Why Game Developer choose iOS than Android?
Android may just become the most popular OS in the world with a market share in the range of 60%. However, some game developers continue to prioritize the Apple iOS platform than Android. Why?
The category of best selling games like Angry Birs, Where's My Water? or Bridge Constructor first appeared in iOS. Before then visited Android.
Some developers said they will see first whether homemade successful iOS games before being inserted into the Android app store. Manufacturers game Waking Mars, David Kalina, said artificial game sold 140 thousand in 5000 only on iOS and Android.
One of the problems complained of game developers on Android is a high level of game piracy. And for developers with small budgets, they chose to focus on one platform only.
"We had to choose one platform as the main focus. IOS game to win because there are still making money and only had the device fragmentation problem in few problems," said Kepa Auwae of Rocketcat Games.
Apple so far has only released 20 different iOS devices, while Android devices are very diverse types and abilities. Open Signal app makers expressed his application is used in so many different Android devices.
"From the perspective of testing and quality, it's better if you just make a game to say the iPad 2 and the new version, compared to the many Android tablet you should buy and test," said Greg Kasavin of supergiant Games.
However, Android is increasingly the norm. Especially now there are technologies like Unity that makes porting games from iOS to Android easier.
"The popularity of Android is indisputable. So I think it is wise to pay attention," said Kasavin
