Game intro
Hangman is a game where a player has to choose a letter from the word his opponent guessed. With this, I created a hangman game.
But why create a hangman game?
I created the hangman game as a fundraiser, to raise funds to support Liki Studios, so we could purchase a Google play developer account (play console).
But why not create another game instead of Hangman?
The story
I was learning a python course, when I saw how to create a hangman game, and I thought how cool it would be if I created it on my mobile device, so I created it. I had no idea it was in existence on deferent devices, until when I went on research, at this time, I had already created the game and didn't wanted to give up on it.
Farther more
I asked a question on Facebook how to market my game, I didn't give them any link. The went as far as checking my Facebook page, and found my hangman game, and the reviewed it, and it was terrible. You can view it here
Recreation
With that, I had to think outside the box and recreated a new Hangman game, with the original hangman design. On Facebook, I also shared my plan to recreate this game, and the were like, hangman is a old game, it's boring, etc. No body new what I was facing.
What was I facing?
My computer was not with me, and I was looking for a way to create a game, and get support from it, so that I could purchase a Google play developer account (play console) and create an account. This way, with the computer not with me, I could be waiting for approval, while waiting for the computer to be brought back also, or just publish the one I have just created.
If the computer was not with me, what way did I find to create this game?
I could not just collect someone's computer, or borrow it, I don't know who to borrow a computer from. Before I let my computer go, I copied a file that contains list of my game from the engine I used.
But what did I use instead of a computer?
My android phone, yes, my android phone, am really serious, this game was created on my phone. The game works on some android version and higher
How did I create this game on android?
There's an app called sketchware, I used it to create the game. This app is for creating android apps, but you can manipulate it to work in your favor to create an android game. And that's why I was not able to create a kinda platformer or bubble shooter etc, as a fundraiser(though I could try to manipulate it). Also, I created this game as a fundraiser because I already had a template, so it was for me to edit it and publish it. This way, took me less time, as I had some resources, sounds and music ready, and imported from the old project.

Conclusion
With the support I need I could create a Google play Console account, and wait for approval. While waiting for this, I could find a way to publish my games on Google play store.
