Games in Asia meetup Jakarta: getting your first million download

Games in Asia meetup will be coming to you in Jakarta next week (yes, next week) with a very interesting topic at hand. One that all indie gaming studios will be very interested to find out: “Getting your first million download.”

At our upcoming GIA Meetup Irwanto Widyatri, creator of Indonesian hit-game, Tebak Gambar will share with us how he did it. Built while he was still in school, Widyatri’s game marched on to garner over three million downloads. The puzzle-like game, released in December last year, hit the top spot on the Indonesian App Store and Google Play under the “Top Free games” category.

Widyatri will share this tricks and tips including marketing, monetization, scaling, and technical matters. If you are curious to hear from him, join us on Wednesday, August 13, 2014 in Jakarta, Indonesia.
