• KISS – Keep It Simple Stupid1. People will NOT read2. 3 menu screens is 3 too many3. UI should be unnoticeable4. Game mechanics (for phones) must be INTUITIVE5. Men hunt and compete6. Women collect and cooperate7. Find the value in your game and charge for it

Rules for Game Design

Spend Time At Retail

Say what?

• Watch how people shop, this can help inform your presentation sales strategy

• We are not rational creatures• Ok I admit it, I liked the pink dinosaur • Your game is your retail product, design it to sell

22

Page 23: David Worle VP of Content Acquisition WildTangent Games How to Find Success on Android

Don’t drink the Kool-Aid

• All purchasable games need not be 99 cents• All successful games won’t only be in game purchase• Having your game in 1 location is not all you need
