That's fine

I have another version out there, with MochiAds and MochiCoins; where people can buy extra points

I don't mind too much about cheating, as long as I get some cash.

Good name, seriously.  That game was... just... WHAT 

I can't even rub my belly and pat my head at the same time, my goodness -_-

But can you tap your heat and your belly at the same time?
As well as your nose, knees, ears and chin all at the same time?

So, this is my next flash game; a collection of 8 little one-button minigames.
Play it on Kongregate:http://bit.ly/hYZC6Y

The game took too long to make and then was overlooked by all sponsors.
So being throughly annoyed with everything to do with the game, I decided on this name to try and spark some interest.

If you're reading this, it worked. 

This is why I'm attracted to XNA

I made a Scolling Shooter in XNA.

It didn't sell very well

Although, it's going better than expected as a pay-what-you-want deal on Yawma.

Sorry if I'm derailing the thread but do you have to be logged on internet to play the games on Impulse?

I'm 99% sure you can run games on Impulse when not connected to the internet.
You just need to be connected for the inital verification and download when you first get the game.

Also, if you're looking at buying SHMUP, buy it here: http://bit.ly/cuOkF7
It's cheaper for you and I get ever close to them sending me a cheque

Yes, very much yes.

I haven't earned much from my game, but 75% of the money I've made has been from having the game on Impulse.

What is your game?

S.H.M.U.P

Yes, very much yes.

I haven't earned much from my game, but 75% of the money I've made has been from having the game on Impulse.

I'm fairly certain that yo don't have to implement steamworks into your game to be on  Steam.

but there is still the big hurdle of actually even getting an email back from them, let alone them actually letting your game on the system.

I hav a a game on Impulse and thir terms are non exclusive.

To be honest I don't think any of those platforms would try and make you sign exclusive deals.

But I don't have any experience with any others.

MochiAds has been terrible to be compared to CPMStar. In the time it took me to make around $5 on Mochi (a joke of a revenue steam), I had $90 (somewhat less of a joke) on CPMStar. And this is for a pretty crappy game. I suppose that the top Mochi games may make a bit more (Bloons  ), but in general I would say steer away from MochiAds and opt for CPMStar if you have the option. I haven't talked to a single person in the industry who would disagree with that statement.

Just signed up for CPM Star and I see that they need some kind of sponsorship code...

It seems people are interested in hearing about what people earn.

So I've got this game called Cascade.
It's a match-3 with a bit of a twist.

It didn't get a sponser through FGL.
So I put MochiAds into it and spent some time sending it out to a heap of portals.
A few weeks later, I put it Platogo's API and put it up on Facebook and a few other sites.

After just over a month of initally putting in MochiAds, I present to you the data:

On the other hand, my game was developed in XNA, and we made an .msi installer. Whats kind of file type is necessary for putting games up on places like steam? Anyone with relevant experience?

From what I've heard value doesn't like xna games or c# for that matter very much. The only xna game I've ever seen on steam was Blueberry Garden which had to win the igf to get on steam.

Delve Deeper http://store.steampowered.com/app/63800/ is made in XNA...

Bears Vs. Bots (working title) is a mash up of Risk and Zilch. Taking the basic territory grab game play of the original Risk and teaming it with the skill based Zilch dice game. This makes the game a bit slower, but much more tactical.
The project has currently been in production for just over 3 months, as a university project and is at a very playable (start to finish with two - four players on one computer) late alpha stage.

I'm looking for an artist to do a total re-do of my programmer art assets amd potentially a musician and sound effects artist; while I implement AI, multiplayer and a little more functionality. I'm looking to get the game sponsored and later potentially make a physical table top version done. I'm offering profit share, all depending on the amount of people that I decide is needed to bring the project in.

All depends on what you call a small chunk, too.

I think, from what I've read that it's about %30.
Which seems to be about standard for services of that type, that do some advertising for you.

Ahhh, I'm just relying on Kongregate; I have no idea if the game has been ripped and is anywhere else.

Looks like I'll have to dig in to the bowels of Flixel to add Mochi*, and then see what happens...

It's very easy to get 100,000 views with a flash game.

Damn, I must be doing Flash games wrong...

I'd say the depends on where you're targeting. But I'd say that a single good game would be better than multiple not-as-good games.

I have a game on Impulse and communication with them has never been a problem. But then I haven't had t talk with them for about 6 months...

I'll just quickly add my first experience with FGL.

I made a fairly average twist on the match-3 puzzle game. It took about 15 hours to make, over a few weeks (usually while I was in lectures).
Put it up on FGL and did some updates.
Over all I've had 13 sponsors look at it, about half of them stay long enough to play the game at least 5 times and I never had any bids or contact from any of them.
After a 2 months or so, I put it up on Kongregate  and so far have earned about $8 from it 

Would you mind putting up a link to the game? I'm curious to see what it's like.

Sure can!

Here it is: Cascade
