-- DESCRIPTION --
I recently developed a mobile game with the unity game engine. It's called "Stick With It" and is a rage platformer game. In this video we take a look at how the game made money, and how much it made. Instead of using traditional interstitial ads, I tried another monetization strategy - Rewarded Video. Players have the option to watch videos and get something in return, in my case they can undo a move.
This strategy seemed to fail, because the ARPDAU was around $0.003, but then I updated the game...
In the update, I fixed bugs, added a normal mode, created some new characters, introduced a map screen for selecting checkpoints, and set up in-app purchases. Incidentally, the revenue ended up increasing, because the game was actually possible to play, so uhhhh, people actually played it.
This is the final devlog in the stick with it game development journey. I'll still like fix bugs and stuff, but the game is now done pretty much. Huge thanks to everyone who played the game, rated it, sent me bug reports, played some ads, or unlocked skins!

me coming out of a coma: "I can't wait to play my favourite game color combine"
LMAOOOOOOO
oofs
Captain Cactus and Burnt_aCoRn it’s because the game was removed but they were in a coma so they didn’t know that.
Thanks for makin me ruin the joke.
@Burnt_aCoRN - It was removed. So he can't play the game anymore.
"Doc, she's choking!"
Okay now can you do a “How much money my video on how much money my free mobile game makes made”
1.403.758 views roughly 1.400,00 k
Yes, almost always on the scale of $1 per 1 thousand views with all averages considered. There are always multiple factors to take into account and it's not 100% exactly a dollar per thousand views, but it's usually fairly close.
@@Mkrabs there is no reason to add k. As with the k it would be 1.4 thousand thousand which equates to 1.4 million. Also the full stop (period) should be swapped around with the comma.
@Memekage my knowledge of it was based on what it was years ago so thank you for correcting me on the updated pay
@Memekage it depends on how long people watch it.
As an aspiring game designer, I really appreciate you sharing this experience
Awesome work, so great to see devs being compensated for their hard work 👏
th-cam.com/video/A00-TC3J8SE/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=ZENITH
But he’s a greedy dev just like all devs
its only a rage game when a unskippable ad pops up every 10 seconds
True
Yeah geometry dash doesn’t even make me rage just when an ad shows up every time you die in a hard game
@@sinerothmike7292 Yeah, Geometry Dash is actually really fun and someone can get really good at it quickly. Before I actually bought the game, I agree, the ads in the Lite Version were worse than the difficulty of the game. Without the ads, it is really fun.
Did you play stick with it?
bro what is up with these profile pictures
Gotta love the fact that this dude doesn't make mandatory advertisements in his game
true
I don’t like games that give ads constantly
Well, statisticly speaking people need to keep playing your game for it to make money. Therefore mandatory ads could lower the player numbers lowering the profit. So what i am trying to say is; you don’t have to be a *good* dude to not make mandatory ads, its just a win win situation anyway.
1. He is a professional and that would ruin some of his reputation.
2. He has a freaking audience.
Yea lol hate those other ad heavy games
Love the honesty in this video! Downloading your game. 😃
Love your transparency. Excited to see more from you.
Impossible mode: Fast Moving arrow.
Hard mode: Moving arrow + Spikes
Normal mode: Selectable arrow + *EVEN* *MORE* *SPIKES*
It would be too easy without spikes
He should make one one with fast moving and extra spikes to see how long it takes people to beat it (maybe even remove checkpoints)
I think at first the spikes were meant to allow people to respawn at the checkpoint rather than loosing a bunch of progress whenever they fall.
but after that he introduced the restart at checkpoint button and made the spikes kinda redundant
Tried impossible mode. It seems that the arrow can vary in speed depending on how squished you are, or maybe it depends on how tight of a squeeze your character is in... idk
@@Cobra-xo1nz tbh it would be easy and boring and it would only become a generic platform game you typically see out there if he decided to remove the spikes in normal mode. I thought it would only be more fun to slow the arrows rotation a bit to retain its challenging mechanics which he intended the game to be ( the game becomes a bit more frustrating when i reach vertical walls because its hard to time the arrows there and i always gets sent backwards)
Sam: My game is rly bad.
Me: *Just Stick With It*
ZIM!!! Wtf
Litteral joke hahahahhahahahaha
I barley downloaded this
Nice joke
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh!
So cool to see your video on that game after I've started on learning how to be a indie game developer!
