Image
Hi there, it's been a month since my last post here on my blog. I have so many topic to share here. However I'm pretty much busy nowadays with my thesis. Yes, it's a though life for a final year student like me :p. Anyway, I need your help to fill out my questionnaire here. The questionnaire is about freemium monetization model. Bit leak information, me and my friend are developing a freemium game right now. We're in 'tough' position where it's bit impossible to change about the gameplay for this time. So we decided to make a little research to discover the best combination of freemium element for a free-to-play game. This isn't applied just for our game only but I believe it'll be much helpful for other indie devs too who decided to go with freemium model. Freemium Model Monetization Research If you're a developer/ publisher want to fill out the questionnaire, that's okay and I really grateful for you. However, I hope you can p

[Opinion] Clone or Inspired?

Clone clone clone, it's an easy or probably the first word that out from y our mouth(s) while we're seeing a similar game pop out on the app store/ play store. Ironically, not few of us also knows more about the clone itself more than we know the original one. I'm a gamer who enjoy to play games on mobile, so I'm bit annoyed while in fact, most of my friends more know and play the clone version of the game rather than play the original one. Alright... so what's actually a clone is? Clone definition is a new thing that was made identically with the original one without even put some improvement inside it. Easy example, let's just take Flappy Bird game. Well, most of us know how the IronPants clones Flappy Bird, just few weeks after its released. Basically the first version of that game just a re-skin without effort to put anything else inside the game. It just turning the bird into superman alike.. Other examples are Timberman clones, Shredd clones,

Before I start, let's take a look on my upcoming mobile game wishlist . Checked, and as you can see, there's Seashine on the list. I'm pretty lucky can try the game first before its officially released. Right now, it's on beta session and planned to be released on August 23, 2015 for free on Android and Amazon. It'll be released on September 3, 2015 for the iOS version. So, what is Seashine? If you're too lazy, just skip this 'boring' text and watch my preview video below instead. However, if you want to read more intense paragraphs, just promise me, you won't missed any single word inside this post :p haha When I found out about this game last year, I'm pretty excited to play this game... since it has glowing effect inside... no just kidding. The game definitely looks pretty interesting with that jellyfish swimming around and try escaping from that creepy ugly fish. At first, I think it'll be a level based game since I

So, what's going on everybody? Unlike usual, this week wasn't excited enough for me. As an iOS gamer, every thursday is felt like a christmas day where you can find bunch of new games on the App Store. I'm not satisfied enough when I knew Stella was another AB series, meanwhile I hope Rovio can give us more than a slingshot game. Let's pray for Angry Bird Transformer will be a TPS game or may be RPG game. How about that Ubisoft game? Hmm, Valiant Heart is probably good, since my friend praised it so much for the console version of the game. However, well the game might not my cup of tea. So here is my watchlist or wishlist (or whatever it called) from now till the end of 2014  2015. Ps: The article will be update regularly as soon as there're more interesting games on my radar ;) Second Update (May 17, 2015) Sequenced by Apelab The concept of this game really blow out my mind. I mean I can't wait to play a VR alike with my iPad. Actually there
