I shipped 12 small indie games in 12 months

Thanks for sharing this! Do you have any metrics on how each of the games did? Effort vs traction, etc.

"Never have a zero day"

This is written on a post-it and stuck on my laptop. Completely agree with you that even 15 minutes is a win. Great advice.

Interesting read! Very impressive.

What's more interesting is that you still use the old Reddit theme :o

Last year I hadn't shipped any indie games in years. So in 2022 I set a New Year's resolution to ship 12 small but complete hobby indie games with https://apkstates.com/ , one each month. With a full time job and kids this was an aggressive goal.
This month I hit my goal and shipped my 12th game. To my surprise one of them was even picked up as Official Selection in Out of Index Festival.
I wanted to share some lessons I learned in case it was helpful to anyone else:

What a great achievement. Hats off to your dedication. I would suggest that if you have gone through that much and made your app worth for users you must promote your app called AppsHive. Where you will get a chance to list your app on three different segments and you can increase your downloads by 43%. Have a look: https://www.appshive.co/

Very great story, thank for sharing this :D

Thanks for sharing these insights!
How was the cycle for each game? e.g. would you work on developing for 20 days, and then focus for 10 days on marketing/release/sharing?

Inspiring to see someone else with a full-time jobs and kids setting and meeting ambitious goals 🤝 awesome stuff!

That's great and honestly so motivating, Thank you for sharing :)

what I'm curious about is how you go about marketing your games? Is there a specific social media platform that has given you great results? do you build in public?

Awesome article and I just checked out some of your games - Flight club is 👍 Well done on doing these. I'm not a developer but your advice applies to anyone working on any kind of passion project, and it's exactly the motivation I need right now.
