Mobile Game Development – From Prototype to the App Store

That depends heavily on scope, graphics effort and platforms. A playable prototype or a small browser or promotional game is possible in the Starter package from €2,500; we implement full game apps with backend, levels and store release in the Professional package from €8,000. We quote larger games with a lot of content individually in the Enterprise package – after the free initial consultation.

A playable prototype can often be tested after a few weeks. How long production takes after that depends on content, graphics and platforms; the review by Apple and Google adds to it. You receive a realistic schedule after the initial consultation and the concept phase.

Yes. You bring the idea, target group and goal; we handle refining the game design, programming, graphics together with LOMA DESIGN, and publishing. What matters is that you play along in the playtests regularly and give feedback.

We decide that based on your game. For 2D games that should also run in the browser, web technologies such as Phaser or PixiJS are a good fit. For more elaborate 2D or 3D games with many effects, we use engines such as Unity or Godot.

Common models are a one-time purchase price, in-app purchases, subscriptions or advertising – and, for branded and learning games, funding by the company itself. We recommend fair models that fit your target group and store guidelines; additional requirements apply to games aimed at children and teenagers. This does not replace legal advice.

The Entrepreneur Game is a realistic business simulation that Nano Concepts is developing together with LOMA DESIGN and FOUNDRS. Players invest, hire staff and market their offering – without real risk. You can find out more at entrepreneurgame.de.
