Small Mobile Game are very easy to reproduce when they released to market.
There would many hundreds of the same gameplay games even with similar names.
How would users will chose between the same game when the package size is 60MB and 3MB?
The googleplay is not avaible in China. There are so many android markets. The distributors are the leaders of mobile games market. They will make many conditions for game developers. The package size is one of them. If you don’t obey their rules, they will say no, no, no, no, no to your games. Even though, some small games distributors accepted your games.
But don’t be happy with these. The similar games would come in few days. There will reproduce your games in Unity or Cocos2d-x. These games’ package size would normally be within 3MB, and have many other features yours don’t have. So the distributors will make them to the rank list’s top.(The distributors in China are very happy to do these. They only see profits. The game well satisfied their conditions will be consider as profit maker.)
Your game will soon sink into sea bottom forever, nobody will know you are the really original game creator.
You would not understand these serious situations in China. If you come to China, you would understand why there is no guys using UE4 to develop Mobile Games. Almost every guys in China know that if they develop moblie games with UE4, there will not be one distributor will accept their games.
I heard many Chinese developers’ Harsh words to UE4’s mobile games developing features. They said if you chose UE4, your games will certainly failed.
There are many millions of Unity and Cocos2d-X developers in China. It is easily to hire Unity and Cocos2d-x developers.
My partners asked me a serious question some time ago, and I fell into silence.
"UE4 has high hardware requirements, bad android compatiblity, huge package size, not well official supported, fewer developers and solutions(many problems they have to solve them alone), and low performance. The distributors will not even accept our UE4 games. We can’t choose Game Engine that make mobile games with so obviously riskies. So why will we choose UE4 since there are so many disadvantage compared to Unity and Cocos2d-x? ", my partners said.
