Money, money, money, money, it's all about the money, isn't it?
Higgins that's way to early to ask, so again in a few months, it's been there for only a few days and publishers only pay once a month anyway.
But, since the game has been for sale on my website for much longer already, I can answer the question with yes, I've made money of the game.
Quote: "Uhh... i think people just said that big publishers simply wouldn't evan look at this games, but there are thousands of publishers out there who would get their hands on everything as long they get some bucks from it "
Nope, that's not true at all. Publishing a game costs money, so publishers do not just pick any game. They have to see a good potential in it. Do you have any idea how much games are being created each year and how little actually get published?
I consider it an honor that Manifesto games has chosen Commander Josh to be published. They're being offered lot's and lot's of games each day and yet only select a few to be published. They just don't publish anything that comes along. I've offered the game to them about 2 months ago, they carefully considered it, we've negotiated a bit and in the end we were able to come to an agreement. They seem to be picky in what they choose or decline.
I really do wish you're statement about the thousands of publishers wanting to make a quick buck was true, I would be a rich man by now, but unfortunally the truth is different.
As for big or small publishers, I don't care. I'm not interested in big publishers anymore. I've dealt with them in the past, it's no fun. Especially not when I did get the contract and noticed the awefully small percentage they offered me in return and the huge amount they kept for themselves. I declined, after all I put all the hard work in it and yet the offer me only a few percent of the revenue made. I don't make my games for someone else to become rich. I do make them for fun and hope to make a little money of them. If a good publisher with a good deal wants to help me put the fun I create into other peoples hands, fine with me. but if a publishers just wants my hard work to make money of it, I'm not interested.
Anyway back to the game. I really do hope the game will become a huge succes so that it will pave the way for more FPSC titles to be published!
