99999999 out if 10 idea

[GreyMario]

I'm sorry, if I roll a 1 in 300 chance to get an advertisement on the title screen, I'm going to be pissed because I'm not expecting it.

[LixieWulf]

No.

[NajimiOsana]

This would work if it wasn't one of those annoying Block-Your-Entire-Screen-Unless-You're-A-Sniper-That-Can-Click-On-The-X type of Advertisement

Anuke buys an ad and puts it on mindustry and the add is for mindustry simple

ANUKE LIVES IN A GARBAGE BAG SO WATCH THE ADS SO ANUKE GETS THE MONYS

[itcannotbe]

It's not even a lot of money to be earned that way, why even bother.

Cuz anuke needs money and it basicly does nothing to the game so its fine

Ankeny gets most of his money from steam and itch sales (he might have an actual job too idk) Mobile ads don't help unless you have a massive f2p playerbase

[TheMrAlbert]

This isn't helpful. iOS shouldn't have ads due to paid game. Adding ads will complicate things such as free version of itch.io. I afraid it will become adware. If you meant to be Android only, it's simple but it will mess GitHub contributions which then ruins the other platforms.

[SheepCommander]

Although it would be nice if Anuke was able to get some amount more support, this is not the way to go about it.

A out of the way "watch an ad to support Anuke" (I don't think there's really any reasonable reward you can give for it) sure, but not this BS

wAtCH aN Ad tO lAUncH tO tHe nExt seCToR

[TheCorruptedKing]

This is a horrible Idea, for Android and IOS devices. The algorithm is too screwed up to even think twice for game developers in general. Google's algorithm: $0.02-$0.16 (what the app developer gets) | $2.50 (What Google gets) Apple's algorithm: unidentified, all I know is that they take about 70% of what you make.

The situation with Apple's algorithm is that besides the 70% that they take, you have to pay them 120$+ to publish your app: 100$ for an Individual Developer Account and 20$ for a publishing license (allows it to be put onto the app store)

I could seriously go on with saying how bad of an idea this is but i'll let the pros handle this.

Im talking about the title screen did you just see the title and did this

[deltanedas]

@catatagun anuke confirmed that he is a millionaire and probably does not live in a bag (there is proof that he did at one point) mindustry should not need 50 spyware sdks to compile for android google play edition

[Humanoid-X]

No hes a cat and cant be a millionaire he must live in a garbage can... Lol don't be offended Anuke, only joking.

I was talking about both Android and IOS.

You have offended the Anuken and shall be hung as a heretic and blaspemer.

Otherwise though, I agree with itcannotbe and LegoMonster; it's not enough money to be worth annoying the playerbase for.

[WinterCrystal]

While I do think this might potentially be good way to gain more players into the game, I have to say no, the thing is, the mobile market has a history of terrible ads especially the videogame ones, and I don't want Mindustry to be a part of them, besides, I think Anuke is fine financially.

[Kyllingene]

Actually, the idea is not ads for mobile mindustry, but ads in mobile mindustry. See the below line from the suggestion.

get a 1 in 300 chance to get a ad if you press something on the title screen

[sk7725]

You know, if this gets added, the first thing I'm gonna make is an ad blocker mod.

If this doesn't get added, I'm gonna make an ad mod.

[stuffyAI]

The title actually suggests that there will be an ad for mindustry, but the content suggests that there will be ads in mindustry.

Not to even judge the value of this suggestion, please change the misleading title.
