Our upcoming Games in Asia meetup will be coming to you in Jakarta next week (yes, next week) with a very interesting topic at hand: “Getting your first million downloads.”
At the event Irwanto Widyatri, creator of the Indonesian hit game Tebak Gambar will share with us how drove his app into the millions range. Built while he was still in school, Widyatri’s game marched on to accumulate over three million downloads, and hit the top spot in Indonesia’s “Top Free Games” categories in the domestic App Store and Google Play store.
Widyatri will share tips on marketing, monetization, scaling, and technical matters. If you are curious get the dirt on how he turned a pet project into a popular casual game, join us on Wednesday, August 13, 2014 in Jakarta, Indonesia.
