Hi everyone,
Here is the thing : We ( Above Gaming ) are actually developing our first game, it s going to be a space shooter ( Multiplayer ) on PC platforms.
I `ve got some questions for the persons who have already made a game and sold it ( PC Platform ).
Did you use more than just Steam to sell your games ? If so, what exactly did you use ? I have seen those websites : www.metaboli.com / www.gamesplanet.com / www.direct2drive.com … ect. Has any of you tried to sell your games trhough them ?
Did you use any kinds of advertising ( Paid ) ? was it usefull ?
And finally, has your game brought more money than you expected or was it not worth the time you’ve put in it ? Do you now have enough to make indie games as a living ?
I know those are kind of personnals questions, feel free to ingore them if you are not comfortable with and answer just the other ones. I was seeking for indie games dev blogs / reviews / ect but never found anything on : how much / worth it or not / markting plans and advertising. I only found articles about people who “think” and didn t really “do” it, wich makes a huge difference to me.
Obviously the simple fact of : Making a great video game is already a great achievment, but it is not really what i want to discuss here.
Thanks in advance for your answers.
