I agree with the quoted comment .
Back to work Artemis Clyde Frog and make those millions! I could earn a lot as a researcher, but doing my hobby (at a reasonable salary) I think I would enjoy much more. Either that or I maybe setting up an instrumentation company with my supervisor...
Anyway I miss the days of clicking for the fun of it...
I make $0, obviously. I don't care to profit from game design at the moment, as I have too many other things going on. I plan to put more effort into it in about a year when I have a better setup.
You guys just seem to think that its 100% impossible to make large amounts of money making "indie" games. The guy that made cactus bruce was making tens of thousands a month. I wouldn't exactly say that cactus bruce is amazing by any means, nor would I expect any of his other games to be revolutionary. That tens of thousands was only 40% of what his games were netting because he was using a portal for most or all of his sales. I don't know the exact figures as its been a while, but he had a blog or something talking about it at one point in time.
Anyone who thinks that you can't make any significant amount of money off of click games is an idiot, hands down, and examples like these are exactly why I can't stand this community.

Clyde, sometimes I really cannot believe you are not a fake account.
At no point have I said myself or anyone else could not make money making games with click products.
I just said I personally could not be bothered to do so, as I would only sell things I would be proud to put my name on. Such things would require 100s of hours of work (such as my current game, which some people have seen its early engine and artwork). How long did that guy make "tens of thousands"? Probably not those long, as game sales usually drop off quite quickly upon release.
I am a terrible perfectionist, and I would probably spend far too long on a game. That said I would love to make money (and a living) making games, is it not the reason we are all here? We love making games. Try reading my posts better next before trolling , nice try but no cigar.
I could just earn a lot doing my profession, which would be a lot more secure give the fact I maybe settling down with my lady soon...

Huh. Nobody ever said such a thing. It's possible to make money with indie games (I do so myself and it's more than $800 thankyou) and we all know the example of Blue Tea games (I worked for the guy in the old days) but it IS hard, and it IS a lot of work to pull it off right.
I'm exited about the iphone exporter, but it had I'm not sure how usefull it will be if you need a Mac to compile it so I hope that's not true. Personaly I think the more devices/systems MMF can export to the better. One thing I really dislike about the games indestry shifting so much toward consoles is the "console exclusive" games. There have been a few times I've seen an iPhone game that I can't play becosue I don't have an iPhone. With the new exporters coming out you could develop a game that could run on iPhone, Black Berry, Android or XBA... or NXA or whatever the Micrasoft thing is. And if you don't wont to develop for one platform, then don't buy that extension.
That's my take on it anyway.
