If you stifle that creativity, and say, “You must do it my way,” you're likely to lose a lot of people pretty quickly. One of the best ways to avoid the conflict between the business side of things - which demands creativity according to a specific timetable - and the creative side, is to suggest that your creatives give you their own timetable, rather than asking them to hew to one that the business people made. This increases accountability and personal responsibility, and also does wonders for the company culture. The most important element in choosing a partner is to make sure that you have the same vision. If every detail is perfect but you each see the end goal differently, then the partnership will fall apart, with potentially disastrous results. When you work together with a partner, you absolutely must hammer out the details in advance, and put them in writing - even if your partner is your best friend in the world - so that you both understand what's expected of each of you. If you don't, the business may fall apart - or on the contrary, it may work great, but you're doing all the work even though you're splitting the profits.

Gameplay mechanics are reminiscent of popular casual puzzle games, with a focus on metagame progression. Monetization strategies include in-app purchases, but ad revenue appears limited. The game is compared to others in the genre, highlighting similarities and differences in mechanics. User retention may be a challenge due to the game's simplistic nature. We question the game's long-term viability and player motivation. Demographics indicate a strong revenue stream from tier-one countries. The game has the potential for future updates and expansions to enhance gameplay. Despite some reservations, we are cautiously optimistic about the game's success. Hybrid casual games borrow mechanics from hypercasual games. --------------------------------------- Please share the podcast with your industry friends, dogs & cats. Especially cats! They love it!
