HoangNguyen 0 Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Hello everybody, We have contacted several html game portals such as softgames, armorgames, and spil games to sponsor our completed game yesterday, and has not heard back from them yet today. Does anybody who had some experience with dealing with the publishers have an estimated time frame of how long this whole process take? We are planning to list our games directly on app stores next weekend if we do not hear back from any of them; or should we wait for a bit longer? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
end3r 197 Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 This can take from half an hour to half a year. Usually a few days up to a few weeks, often never. It's really hard to estimate, have to be considered case by case. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mazoku 38 Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 At least a week to contact them. Month to two to make a deal. The bigger the slower. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
claydev 16 Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Same here. I'm done reaching out. Some people end up trying to make a deal with me though. I guess as long as I am around, they will find me (or make them find me). I just leave my game(s) site-locked on my website and let anyone pass by and keep making something new. This isn't my first time doing this. Back in 2014, even when these publishers were hot on HTML5 (news over millions of dollars poured over this potential), 2 of my games still take from a week to a month to reach out, and another month to make a deal just like mazoku said. Meanwhile I already have my plan B set up just like you. I am about to publish mine to Play Store (but I got stuck with my second game so I'll just focus on that first). Unrelated, but even my second game will be mobile native first, and web second (probably after WebAssembly and WebGL 2.0 is officially, widely available). Right now I'm focusing more on publishing on my own. Besides, I'm providing non-exclusive licensing so people can still try to make a deal even if the game is already in Play Store. Let's just say Play Store and App Store are actually one of those publishers to reach out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
b10b 224 Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 If there's no reply within a week, probably move on? I agree with @toraleca - better to be discoverable and let anyone interested find us. So every backlink, every share, and every quality game out there helps build traction ... beyond just Sponsors / Portals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HoangNguyen 0 Posted March 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 Thank you for the input all! I guess I will give it a week after first contact. Every day that passes by is opportunity cost to earnings. I have checked out your games. All very polished. Looks like I have a lot to learn from yall still! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
