch. You need to use various channels and methods, such as social media, email, ads, influencers, events, and PR, to reach and communicate with your audience. You also need to measure and analyze your marketing results, such as downloads, conversions, retention, and revenue, to optimize your marketing efforts.

5 Monetize your game

Monetizing your game is the ultimate goal of any game developer or publisher. You need to have a viable and sustainable monetization model that matches your game genre, platform, and audience. There are many ways to monetize your game, such as premium, freemium, subscription, ad-supported, in-app purchases, microtransactions, and loot boxes. You need to balance your monetization strategy with your game design and user experience, to avoid alienating or frustrating your players. You also need to test and tweak your monetization elements, such as pricing, offers, and rewards, to maximize your revenue.

The gaming industry is constantly evolving and changing, with new technologies, trends, and opportunities emerging every day. You need to be flexible and adaptable, and always look for ways to innovate and iterate your game and your business. You need to follow the latest news and events in the gaming industry, and learn from the successes and failures of other games and companies. You also need to listen to your players and your community, and incorporate their feedback and suggestions into your game updates and improvements. You need to keep your game fresh and relevant, and offer your players new and exciting experiences and value.

Collaboration is Key. No game is built in a vacuum. It's a collaborative effort that often includes designers, developers, artists, and many other stakeholders. Foster a culture of open communication and teamwork. Utilize collaboration tools effectively to ensure that everyone is on the same page. Encourage interdisciplinary knowledge-sharing sessions to get fresh perspectives and problem-solving approaches. Remember it can take years to develop a great game and also takes a village.

Relevance is a huge determining factor of a game’s success. Does it continue to offer new & exciting ways to play & connect? Are there evolving strategies & metas that keep the game fresh? Trends may come & go. But staying at the forefront of innovation is how you continue to attract new players & retain existing players. Take Fortnite for example - arguably one of the most successful games of all time: constantly iterating on the game world & innovating core gameplay mechanics. Every patch that comes out feels like a new game in itself, compelling players to dive in, explore, play & learn what’s new. Having a solid feedback loop & community engagement is key to implementing feedback/suggestions! Players love influencing game dev!

Although this article is aimed more at teams and companies, individuals navigating their way in, through, or back in, as I am, to the gaming sector, should understand that they will be largely judged by their last game, no matter how much they actually contributed to its success or failure. To that I say, choose your projects wisely, always try to do your best work, and whatever criticism your game may get, try to be the first, during development, to shine a light on how it could be better. Cheers!
