Hi guys! I made a mobile game in the hidden object genre for android, ios and windows mobile platforms. Video of the gameplay below

Youtube.com

Now I want to sell all the rights and source code of the game, but I do not know where I can find people want to buy it. Can you tell me who can buy mobile games?
A little bit more about the game: Game named "The Chronicles of Skara". It contains 72 levels; it is about 8 hours of gameplay. The game is appropriate for Google - Designed for Families. The game is made by unity3d.

Hi Lampy,

Firstly, congrats on completing your Game - This is a major success and a milestone of your life. Remember that successful promotion or sale of your game can not be guaranteed and will never be solely your victory, however finishing a game is a personal/team achievement. Further success, will rely on the help and support of others - but the question of who can help is never absolutely clear. When you say Google, I guess you mean Android.

0) Take a little time to get ready before you leap in.

1) Know what a publishing contract is: Developers.magmic.com

2) Prepare to market yourself and your game: Create a personal profile and a game profile somewhere on the net - Announce that the game is finished and you expect it to be published next year - don't give a fixed date.

3) Network: Create a twitter profile and invite as many indie game devs to follow you as possible - you will find Game Promoters in these listings also. Rally all your friends and family to friend you on FB, twitter, etc. Publishers will check that you have a social profile.

4) Help Others: If you can't offer advice then offer encouragement whether here at IndieDB or on twitter, etc.

5) Thank everyone that helps you.

6) Approach: ONLY APPROACH COMPANIES THAT ALREADY HAVE A TITLE IN YOUR GENRE AND/OR A FOCUS ON YOUR PLATFORMS [MOBILE GAMES].

A >> Search: "mobile game publishers" in your fav search engine - take your time and find a suitable publisher.

OR/AND

B >> Convention: Attending a game convention is a direct line to meet Publishers and agents in person. They should be more interested in a Game Design than in a single customer, so U have an advantage. Bring a friend who can introduce you properly. No alcohol, no cigarette breathe. Don't wear clothes your not relaxed in. Be early. Be yourself. If you are nervous just say "I apologise for my nerves. I have a finished game. Would you be interested in taking a look?".


IMPORTANT: I AM NOT AN EXPERT. I HAVE NEVER HAD A GAME PUBLISHED. SOME OF THE IDEAS YOU EITHER COME ACROSS OR COME UP WITH WILL WORK BETTER OR IN TANDEM.

Wishing you every success.

If you want to sell the rights and all that then your best bet is to market that you're selling it. Are you on Twitter? Facebook or any social place where people can see you?

A hidden object game may not get as much attention as a shooter, RPG, etc but there is probably someone who would buy as long as you aren't overpricing it like many have a tendency to do.

What if you don't have a social profile and refuse to have one?

I can understand not wanting to have a social profile, I am not a fan of social networks (even though I have a profile).

It can be hard to get your game noticed these days if someone in your team is not doing some promo.
