Rage of Bahamut Andriod

Rage of Bahamut

Android is a software stack for mobile devices like iPhone, iPod Touchand other devices which includes an operating system, middleware and key applications. The Android SDK provides the tools and APIs necessary to begin developing applications on the Android platform using the Java programming language.

By providing an open development platform, Android offers developers the ability to build extremely rich and innovative .Android includes a set of C/C++ libraries used by various components of the Android system. These capabilities are exposed to developers through the Android application framework.

We’ve heard plenty of times in the past about how Android doesn’t make as much money for developers as iOS, and some examples raised valid points, like the fact that there are not as many Google Wallet/Checkout users as there are iTunes account users. Therefore in theory, fewer people bother to pay for an app. There were also some very misleading ones that used data from 2010, when Android was still much smaller in quarterly sales, but even more importantly in total user base, and the data used is somehow supposed to prove that Android is not making money for developers now.

For some of the top developers, though, like the Angry Birds maker, Rovio, and DeNA’s Rage of Bahamut, which is currently the #1 grossing developer in both Google’s and Apple’s stores, both the ecosystems are making around the same amount of money for the developers. And moreover  Rage of Bahamut is a free-to-play game (on iOS also). This might lead to the insight that if you want to make as much money from Android as you do from iOS, you need to offer your app for free, and make money from ads (like Angry Birds) or in-app purchases like Rage of Bahamut.

At least for now, this is probably the way to go. The players who are really interested in buying content in this game will take a few moments of their time to make a Google Wallet account..

With ICS you get asked from the moment you set-up your phone, to make a Google Wallet account, which you can still skip if you want, but it’s also a great incentive for many people to make their account. After that they can start buying apps with just a push of a button. I think this is Apple’s big advantage for now in monetizing apps, and until ICS gets a lot more than only 7% market share, things will remain about the same. The Android is still growing twice as fast as iOS will help push those numbers in Google’s favor, thanks to the sheer amount of Android users that will exist in the future.
