Learning new things, plus as a creative outlet. I like to pick a technology (API, algorithm, or whatever) I'd like to learn, then build a game around it.
Fun fact: /u/redblobgames inspired the map and color scheme in my Android game Satis-Factory!
Is this your game? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.concreterose.satis_factory
If so, that's a really nice game and the downloads are impressive. Congrats!
It seems that the donation percentages align with mine and it's interesting to see that so many people click on "show ad".
Could you maybe change the buttons to something like this which may increase the numbers? "Tip Me and never show this screen again" / "Show Ad and never show this screen again" / "Nope, show me this screen next time I start the game".
This way people "gain" something, even if it's a really minor thing, like my "skip level" button which has 7 times more payments than the donation.
Edit: Please check your PM. I downloaded your game.
Satis-Factory is similar to Pandemic but using dice to roll for resources.
