My Development Approach

A established 5-step methodology that ensures your app launches on time, on budget, and exceeds player expectations

1

Discovery & Planning

We start by understanding your vision, target audience, and business goals. I conduct competitive analysis, define core mechanics, and create a comprehensive project roadmap with milestones.

Requirements gathering Market research Technical planning Timeline estimation

Prototype & Validation

I build a playable prototype focusing on core app loop and mechanics. This allows us to test fun factor early and iterate quickly before investing in full production.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about working with me

How much does it cost to develop a mobile app?

App development costs vary significantly based on complexity, tools, and platform. A simple hyper-casual app typically ranges from $8,000-$15,000, while mid-complexity apps with backend systems cost $20,000-$40,000. Complex apps with multiplayer, social tools, and advanced graphics can exceed $50,000. I provide detailed quotes after understanding your specific requirements during a free consultation.

How long does it take to build a app?

Typical development timelines: Hyper-casual apps: 6-10 weeks | Casual apps with IAP: 10-14 weeks | Mid-core apps: 16-24 weeks. This includes all phases from prototype to Application Store release. I provide accurate timelines after reviewing your app design document and feature list.

Do you provide ongoing support after release?

Yes! I offer flexible post-release support packages including bug fixes, performance optimization, new feature development, and seasonal content updates. Many customers opt for monthly retainer arrangements (starting at $3,000/month) for continuous improvements and new content. Emergency support is open 24/7 for critical issues.

What platforms do you develop for?

I specialize in iOS (iPhone & iPad) and Android mobile apps, as well as HTML5 web apps that work across all browsers. Most work include both iOS and Android versions with a single codebase (using Unity or similar cross-platform engines), ensuring consistent gameplay across platforms while minimizing development costs.

Can you help with app design and monetization strategy?

Absolutely! I bring 8+ years of journey in app design and monetization optimization. I help refine gameplay mechanics, implement established monetization models (ads, IAP, subscriptions), optimize player retention, and design progression systems that keep users hooked. This consultative approach has helped customers achieve 40%+ improvements in key metrics.

Will I own the source code and intellectual property?

Yes. You receive full ownership of all source code, assets, and intellectual property upon final payment. I provide well-documented, clean code with detailed setup instructions. I retain no rights to your app and you're free to modify, refresh, or hire other developers to work on it in the future.

Do you sign NDAs and work-for-hire agreements?

Yes, I'm satisfied to sign NDAs to protect your app vision and business information. I also provide work-for-hire agreements ensuring you own all deliverables. Professional contracts are standard for all work, clearly defining scope, timeline, payment terms, and intellectual property rights.

What's your payment structure?

I typically use a milestone-based payment structure: 30% upfront to begin work, 40% at mid-point (playable prototype delivered), and 30% upon completion. For larger work, I can break payments into smaller monthly installments. I accept bank transfers, PayPal, and cryptocurrency. Fixed-price contracts ensure no surprise costs.
