therevillsgames	Just wire-transferred the first payment for my next game's graphics... hate banks and their exchanges rates!

cyangames	Ohhh crikey, sounds expensive.

therevillsgames	Yeah! The first payment was $7500 USD and when I paid it the AUD was 0.795c but the bank only gave me 0.75c!! 4.5c isnt a lot but for 7500 of them it adds up! And a $20 fee on top of that as well!

rockford	What sort of style are you going for? How many assets were required? 2D/3D? Any previews?

Jayenkai	Gebus Munkles... That's about 3 times more than I've managed to earn from my games. You crazy fool! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

therevillsgames	@Rockford - its a 2D casual game and another Solitaire one too... we arent ready to release any previews yet (top secret ) @Jay - I know its a lot of money, but normally within the first month of selling we break even. This game so far has cost: Music: $100 USD Story: $210 USD Voice Over: $400 USD Art: $15000 USD And thats not including our development time of course...

rockford	Seriously? You make over $15,000 with a Solitaire game? WTF?
Sat, 23 May 2015, 16:06
therevillsgames	Oh yes, and more over the years... why do you think I still keep kicking them out

rockford	Are you focusing on pc/Mac/Android/iOS or do you target them all?

spinal	I wouldn't mind learning about taxes if I thought I'd earn anywhere near that over the lifespan of a game, never mind a few weeks! -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!

therevillsgames	@Rock - PC and Mac at the moment. I havent had much success with iOS (decided to totally drop it) and I only make <$400 p/m from Android... @Spinal - yeah our tax accountant does take the expenses into account when we do our quarterly tax.

cyangames	Are you dealing with a publisher to get that? I was approached by one last year but wasn't too sure about it. -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

therevillsgames	"@Rychan - Are you dealing with a publisher to get that?" Are you referring to the <$400 from Android? If so - no publisher, all Ad based revenue.

cyangames	Oh, no, I meant on PC and Mac. That's pretty nice ad revenue. I've thought about adding too my ludum dare game some sort of currency which can be boosted up with video ads, no monetary iaps mind, those are a bitch to work nicely. -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

therevillsgames	For the PC and Mac, the revenue comes from casual portals such as Big Fish Games, iWin, GameHouse etc.

cyangames	Hmm, I'll have to have a looksy into those ones in the future methinks -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!
