Great Things you should do:

- Create great codes – you can follow top authors on the marketplace and track their codes. most of them will have constant updates and improvements, they will also often work with buyer feedback to improve their codes and make them better. Buyers appreciate this sort of activity and it leads to more sales.

- Invest in documentation – most buyers are first time buyers or have low experience with apps or frameworks such as unity. creating a very detailed guide on how to control and work with the code as well as how to reskin all elements, add levels and implement monetization will lead to happy clients that keep coming back to your releases.Here is a link to a great example of documentation

Bad things you shouldn’t do
- Infringe copyrights of popular publishers on the appstores – Since Many authors are not sure about the definitions of what infringing copyrights mean. we created here a list of all types of practices that are considered as copyright infringement:
DO NOT
a. use original game names in your game title , description, splash screen – This also means don’t add a third word to your game name thinking that you are fine
Example: let’s assume the game name is Wild Cows – don’t call your game Wild cows chase thinking that it won’t infringe copyrights – Use a different name for your game or your app will be removed.
DO NOT
b. use the same description text of another publisher from our marketplace or from publishers on the appstores – Your app will be removed.
DO NOT
c. Use original graphics from another publisher in your game , screenshots, featured images, thumbnail – Any graphics that look the same like the original game are an infringement. Use graphics of your own. many authors enhance a certain style of game and come up with a better original game with original graphics. do the same – fail to follow this guideline and your app will be removed.
DO NOT
c. Unzip APK files of other publishers on the appstores or on the sell my app marketplace and use any assets from them – Using assets of other developers are a copyright infringement. may it be from a top publisher or a seller on sell my app in both cases your items will be removed from the marketplace – Your app will be removed.
DO NOT
d. Provoke disputes with other developers on the marketplace in the public comments section – attacking and arguing with other developers in the public comments section is bad for you, it’s bad for the author and it’s bad for the entire community. If you have an issue contact our support and we will assist you with your issues.
DO NOT
e. hack source codes of other publishers on our marketplace or the appstores – Even though technically it’s a difficult task to be able to re-engineer scripts from another publisher. some people are capable of doing so. In case you are found to actually hack complete codes including scripts 100% our team will be able to identify it. – Your account will be terminated and you will not be able to work with us.
