TC&TC Android version!


I have made an Android version of “The Clock & The Chaos”. It’s free with no ads or IAP. If you like this game, you may want to check it out on Google Play:

I’d like to spend a couple of words about how Google Play works, some words of warning for fellow game developers mostly: Google Play is very unfriendly to newcomers and indies. If you don’t get a good amount of installations, reviews and ratings you get basically no visibility.

When I say “no visibility” I mean that if you searched on Google Play for “the clock & the chaos” without double quotes, my game was the 22nd on the list until yesterday. Today is at 8th position, probably because I reached around 30 installations, mostly from people I know personally. The other games on the list are less relevant for the search but get a better position because of their popularity.
So if you plan to release something there, be prepared to invest time and money in marketing.

I’m talking about money because basically most of the sites that review Android apps and games have paid options to get promoted. You come across a lot of sites which do questionable things for money: good reviews for money, featured on the homepage for money, positive reviews on Google Play for money…
So if you have no budget for marketing, you are pretty screwed. If you are an hobbist like me and you don’t plan to invest or gain anything, you are pretty stuck.

Of course there are exceptions to this, but keep in mind that for every Flappy Bird there are a million games that no one has never heard of.

Been working lately on lots of 'behind-the-scenes' boring stuff that no one really cares about, so here’s a guy playing the sax for some reason.

Here's a peaceful little forest scene for this #screenshotsaturday, from the beginning of the game.

We made a lot of improvements on the Freezing Plains visual. Things like pine trees, tiny bushes, some rocks, and others game props!

Hi everyone! I started to create some environment props for my new video game, here is a cozy house in the forest. I'm planning to switch from Unity to Unreal... Let's see what new challenges I have to face. Made in Blender and Substance Painter.

If you have more of an acquired taste, the restaurants in Niravasi have you covered! Maybe skip the salad bar, though.

Made my first ever animation.

I did this on my 3DS ^^ #Kirby
