    IT'S MUCH EASIER TODAY!

    Not so long ago, you needed a team of programmers and artists, a large budget and six months or more to develop a mobile game for iOS and Android.

    I know this from first hand experience. As a programmer myself, I put together a team of six artists and developer, and worked for six months from inception to upload.

    Six months of salaries, headaches, and hard work ended up with my first iOS game Syncroz (now on Android as well).

    Despite the game being generally well received, I lost money, overall by the time I paid all the staff, and of course six months is a long time! It was a hard lesson, but I knew there had to be a better way.

    If only I knew then, what I know today!

    Game reskins are the best way for a beginner to get started in the app publishing business! I don't think there is a better opportunity anywhere else right now.

    Reskining games, you say?

    What is reskinning I hear you ask ?

    Reskinning is the process of swapping out the graphics and sounds from an existing game, and re-publishing it, optionally targeting a new demographic of player.

    I know at first glance that sounds strange, and you might be wondering, is that legal and even if it is, whats the point?

    Yes, its totally legal and ethical and by targeting a new demographic of player, you can introduce the game to a totally new audience. And I explain how to do all of this and loads more in the course.

    Yes, reskinning is an exciting and relatively new process, but like anything new there are pitfalls, and good and bad ways to go about it.

    The course will go through all of this in detail so you know exactly what to do to maximise your chances of success.
