Ask HN: Why my game studio failed?
Hello, My name is Henry Keller from Germany. Two years ago I started a indie game studio called "Gamodo Games" by myself without any help and I thought I could make a living with game development. I developed some causal games nothing fancy and nothing innovative but with a better production value then some other Top Games in the Windows phone market. With my game "Furry Jump" I even beat Doodle Jump and was in the top 10 over 4 weeks. All other games didn't get very popular maybe because of no marketing at all. I've won some prices but never got the attention from users. I've earned like 2000 maybe less.
so why my start-up failed? I'm mean, I know my games are not that awesome, but I saw worse games making more money then my games together. After one year I had to quit my business. I'm working for a marketing agency right know making games. And they give me the job because of gamodo games so it kinda worked out for the best, but I would like to know what did I wrong?
If someone have some constructive critics it would help me a lot.
