LIVE: How to make killer games
Hey Guys,
Last year I spoke at App Code 2011 on how to create killer games.
In this live presentation, I break down my formula for creating gameplay types that are fun and monetize well. I also dive in and do some hacker research in front of the audience on big successful games.
I had totally forgot about this recording and stumbled onto it again the other day… Hope you enjoy!
Talk soon,
Trey

Trey… mopv… still exists?

Mopv? You mean MoPub maybe?
Hello,
great video , enjoyed every tiny bit of it, but i have a Question, the temple run part where u explaining how they have a linkshare redirection that makes whoever click it get a cookie on their iPhone/pc…. doesnt that consider as cookie stuffing which is illegal “according 2 all websites” ?? and if not plz tell me how is it different from cookie stuffing….
Thanks ^_^
Whenever I’ve heard people talk about cookie stuffing it’s when affiliates are competing for something. This is just a link they have in their apps and on twitter/facebook, so I wouldn’t think it’s an issue.

Hey Trey,
Great video! I hear you mention in the video about making your game paid to start with to get some data etc, you then said that it will get pick up by websites or apple once you then turn it to free – How does this work?

We would appreciate a lot any kind of feedback.
Best!
Hi Trey, Awesome Vid mate, what would you generally pay a graphic designer who is of the standard you require first up? $30 an hour? $20? feel free to respond via my email if you don’t want to discuss rates on the page..
Appreciate your time mate. Thanks again. Dan
Very cool stuff Trey, I’ve already watched it twice and posted your link in my AE Facebook group. Here’s something I and others would love to know:
What search criteria do you use to find killer game designers on oDesk?
Very cool! Lots of new ideas in my mind!
Going to be the next killer game
I think the Merlino Designer style is awesome. What do you think ?
The video exceeded my expectations. You re an excellent public speaker. I m not a game developer but when I get your mails I actually have never been disappointed after clicking through… cool stuff.
I create games , only they are casino table games. Jyst need sponsor
Hi Trey,

Are you planning any app development bootcamps/workshops? Do you offer game app consulting?
Just stumbled upon your blog (wow) Know nothing about this but am very interested . Do you have introductory info courses etc
Hey Trey… where’s the video?
I see people are posting comments having watched it but there hasn’t been a video on the page for me since you sent out the link?
Matt
