Deleted 25 Apps in total within one Week

So since the last post (2 posts below) I kept on looking at my app portfolio. And kept deleting the weakest apps day by day.
Until I reached the point where there where only quality apps left but still some of them do not generate the downloads or money I could expect of apps I can create now. So with a hard feeling I also deleted good apps like:

-2014 Goal Keeper
-Curvy
-Darkslide
-Three Levels
-All points
-1 Power
-redDot Tap
-Ben Bear
-Kittys Wonderland

It will help to keep the focus on what works best and not be distracted with this small side ideas, because I know I will delete them. The weakest have to go.

Increasing the Quality of my App Portfolio

I reached my 40th launched app within under 2 years, a lot of learnings have been made since the first titles. And some of them do not longer stand the quality that I want to represent and also don’t perform significant enough to leave em within my app portfolio. So its time to delete some apps in order to improve the overall quality of what my name (David Zobrist) stands for.

The first Apps which will be permanently removed are:

The Sha Man
2013: My very first launched app as indie game developer

The Sha Cat
2013: The Rpg game I put months of love into it..it did not work out..its time to say goodbye

Stone Age – Survival Hunter
2013: One of my earliest arcade games

1 Cruise
2013: Geometric endless runner game

Fresh Road
2014: A childish reaction on the big success of my apple featured app Three Points

Bubbels
2014: A simple reaction game

Long Tongue
2014: Simple snap the flies arcade game

23 Points

2014: Trippy Stuff

Booze Tower
2014: Tapping shooting something..

Six Points 
2014: Color Matching with geometric shapes, Three Points is the big one so this one can go

Four Points

Gamesalad supports now adMob Banner Ads – What does that mean? Money!

So far all my almost 40 gaming apps had no banner advertising on android while having iAD Banners for the iOS Versions.
Each month iAD Banners on iOS generated around 200 to 300 Euro but on Android nothing came from Banners only from interstitial Pop ups served by Chartboost (main revenue stream).
So I was missing out on roughly 50% of what I could earn with Banner ads, Gamesalad now launched their new update today added the option to add these Admob Banners for the Android Versions of the game.

As you can imagine im hammering out the android updates of my top performing 6 apps as fast as I can now to get that money rolling. Cant wait to see the first results 🙂
I like money.

I thought about why jokes make us happy

This is my humble idea.

A joke loosens/breaks constrains of a specific thought context and we all would love to losen up our tight thinking. A tight thinking which is of pragmatical nature since we had/have to survive and think „straight“.
Comedians often hear „your going to far“ as they hit on strong established mental walls which could lead to danger.

But also in a regular social small talk context the joke jumps out of the regular thought box. This expansion makes us happy, its a tension release.

At-least this was my conclusion when I was high.
And i still think it makes sense.
