As part of Pocket Gamer Connects Helsinki 2016, Teemu Mäki-Patola, COO and CMO of Frogmind, gave a talk on how to plan for the four years after launching a successful game.

One thing the company did was to grow its team, but according to Mäki-Patola, "it took a year for the new people to start working creatively together".

Huge pains

He also stated that "we could've skipped the huge pains of bringing out a console version" as the game's non-mobile releases only generated 10% of its revenues between them.

On a more positive note, he suggested that developers should talk to other mobile developers about their business to get advice, so long as you are willing to be open with them too.
