Today the first enemy got created.
A ground attacking basic goblin.
Also I speed up the overall controls/movement and attack frequency / speeded up the animation. I just want it all to feel right before advancing to far.

I am following this one since a while and he just handed in his game to steam.
And now he requires your vote to reach the green light state.
His game stands out with a solid core gameplay as well as graphics and effects that serve it. It’s a blast to look at and is fun to play.
So Vote here:

I find this unique and inspiring games once a while and I will start sharing them here.
The selection criteria for what will be shown here are:
+ Indie preferred: They have to be indie preferred by a single individual but also small teams are accepted
+Self picked: The candidates will be chosen by myself based on my taste of games and will look for them via twitter under this hashtags #indiedev, #indiedevhour and #screenshotsaturday
+ Minimalistic art: The games have to be nailed down highlighting the core game mechanic, the graphics around should be used subtle to underline the theme but not go to wield in visual detail – distracting.
+Vibrant and Alive: While the detail depth should be kept simple their animations should bring them alive, making it exciting to look at the game. Feel alive and juicy.

Advertisers pay more to appear in games which audience is for them more relevant, more likely to join their game.
I experience a bitter demonstration of that right now and here are my two extrem cases.
Weekly Admob banner numbers:
As you see creepy has around 13x times more impressions by players, is generally played more and longer.
But it only made $1.28 and Brofist Legend $4.01.
If Creepy would have the rpm of Brofist it would have made 51,40 this week.
I wonder if there is any chance to increase the rpm of a game retroactive.
But I am afraid its just depending on your theme and keywords.
But overall I am simply happy that we have that extra monetization channel now specially since Android games had no such option before. Its not gigantic but still noticeable and helps me definitely paying my bills. So thanks game salad for adding it.
I learned something so I shared it here,
Cheerio Dave
