022: Behind the Scenes - Reasons why as Game Developers, you should revisit your old games.

For all you seasoned game developers out there, when September time rolls around and Apple releases new devices and iOS versions, more often than not we need to update something to ensure our old games still work correctly.   Whilst this can be a pain the you know what, it can actually be turned into a positive, and a time to revisit our old games, breathe some life back into them and bring them up to date.

021: Design Constraints - Why designing under constraints will make you a better game designer.

Working under constraints, especially in a creative field, can be a challenging but highly effective way to build up your inventiveness. Often when starting out a project, setting some kind of constraint can force you into action and get your brain thinking in a different way.   For instance, it’s time to start a new game project. “Let’s now build a game.”   You’re at your workspace.. Cool… erm… yeah… so… yeah… erm…   Now, let’s imagine you put some constraints on the project:   “Let’s build a game with only 2 colours” or “Let’s build a game in 48 hours” or “Let’s build a game with only Triangles.”   By starting with some constraints in place, whatever they be can be a hugely powerful jump point to get those creative juices flowing.  Visit us for the Full Show Notes & Links to all the Resources: Website: RisingHighAcademy.com   We truly do appreciate you taking time out of your day to listen and hope you got some value.

020: Websites and Press Kits - As Game Developers, is it Essential to have a Website & Press Kit for your Mobile Games?

We had an interesting question come in this week from Podcast listener Stuart, so we decided to have a chat about just how essential having a website and press kit is for your games.   Stuart says:   “I’m half way through building my game and I’m starting to have a think about marketing. Do I need a website and press kit for my game and is it something worth doing anyway?”   Great question! We answer this and more...

019: App Store Research - 3 Reasons Why Researching the App Store is Critical for Mobile Indie Game Developers.

Browsing around on the App Store has been part of our daily routine pretty much ever since we first started building our games. The App Store is the playground we play in, and thus it’s super important to keep a keen eye on the market. With the Store refreshing each Thursday, it’s always a bit of a buzz to have a good look around at just who the movers and shakers are, and what’s working right now.
