Today I will talk about another issue that usually not only start-up`s but a lot of businesses, companies, especially guys who just started taking place in the game industry don`t think about.
THE POWER OFF SETTING GOALS!
We just had the same issue not long ago; basically we knew our goal but never put it don on a White Paper and set our outcome. We did everything but see where are we heading.
Creating games and learning is not easy, but is not the only thing u need to do. The game industry in our days is quite big and easy to get into but still a lot off Start-up`s don`t successed, for the simple reason that they don`t take it as every other business and don`t set goals. Most off them think that u get into it, just because I can a game and u are a big hit, that`s a BIG NO NO!
There is so much into it more then that, u have to be on top like any other business and do the same steps only in an online world, but other then that a game creation is only 30%, there is selling, advertising, making sure that your game works, updating content, not even talk about your business or company paper work, u have to upload your game on different kind off platforms, etc.… but all about this on a different blog post promise!!!
Our main purpose is to help everyone just getting started.
And your 1st ever thing to do should be set your goal with an outcome and a date which you can not pass! Set a goal like developing 1st game and give it a date let`s say 2018.03.29, but make sure that u are realistic at all times don`t set something like in 1 day cause that is only stupid and will never work. Then after u set it work on it, don`t think to much grab a pen or in modern days lot off people do in on there MacBook or Laptop and write about it, how you want it to be, how will look like, feel like, how it is going to make the people that buy it feel (this is good even when you think about your audience, who you want it to be), how do you know it will work and how should it be finishing, etc.… many more stuff u can wright and don`t forget to be specific as u can be. Off course meanwhile it might change but at least you know what you want and when you want it. Not everything will come thru only the things you will work on. YES U HAVE TO WORK ON IT! Writing it down just sets your outcome and your goal.
Do not do the same mistake and be smarter then everyone else, like we did as well, learn out off our experience and be smart. We off course are not saying that there are no other ways to do it, but this is the way we know it and this is what works for us know. If you have any other ideas feel free to share with us, we are a Start-Up as well and let us help together and be part of the game industry, let`s take part of the revolution together, it is easier and we probably will save a decade.
Next we will talk about other things as well like how to set your customer base and how to advertise smartly as a start-up, how to manage your team, how to motivate them, and much more. Or if you want us to write about anything please just feel free and let us know, we are here to help, we love thinking that maybe somewhere what we do and say helps someone out and makes there life easier, we never had that but we would like to be one.
