    Hey all. I started a youtube channel a couple of months ago about unity game development for iphone and android, including the business aspects of game development such as monetization, marketing, SEO tips etc.

    I wanted to start a thread here so I just add to it each time I do a new video, or if anyone has any questions I can answer them all in the same thread.

    I've put the latest video below and a couple others from a few weeks ago. I hope you find these useful. If you have any questions please drop a comment below or in the video and I'll do my best to get back to you.

    Happy Developing :)

    Just added a video which gives some tips on getting more downloads on the Google Play market. Basically adding more languages to the description can increase the number of downloads in different regions.

    Please let me know if this was useful or drop a comment if there's something you'd like me to talk about further.

    Happy Developing :)

    Hey everyone. I just finished a new video yesterday and adding it to the thread. It shows how to add amazon app store in app purchases to a unity game. A few people asked me to do a tutorial on this as it can be a little complicated, especially the JSON testing part - at least it was complicated for me, lol.

    Please let me know if you have any questions by commenting below or in the video. Here's the link:

    You just remineded me of an idea I once had with your killer shotting sniper X whatever thing. Thanks.

    Do you think the ads are good? How much money do you get with it? Do you think people would like your app better if there wasn't any ad?
