Hi fellow Indie devs! I'm asking your opinion to a question, that at least should have crossed everyones mind at some point of development.
What do you personally or otherwise think, are the factors, that affect the success of a game, especially an original IP? What factors do you think makes a game reach Top grossing lists? What are the current trends that give the game the right "sauce"?
This is of course partially different on mobile and desktop platforms, but let's discuss in general, covering both.
On mobile, it seems that short game sessions and good fun factor, topped with good visuals, is a package that goes places. Seems quite obvious yes, but are these enough?
on desktop play sessions last usually longer, but dedicated play sessions are required, compared to whipping out your phone on a bus. Then why play on desktop?