Thanks for the transparency! Respect
The one person to download it a week before: I'm the fastest man alive
he porbabily :
-stole a fucking time machine form area 51
-hacked the game to get iOS version at android (less probabily)
-its an MIB employee and used an alien time machine
-got in a big planet and dowload game there
-be a hackerman and get game
-IS THE SAM HOGAN
Probably one from the app review committee, making sure Sam's app is appropriate :D
Honestly this is really interesting good job
i miss your videos. a great way to come back is to make the game multiplayer!
Oh man ur video editing is too awesome dude ❤
"The next issue, its not fun." Hol up
WAIIT A MINUTE!!
Hey you stole that catchphrase
Hodl
Types of devices this is played on:
1% *iPod*
How just how
how
Looks like people here haven't heard of the iPod Touch lol
ThatOtherAndrew yeah 😂🤣🤣
true gamers play it on ipod
Wow this is very similar to a game I'm making which I want to be the first game I actually finish and put out there. It also started off with the rotating arrow and switched to full control aiming XD I need to look more into this monetization strategy now, it would fit my game well I think. Thanks for sharing this!
Any updates? Did you finish the game? How much did you make?
@@Emirlan-px6fp haven't finished it no, too busy with college. but it did help me land my first job as a game dev! :D thanks for asking.
congrats buddy, you deserve this success :)
5:49 Oh, so that’s what happened to color combine
hello
5:39*
@Turtle Cat :D hello
Yeah it was my fav game
When you actually wanted to try Color Combine lol
Me too I even tried to search for it bc i thought it was fake
Yeah
Exactly
@@uwu7658 i think it was just "pick the two closest-in-hue adjacent colour squares" and if you got it right the play area shrinks by 1 square and maybe re-randomizes the colours
Hay you need to fix the Ded it's Dead
Impossible mode glitch: if you go to the menu in impossible mode while falling, you will go back to the place you jumped from. I know you won’t see this, but I hope so
great sense of humour brother! Hope to see more games from you!
2:15
Look mum I’m on tv
i liked ur comment
Oh wow that's actually you
Nice
lol
Very cool
Yooo my mans gettin that phat bread letsgo
hello father
ure gonna become rich from karlson
Is Sam milk Gang tho
POST NEW VIDS MANNNN
oh yes
I like your updates Sam hogan hopefully you make more😊
That has aged like milk.
Thanks for insights buddy. If I ever decide to building I'll be here again. Subbed.
Imagine if he just remade color combine but good. I’d play it.
Id want to play it as it was :(
me too , it was simple and probs fun
Id like to play the old color combine
Sam: someone bought the game early
Me who doesn't understand why it is so underdeveloped: *sweats*
i dont tell us ur the person who first download?
As a game designer ive noticed all moments that i studied, about rewarded ads, updates!
Very cool video, dude! Thanks! Like + follow
I think your game is performing verry well. I mean there are so many games in ios and android... good job with your improvements... just keep going i think you are doing well.
"But luckily, I'm an amazing programmer and my games never have any bugs."
Me: Wow that's amazi-Oh
uh oh
Same, lol
Howdy : r/wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh
MelNS huh
Every programmer knows it’s a lie
I LITERALLY MADE A MENTAL NOTE TO PLAY COLOUR COMBINE WHEN I SAW IT, THEN HE DELETED IT. WHYYYYYYY
kjfan2006 _ SAMEEE
Why are we here?
Someone say “just to suffer”
same
so that you won't just suffer
kjfan2006 _ ;-;
amazing video! It illustrate a great experience regarding the time and effort you need to put on a game.
I found it really impressive, you build a game and show all the progress on TH-cam, you not only earn from the game ad and in game purchase, and you also earn from TH-cam by doing one thing one time and lets it run and earn later, it is really genius way, if u only have skill but u don’t know how to show and talk really lead u to no where. You are amazing 🤩
Request: make a 1v1 race mode in Stick With It.
That would be nice with a shorter map. Against a ghost of your personal best on the shorter map would be nice as well
Oh yeah, I could see an alternate universe where the race in America is actually the stick with it game. Johnny and gyro beating it would be amazing
Mozzarella
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
U that's pretty good I like that idea 👍 but he should add if beat the on hard or impossible mode Am I right
"just so it's not too much fun." *I like your thinking.*
=0
Same here
i'm developing my first mobile game and this video really inspires me. not really hoping to make huge money out of it, just enough for surviving while i make a better game.
