What It Is
You use an AI agent to build a simple Android game, publish it on Google Play, and earn from ads shown inside the game through Google AdMob. You improve the game based on how players use it, and may pay for ads to bring in more downloads.
The Pitch
E'Calm says he spent five months building his game and that it reached 10 million downloads. He shows about $34,000 of AdMob earnings in July, more than $24,000 after invalid-traffic deductions and US tax, and says he spent about $6,000 on ads.
Who It’s Best For
Persistent people who enjoy games and are willing to test and update an app for months.
The Truth (as we see it)
Ten million downloads is rare; most new games get very few players. He was spending heavily on ads, and AdMob holds back invalid traffic and, for non-US developers, US tax. Google Play needs 12 testers before launch for new accounts. He runs a Discord community for this.
