Andy, thanks for sharing this, a question-- do you have any information you'd feel comfortable sharing about the distribution of Android 2.2, 2.1, 1.x devices that bought/played steambirds?

Wish I could  I outsourced the dev of the mobile editions and don't have easy access to it. I'll see what I can dig up but it might be some time. |

never heard of critical mass before, actually! I'm really interested in it now that it's been brought to my attention though. One of my biggest inspirations was a submarine game for the c64...

Thanks for sharing your numbers. It's really cool that you were able to get huge people to fork out $15 which is relatively huge for a microtransaction.

Thanks for sharing this. It was an interesting read. I also want to say that SteamBirds totally deserves the success. It's a great game!

This was one of the most interesting reads in the Business section so far. Heck, there's so much to learn from this article I had to take notes! Definitely a good read for anybody thinking of following such a path. I'm surprised advertising turned out to be such a bust... well, no after Droqen's comments (in his own thread), I suppose I shouldn't. It's funny, people (myself included) are so opposed to the concept of microtransactions and yet it CLEARLY works quite well. I'm gonna have to rethink a lot of things it seems. |

I'd write a devlog about my current game, but I'm too busy making it.

weasello: I am was wondering, since you have an android build would you be putting this up on the new Amazon App store? they sell your apps cheaper it seems, but give you a much broader audience.