Finally, I saw your video and the algorithm seems knowing what I was looking for. Someone commented on the Poinpy (a Netflix game) official trailer that Poinpy isn't an original idea and he mentioned about a TH-camr made a similar game to that game and the TH-camr game isn't scrolling horizontally. He seems to refuse to tell about the TH-camr since he doesn't mention the name and doesn't reply to a replier until now
My Suggestions for Stick with it:
More Maps
Level Creation
Modes (Things like Rising lava)
Multiplayer
D e a t h m a t c h
yes
Definitely level creation
Comment Kid level creations would be amazing...
Yes
Finally a game I can feel good watching ads on
Especially if the ad is about bigo live 😉
Half of mobile games throw ads at you every second
The Game is so good
Aim for the stars, add muliplayer, limited skins, trading, challanges, community maps, very expensive skins, make the game fun for all audiences, you could very well not have to work a day in your life again, you are on a gold mine, keep it going💯
3:49 Finished checkpoints, allow redo's for teh checkpoint's parcour on higher settings to get more final score.
Then people can try and get a higher score, over all checkpoints after they completed the game.
Special abilities upon finishing a checkpoint's parcour usable once like a super jump to get a shortcut
or something like that.
"hmmm, these stats are actually pretty boring..."
*insert epic battle transition explosions fire tilted text and some more sound effects*
"Yeah that should get some more subs and likes, good job me"
"More subs and likes"
Literally one like which is your own
@@minnomal8238 This is about... the video. Not op themselves.
Minnomal you would have negative likes if downvotes worked in the comments
Cas W I think it's meant to be a joke
@@minnomal8238 y r u gae?
idea: make a multiplayer mode so that people can race against each other!
Cool
@UCqUYTRhrMi09ti5MSS_04lg no, sorry mate XD
There is a multipalyer remake on scracht but it is not %100 accturute
STONKS
70 like I want dat
Watched your first video on this and had no idea it was a mobile game. Instantly downloaded it 😆
I'm basically installing your game on my phone im so excited to play it
Stop being so hard on yourself. You tried to make a good game and someone out there is probably enjoying it right now. Good job
not
Jk please don't kill me
@@user-kx8pu6ys5i *sir, where do you live?*
@@user-ev3ls9zg9k let me guess... hmmm indonesia... maybe?
I am
@Sonny Lecours-Abimoussa no! Don't stop. Being hard on yourself is a important part of improving
You could make a multi-player one where you try to race other players
ya he probably thought that once
*Y E S*
I was just going to say that
Yeah
He made it like 5 years ago with a game called "Happy race" and it was kinda cool tbh
Whenever I play, I always use the reverse move function - you’re welcome
also maybe add a multiplayer function, kinda like that one Nintendo game
Love you man. Thanks a lot.
The fact you dont have pop up advertiments makes me want to install and not uninstall 5 min later
yeah lul like why they do that they would earn less money in the long run
@@amiwyugly341
I know, right?
@@amiwyugly341 well I guess the greed In making the money asap is better then overtime
I found a bug when I died it broke as a bug
Yes. Those are stupid and adding non pop up adds like these to a pc port to mobile makes it a lot more fun on each platform
Jesus Christ imagine how much app developers such as voodoo make.
-no swearing in my christian minecraft server- yeah, probably uh- uh- uncountable
Voodoo isn't a developer it's a publisher
Daniel Reyes voodoo is that company that makes tons of relatively simple games with excessive ads (like they play every 30 seconds to 3 minutes) and obsessively advertises their games on platforms like Instagram.
@@themandel2017 You are not funny. Go back to reddit, kid.
@@cavemanjoey8395 you are not funny, stop being a bad boy.
Don't be at all hard on yourself Sam....Stick with it is awesome!
This is the only guy who makes stats so interesting ❤
This is actually a great game to play and it’s actually hard, well...for me anyways. Great job Sam!
IT'S STUPIDLY HARD ACTUALLY. I LITERALLY CANT GET OVER LEVEL 2. I HATE THE PIPE JUMP SO BAD.
The game is garbage but ok.
Update idea: You can make your own maps and publish them so other people can play it
Just like Roblox, the literal pfp you have rn.
