MODERATORS
I released a game like three years ago and it's earned $97 in that time.
I feel your pain
Buy it yourself, get over 100, cash out
Haha, I've considered it. I'd really like to at least be able to buy pizza for the gang who helped make the game.
Which game is it?
@KeefChief13@lemmy.world @Amanduh@lemm.ee @indomara@lemmy.world Thank you all so much for your interest! :)
The game is called Shoot Your Friends. It's a death match couch game for 2-4 players who share a screen and pilot tanks around an arena.
Please be aware that it is somewhat niche, it's only compatible with controllers and local multiplayer. But if you ever get the gang over for game night it can be a fun way to spend the evening.
I don't use a controller, but I bought two copies for friends that do! Keep going, make more games, add features! (Like maybe keyboard controls for us dinosaurs.)
I believe in you!
Oh my gosh, thank you so much!
Keyboard support is definitely a must for our other games. I'm becoming more aware of the importance of accessibility.
Steam Deck support?
I'm afraid not, this came out well before the deck and I can't afford one to test on.
I'm not sure that it's a good target for the deck anyway where it's a splitscreen game.
Whats the game
If you roughly convert your hourly salary, how much money did you spend working on this game?
If we were to compare it to our day jobs, the opportunity cost for the team and me would probably be around ten grand.
If we compare the time spent to the money earned, then we're each worth several cents an hour.
It's a good thing I didn't get into game dev for the money, it seems I'm quite bad at it
Tell us the game now.
