So you’ve got a killer game idea. Maybe it’s a retro-style platformer with a twist, or a chill farming sim with cozy vibes. Either way—you’re ready to build an app and launch it into the wild.
But here’s the thing: game dev isn’t just about killer mechanics or dope pixel art. If you want downloads, fanbase, and long-term growth, you need the full package: development, polish, optimization, and visibility.
This guide breaks down exactly how to turn your dream game into a fully functional app—whether you’re solo grinding or part of a small team.

Define the genre, platform, and gameplay loop
Sketch basic wireframes or mockups
