Android Game Developments and Monetize Journey [0$ to 100$/day]

So here is a great update ! :)
After reading some books, lots of tutorial videos and hands on tutorials, I am finally working on my first game which I intend to take till publishing on playstore. It is On Unity . It is a platformer /Puzzle with a Twist.
I love the idea , maybe because it is my own idea ..haha! But I am working on it now.

Because of my day job I do not get to spend as much time on this as I would want to but still giving it my best. The best part is I am liking what I am doing. And as some people here suggested also as I searched need to set up a marketing budget too . It still will take some months for game to go near completion.

But I wished to update this thread so all may know this journey is very much alive.

Gaming is one of the most difficult niches but good luck nonetheless. My tip is to leverage viral and feedback loops, great replayability factor, and target your users carefully. Please do an update when you start doing app marketing and app store optimization.
 
Update: Another month as passed learning and developing. Now I am almost done with the mechanics of game. It is a puzzle + Platformer game. Still would take atleast a few months for being ready to go live. Also need to have a marketing Strategy in place. Best of all I am enjoying it . :)

Happy Independence Day to Indian Brothers.. :)
 
My first game is near to completion . Here is a screenshot

I am starting this thread to keep a track of my progress and also get useful insights from good people of this forum.

I learnt java in school , loved it and later after my college took job in an IT firm as Java developer. Now it has been a year in my job. I want to ponder into Game Development and learn , develop games and be successful as a Game developer. Then leave my job maybe.

I already have this --->
1. Java Knowledge (Intermediate)
2. Libgdx - Java game Framework Knowledge(Beginner)
3. Can arrange some funds to pay for this venture from salary but not too much as I have other expenses.

Doing Currently:
Learning Libgdx Framework as much as I can in after time from my job. Taking help from these books.
  • LibGDX Cross-platfrom Game Development Cookbook by David Saltares Marquez
  • LibGDX Game Development By Example by James Cook
My company provides me with a free membership of SafariBooks hence was able to get these books for free. :)

What I need ?
Google Developer Account (25$) -- As I am still away from actually having completed a game to be published so not a priority as of now.
Graphics /Art Work -- I either need someone to partner up with me for Graphics and artwork or I will have to use free ones or spend money on buying some graphics. Can do so not much issues.


I have also opened a JV thread (Awaiting Moderation as of now) to bring up anyone else wanting to begin in learning Android Java Game Development .We can connect through skype and maybe speed up our learning. :)

Took a off from office to think more about my whole plan and organize my journey plans.

Another Game Developer from India:).Where do you live?
Not that you might not be already knowing but still my as a word of advice I hope you have a proper marketing and advertising strategy in place because 'making' a game is actually the simpler part.
