About the Episode

Show Notes

Outreach Strategies 

Three different ways Simon use to seek out different publishers are:

  • Google – search different app publishers to get their contact infos and just send them a message.
  • Forums- – post your new game and publishers scanning those forums will contact you.
  • Going through Featured games or Top Charts and downloading those games. Upon booting them up, you will get a logos of the publisher and the developer and reach out to them that way.

Key Mistake When Using Buildbox

Not thinking outside the box is one of the mistakes that people make when using Buildbox. They just grab a template and put the graphics in, which is basically just reskinning. You wouldn’t want to pitch a publisher a reskinned template of a game so as much as possible, break out and do something a little bit different. Not everything works but have courage to be unique when coming up with your games.
