Describe how the game will be used
A short campaign game has different running costs from a mobile product with regular new levels. Define audience age, session structure and maintenance before building a plan around ad impressions.
Compare options using shared assumptions
Write down production, support and operating work for paid access, optional content and sponsorship. Test proposed ad placements within the player journey. These are options, not earnings forecasts or guarantees.

Check payments before release
Google Play’s digital-content payment rules include exceptions. Review the applicable store and country conditions, then include purchase, restoration and support flows in your test plan. Do not assume the same setup applies everywhere.
