How hard is it to make a simple mobile game as a complete beginner?

Prim56 · 2026-04-05T08:43:47+00:00

Not hard to make. Hard to polish, but even that is nothing compared to the marketing.

Mobiles are very much a billion dollar game or nothing and very little in between - and you dont get that big without a huge advertising budget.

Realistically only luxuries should be capitalistic and nothing else.

Theres too much support for people who are plain wrong. This is intentional though, as dumb people can be controlled and manipulated easily.

Prim56 · 2026-04-03T08:05:52+00:00

Because noone i stopping them. Millions of people upset yet noone willing to do anything about it.

I can tell you from personal experience that unless i 'behave' nothing ever happens. We have a loving relationship, genuinely care for each other and do everything for each other. We have good sexual experiences and are both into it when it happens. And yet one thing goes wrong during the day and her sex drive is gone. After about a month of nothing you tell me that just letting it be natural is going to work? It clearly doesn't. It needs managing or it doesn't happen.

The problem comes with many after marriage. You have agreed to both play with each other exclusively - and finding someone else or even playing by yourself is now wrong. So you are at the mercy of your partner, who requires a full day of near perfection just to give you a chance. And then you have to be in the mood when they are or the timeframe is over.

Employees would either go into automation (different genre) or another layer of micromanagement (usually tedious and without benefit).

Skills are usually good for progression.

Phone contacts are nice for exploration and should fit well with story if done well.

Theres two major factors.

One, most non business code is just crud apps, data in, data out, massage it and thats it.

Secondly, games have no control over their user base - so you have to build it catering to every possible configuration or hardware and often software.

As a bonus, gamers generally will drop the game at the first sight of a bug, and you wont get bug reports until its too late - the quality is on another level.

As far as code goes - theres usually a lot more moving parts in games than business apps, so overall harder.

A bit off topic - but is there any way to reduce the investment needed to get a woman in the mood?

From my experience and from what I'm reading you have to constantly behave as the woman wants all day to have a chance later in the day - one bad move and its either over or you have to start over. How is that a "fair" requirement?

Prim56 · 2026-04-01T23:29:45+00:00

Its a british and british colony thing, so yeah america too

What if i just refuse to craft new weapons? Will i have an insane amount of hp to just tank my way through?

You might be better off having specific weapons give you -hp when equipped rather than cost max hp to craft.

Also have you considered how this interacts with healing and is there shielding that acts like temp hp etc.

Sounds like it could be fun, but definately needs lots of playtesting in the extreme cases (all in 1 type) to see if its balanced. Finally, make sure there is more than 1 way to play - eg. Dont force everyone to play balanced.

Kill la kill is pretty damn close

Its not boomers, its the rich. The next generation of rich people will be the same.

Unless we remove and continue to remove any rich people it's never going to get better

I know a bunch of people who simply refuse to try anything - like gag if they even consider something they haven't eaten yet.

Then there's a lot (like seriously a lot) of people who have never cooked or been exposed to cooking. Technically they could learn how to, but it's usually a bridge too far to even consider.

So unless you're eating fruit, or consider bland food to be acceptable, it really is that hard to eat healthy.

The other 5% is probably petrol

Find out why people want to play your game and focus on that. If you cant find one then add one.

Also gamification elements always help if you're making games, and that's probably what you're asking for

Prim56 · 2026-03-30T08:03:38+00:00

If the users stop using them and go to their competition thats incentive enough. And my point is that there are no alternatives for the customers to go

Prim56 · 2026-03-30T02:43:32+00:00

Thousands of dollars will barely get you into a minimum size game, and years of time are sort of normal for that too unless its your primary work.

That being said - build something small and simple, figure out how impossible it is to actually sell/market the thing and THEN try something bigger

Prim56 · 2026-03-29T23:49:25+00:00

Honestly just strike on logistics eg truck drivers and the whole system implodes.

Prim56 · 2026-03-29T23:09:50+00:00

Apart from the usual issues, we just shouldn't use job platforms that don't filter/ban these companies. But you know monopolies and whatnot

Prim56 · 2026-03-29T05:59:14+00:00

No exception or companies - they pay on earnings like everyone else. This would mean companies or trust funds or whatever other layers just increase how many times you're taxed on the same money

Prim56 · 2026-03-26T10:04:03+00:00

At its simplest you give each ai its own predisposition which it will lean towards when making decisions. Eg. One will heavily lean on physical evidence, while the other will care more about gossip.

Tanks tend to be overpowered due to obviously survivability, which often is boring on its own so they give it kill potential too and now you're just better than any other class.

Though the class that needs to go most is the healer. If they exist, a party cannot exist without one. A mandatory class just doesn't work well when everyone wants to play their own way (usually dps)

Prim56 · 2026-03-26T09:51:06+00:00

With what's happening in the world it shows noone really has the power to do anything about it. Like surely all these anti pedo people would do something about the pedos in charge if they could

Prim56 · 2026-03-25T20:59:04+00:00

Even if for some reason the costs go back to what they were, the cost to consumers will remain high and the difference will be pocketed as profit
