The Secret Sauce to Making a Viral iOS Game - Ken Woo
Going viral, the dream of developers everywhere. In this talk, we'll be exploring the idea of hitting it big with a game in the iOS App Store. We'll take a look through history to see how games have evolved in their attempts to make money and where the situation stands now in 2016. We'll also be looking at what we can do as indie developers to jump in on this ship and whether or not there is a secret recipe for success. Hint: I'm not making millions in the App Store.
