We’re looking to update/replace all of our current sound effects on our finished mobile game ‘IRON FINGER’.

We feel the current sound effects in our games are not family friendly (loud harsh gun noises). We are looking for someone that could create a whole new set of SFX that complements our game’s graphics and soundtrack, while also maintaining the quick pace of our mini games.

Guiding points for the new sounds:
•   Fun
•   Family Friendly
•   Arcade genre
•   Quick pace
•   Blends in with current soundtrack.

If interested, please download the game (it’s free) and available on both iOS and Android.

Create a gameplay video of ONE of our stages with the SFX replaced. You don't have to replace all of the sounds, just whatever you feel fits best. This gives us an idea of the direction you will take with the rest of our stages.

If you feel you are right for this job, please contact me through email (no PMs). To be considered for this job, you must have a portfolio or provide samples.

[Is this legal and are there any fees/forms/certificates I need to attain to promote this competition?]

Hi guys,
 
We are thinking about promoting a competition to help launch our mobile game.
The prize-pool will be ~$10,000 USD and it will be free to enter.
It will be available worldwide and the winner will be paid through PayPal.
 
The winners will be decided based on skill - how well they score in our game.
We will verify results through Apple's Game Center.
 
 
My question is:
Is this legal and are there any fees/forms/certificates I need to attain to promote this competition?
 
Thanks!

Hi! Looking for someone who has experience in designing Facebook Web Banners - especially for a pixelated style game.

Facebook Web Banners:
• Recommend games on homepage: 155 x 100 pixels
• General use: 1200 x 627 pixels
• Cover Image: 800 x 150 pixels
• Homepage editor pick: 1848 x 682 pixels.

Look under "Web Banners" for a clearer idea:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/games/appcenter/tutorial

I will provide you with most of the artwork (if not all) to assist you in creating these banners. So you would really only need to put everything together nicely and make backgrounds for them.

If I am happy with the outcome, I have many other banners that needs to be done as well (YouTube, Twitter, Ads, etc).

If interested, please send me a PM or email to: [email protected]
Please also send me a link to your portfolio and include your $ rates.

Thanks!

Since our game requires touch gestures (tapping, swiping, tilting etc) - we are having trouble capturing screenshots of some of the action sequences in our game.

The standard 2 button technique is impossible to execute while simultaneously trying to tap/swipe in the game (to activate the desired action screen sequence).
The accessibility button also doesn't work - takes too long & impossible to do while requiring taps/swipe 

Do any of you guys know an alternative method that requires us to only press 1 button.
Or maybe an app that lets us do this?

Hi guys,

Wanting to localize our mobile game. 
Does anyone know of a reputable translation site that is also not too expensive?

Only need about 150 words, from English to 10 other languages.
It will be used just for in our App Description part.

Thanks!

Thanks for the video, found that very interesting and insightful.
Scary as though as HG stated, I don't think it will apply directly to us, though it will have some impact (as our banner ads will be wasted on fake accounts as well  ).

@HG: Our game is very similar to Hardest Game Ever 2, a series of mini games. Our game will be launched only on the iOS market initially and it will be paid only - so the goal is to get profit through paid downloads.

Looks like we will be spending our marketing $ on Facebook advertising & iAds.
And also maybe a little on ChartBoost - I have heard good things about them from other forums, esp for mobile games. I'm not too sure how effective all this is for a PAID game though.

As part of the process to submit an app, Apple states that "You will also need to provide a URL to a support site or to your main website."

Could we use our Twitter or Facebook page? 

Combed through the net and found this link to be pretty useful:
http://www.mobyaffiliates.com/blog/what-are-the-best-cost-per-install-app-and-mobile-game-marketing-networks/

Thinking about using: Chartboost, Facebook & iAds to promote our iOS mobile game.

Hope you guys found this link useful, and anyone with inputs/experience to share using these marketing platforms would be greatly appreciated 

Hi guys,

We are about to launch our first game soon on the iOS market for Xmas

As well as promoting through twitter, review sites, etc, - We want to spend a little bit on PAID marketing ($4,000 USD max).

Does anyone have any results/info (or link) to determine how effective paid marketing is through iAds/Facebook/Google?
More specifically info on install % for $ spent rather than just visit traffic alone.

Thanks!
