PlayStation Mobile Thread of Indie Games, and Apps on Android/Vita

billsmugs said:
With all the negativity surrounding sales figures I'm looking forward to seeing how it sells (especially as this is the first commercial game I've released), but keeping my expectations low. Personally if I make back the cost of the publisher license plus my website domain cost then I'll consider it a success, but I hope Sony work on things like extra regions and improved PSN integration to make it a more viable platform. Improved performance (possibly by phasing out the lower end Android devices from the PSM certification) would be handy as well, and might be necessary with the upcoming Unity support.

Our post about Tileogo got on the PSBlog last week. So hopefully more people know about it.

Nice. Store update came earlier than expected.

Sorry to everyone about the price. I noticed it was too high before it went up but after it changed to preparing for release, at which point I couldn't change it anymore. The moment it went up I could input a new one, which has now finished review and is preparing for release. I guess we'll have to wait for the next store update for the lower price to be reflected in the store. I hope it doesn't take two weeks as with the first time...

If you're interested at all in purchasing the game I recommend waiting until then!

It's kinda nice to see your own game on your Vita home screen:



:) No need to go to the PSM app first as on Android.

You don't need to go on PSM app first on Android :) Long press on the game's icon in the PSM app and hit "Create shortcut" and you can put an icon on your homescreen :)

That's not too bad then. Now more people need to start using PSM on their certified devices. Anyone know if it is pre installed yet?
 
For anyone interested, so far brg made most of its sales on launch day, followed by Saturday. More than half of all sales came from Japan. Canada bought more than either US or Europe combined.

Thanks again for the Q&A. I will check out PSPminis for their upcoming review as well.

Thanks for the stats, that's interesting :) Has it done as much as you hoped/expected it to?

I'll buy it when the price goes down, seeing as you warned us :P

Also rather ashamed of how much i like Penguin Party ;_;
 
Wonder if Canada buying more is a result of hungry Vita gamers or the Xperia ZL being supported by most carriers.

He also included this string of binary

A hint: "there's enough info in that picture to reveal a certain date..."

Well they're rather modest sales. Partially due to the price, obviously. I think since in Japan digital pricing isn't as aggressive as over here people might be more willing to spend more on a digital game there. Or there might be just more Vita/Playstation certified phone users in Japan, idk.

The sign of a quality software platform



Thinking you bricked your Vita every time you update a game.

Question: Did Surge always take like 2min to boot?
Click to expand...

No but I randomly started it up last night, which is weird since you just mentioned it, and I waited over a minute for it to start before I gave up and closed the game. Odd.
 
I was wondering if GW was the reason but I didn't think they would let that affect world wide stores. Apparently it did though.

So brg is still 400 yen and now practically gets all its sales from Japan, lol. Speaking about the last two days. But it also got sales from Australia and the UK on Monday (and the US, but that wasn't a first).

Brg has banner ads on the JP store. Didn't notice them on others.
 
Really? I knew it had banner ads in Japan since that is the store I'm seeing on my Vita but I didn't know there were none in the other regions. Good to know.

Well, my Xperia comes back from repair today and it is easier to switch accounts with it so I'll check Germany and US myself later.

Now how do I get banner ads outside Japan...
 
Today's fun fact

52% of the games on the service did not see any new ratings in the past week. 91% of the games saw less than 5 new ratings.

this is for the US store

Games with 5 or more new ratings
Beats Trellis - $0.79
ZooZooGo! - Free
Bullion Blitz - Free
Lemmings - Free
Quiet, Please - $0.99
Penguin Party - Free
Kung Fu Fight - $1.49
 
Yeah obviously very few rate games. XMPT said Penguin Party has passed 4500 downloads. Only has like 20 ratings.

After you purchased the game, go back to its page and you can choose a star score for it.

If anyone bought brg and liked it, I'd be glad if you gave it a good score, thanks!

Sales update: Have been getting a few sales from Australia lately. Nice.
 
Add another to the list from australia.

Any other games to look out for on PSM? Grabbed haunt the house and had a go at that, it's a bit long for what the points system is. Funnish though.
