Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand

From 13.5 million installs to 499 active devices Same developer, same store, twelve years apart. A million installs in 27 days in 2014, 493 views and no installs in 2026. Thirteen years of Play Console exports are at the bottom of this page. BLu, Lukic Engineering · Belgrade · 10 August 2026 On 21 September 2014 a game I made alone crossed a million installs. That was day 27 after release. The same day it was installed 173,975 times, which is still the biggest day anything of mine has ever had. I had no budget, no publisher and no press contacts. I was outside the industry and did not know the ecosystem at all. I worked it out with common sense, one piece at a time. At the end of July I released a new game and wrote a post about it in the most relevant place I could find.

Excerpt limited to ~120 words for fair-use compliance. The full article is at Lukicengineering.
