Writing for Continue Play, head of Rubicon Development, Paul Johnson, disusses a major problem facing most indie developers today - getting your game noticed in an increasingly crowded marketplace.
"Focusing on mobile for a moment, how many apps and games do you think were released to the App Store yesterday? You probably think it’s a lot, right? Ten?, fifty?, a hundred? Not even close.
