Yodo

You've spent thousands of hours making your game and now you're finally ready to publish. But when it hits the app stores, will it top the charts or will it bomb?

In our highly competitive marketplace, great code, gameplay, and design are no guarantee of success. Turning your title into a hit takes an understanding of business fundamentals such as marketing, community, and monetization—plus a lot of testing.

Over the past nine years at Yodo1, I've had the privilege of working with hundreds of game devs to reach more than 1.5 billion mobile gamers around the world. My team and I have had to learn the business of gaming the hard way, and we'd like to share our findings with you.

We’ve distilled years of experience into one short course, the Business of Mobile Gaming (BoMG) Master Class.

From the beginning, my dream was to create a way for every talented developer out there to transform their games into profitable businesses. That's why we'll be premiering the full BoMG Master Class for free throughout the whole event, inside our Yodo1 virtual booth.

In this session, we'll be focusing on one of the main topics covered in the course: monetization. We’ll dive into the key principles of how to turn your game into a money-making business and discuss how to design a game economy for effective monetization, balance Ads and IAP in mobile game economies, and make money with games that are fully free-to-play.

How do you find the right publisher for your game? And how do you prepare a pitch that will convince them to work with you?

In this talk, Sonali will outline everything you need to prepare for a successful pitch, share insights on the key metrics publishers look for, and give you details on the materials and prototype you’ll want to present.