Yesssss
Yess
Short ver: every game ever
That would be really nice but that will also be very very hard to code and publish
As like what you're trying to say here is you have to technically get like global round the world type game and auto generators for worlds..also it will take forever to give the player a function to make their own map so it might take 1-4 months or maybe 1-3
great game :D ! but i bet multiplayer would be fun so you can show of skins and progress!
you should add:
*an easy mode, where you can set checkpoints
* a second level for people who beat the first one
* More Skins
* achievements popping up in game
* Custom skins
Yeah I think he has a life now
I have mad respect for actually putting out how much money you made, soo many TH-camrs never say or just lie saying a lower amount.
You got my respect man💪💪
That's because its honestly no ones business how much money a person makes
@@mikemarks6136 am... yeah its like asking someone how much u get from your job
This culture of not speaking about wages is corporate propaganda so they can pay people less
@@pluto8404 yeah people should keep asking and give info about their wages,so other have clue for how much money they got for similar skill level.. there is alot people who dont realizes how much their skill worth and bad at haggle their salary and stuck in low wage job limbo while their skill literary same as other with similar level in one company and their boss dont have problem to rise it if they actually ask.
But they never ask or afraid to do so.
@@cubiix1302 jesus christ I nearly died just reading that
I was one of the people constantly pressing "undo" so, yeah XD
Ok

suggestion: have a mode where you just have all your unlocked skins bounce around like this and you just get to watch the chaos
you are good enough man... way to go.😄😄
I'm a simple dev, I see a video of Sam, I click

@@gsjxbxbxhdhs5352 oh now I see it too lmao, Sam is the king of Pun
Sam Hogan
grrr its a pun
This is one of the best YT channels on YT.
I am not even joking
What you should add to the game,
1. Co-op levels
2. Speedrun levels with times of other players
3. Live competitions going through levels
4. Custom made levels (made by audience)
4 and 2 should be added
@@Ortmelo billy?
Olleh
@@Ortmelo hi billy
Olleh uoy owt
Actually you can add 2 things to make it better in my opinion :
Level editor to let the players publish their levels
And a multiplayer mode which you have to reach the end of the level before the other player do (like racing)
The game is amazing I'm glad you made it
Hedra Scape: deletes colour combine and says thanks for using undo’s
Me who downloaded colour combine after stick with it and has been playing through it and uses a lot of undo’s: Oh... wait do I have a gaming artifact?
Artifact* 🙂
Artefact*
artefact
/ˈɑːtɪfakt/
noun
1.
an object made by a human being, typically one of cultural or historical interest.
"gold and silver artefacts"
2.
something observed in a scientific investigation or experiment that is not naturally present but occurs as a result of the preparative or investigative procedure.
"the curvature of the surface is an artefact of the wide-angle view"
@@TR1CK not really, it just depends on where you are artefact is the British noun with the same meaning as artifact. Aside from this slight difference in spelling they both mean the same thing.
So let’s just say this video alone made more than the game so far 😂
He does have a revenue of about $426~$6.8k Monthly
This is youtube. The game has definitely made more
@@Charlie-js8rj 1k views= 1 dollar
@@Charlie-js8rj haha nope. Regardless of TH-cams payout. 2.7 mil views (currently) will make way more than this game lol. Probably more then the game will ever make (including this video and the first video).
@Luke F we're talkin ads
Make a building option so players can build maps and post them on the community map area
For your next update I wanna give some recommendations that I think would fit this game
1) Possibly make the background change as you get higher like in "Getting Over It" because when I first played "Getting Over It" it felt more rewarding going up higher and higher and showed your progress in real time
2) Idk how possible it is a but a leaderboard for each mode of who beat it the fastest so people could have something to try and challenge themselves further or achieve
3) A new mode where you keep the same controls as normal but you only get one life. This gives people who beat normal something to do it they don't want to beat Hard or Impossible and rewards being skilled
4) Maybe like my first point have the area like the ground change the higher you get I think it would be more rewarding being able to see the landscape change the higher you get
5) This will probably never work but if you could some how make it like "Pogostuck" and "Pogostuck 2" where you can see the other players in game but they don't effect actual game play
Thanks if you even see these ideas
My idea is the ending . The blob are getting out of the trash can , and meet his friend and ending . Also make some snake there !!
maybe different levels
maybe a special skin when you beat the modes?
A multiplayer mode where you can race with friends!
A debug mode to place stuff
You should add a customization mode where people can design their own levels, it would be really cool
@Funnyman Guy i kinda hope he adds more to this one and perfects it
Yeah Good Idea
A build your own level mode would be really hard to build.
@Funnyman Guy wow >;(
Yah and a multiplayer mode would have made it a god game
Ur game is so cooler than I thought👍👍😊
Great video! Just one point.. would be nice to know how much time you spent developing each game for a frame of reference.
5 of the ads you got money from I watched, I did my part
Your a lefend
On June 27th something amazing happened...
Yeah, my birthday, thanks for mentioning it bro
Awesome work, so great to see devs being compensated for their hard work
I have an idea for an update: what if you could customise your character? Basically every time you get a skin, you get accessories from it like for example you could put a moustache on a lemon and also maybe there could be individual accessories you could buy with in game money which could be rewarded through any way you would like and players could buy the in game currency for real money
5:40 - Hah, jokes on you... I’ve already played all your old games! 😤😂 Congrats on all that *gamer bread* 🤤 Super interesting how much of a change in revenue you saw after the update! Awesome work bro! Keep it up! 😄
Thanks Daniel! But no jokes actually on you cause you had to suffer through playing them

The results in and of themselves are good, but considering you got 10 million views on this (nice) video puts it in a bit of a different perspective ... your game looks great and polished , so is the CTR from a YT video really that bad?
Or did you not include the boost of this particular video.
Anyway well done !
My first game got released a week orso ago ...and it makes revenue , but it did not make any profit :P
I love your stick with it🎉

Me: undoing my move for the 25th time on the current check point
"or should I say sticking with it"
**explosions and fire and a ROFL emoji**
Hey Sam hogan! I love your game but could you please add these things?
1: I would like if u add a little bit more skins like a burger one or a funny one.
2: More maps cuz the one backround can get boring
3: Maybe an easy mode?
The rewarded video ads sign just killed the stick man… BUT HES BACK. And you should add multiplayer mode too so you can play with friends similar to Minecraft and Roblox instead of being alone
10:05 that 1% that downloaded on an iPod, u gotta love that 1% right there
Edit: how in the world did i get 300 likes? This is pure luck
U also gotta love that, that one percent is 1k people lol

Request: Make a level editing mode and maybe can submit it online and let other people play your level
It would be cool
Yes smart
smort
Big brain idea. +1
online is a difficult thing to implement tho no? educate me tho im not sure
I just downloaded the game for the first time and yes it is giving me getting over it vibs
2:38 we must love him and his face
I would love to see more updates for the game in the future. Here are some suggestions:
-A few *secret* skins that are hidden on the menu screen and in secret areas while playing.
-A stat board (Ex. Jumps, Deaths, Moves Undone, etc.)
-Expanding the map which can be unlocked after beating the game once.
Edit: I came up with a few new ideas.
-Graphics Settings. Maybe some nice and polished graphics, or maybe a Black and White theme.
-Enemies. There could be a mode in which there would be enemy blobs that could hinder your focus to spice up the game a little.
-An xp system. Maybe depending on your progression between checkpoints could calculate the amount of xp you gain. You could add another in-app purchase to level up 4x as fast or something. Leveling up could unlock new skins or make the speed of the arrow in Hard or Impossible a tiny bit slower each time.
-As suggested in my Reply Section, an option to fiddle around with how many particles are caused by the player. You could allow players to spit out a whole screen of projectiles as a meme, or have an option to have no particles at all.
Just a few suggestions. This game has a ton of potential, and I believe in your ability to make the game truly amazing.
:)
A stat board would be an incredible addition to the game
Add the og skin the one used for testing!
I have also made this comment a few minutes ago so if you like it then go and like it so maybe he can see it
I have a suggestion
You know the particles when you jump and how you can make a lot of them
You should make a menu where you can fiddle with those things for fun (edit 3: Kinda like Minecraft render distance sliders)
Edit: 7:30 also with this thing you could have a fix button to fix the blob
Edit 2: this one may not be possible and may need to be a separate game but you could make something like Mario maker for this game (if it’s not too hard that’s ok, I don’t know a thing about coding lol)
Edit 4: if you did do the sick with it maker, you could make a place for people to upload their words on the internet (kinda like the geometry dash thing)
a game editor.
Like this so he sees
0:22 Just Sam making sure TH-cam acknowledges the video as 13+
also in 3:49
Nice
Yep
