This has been wandering my mind. Is it wrong to sell click games? I mean people dissed heliummanX and others because the creator wanted to sell them and they were pretty good but I never heard shit about Terminal Orbit which since I really played it, think it is crap. No klik game unless really awesome is worth(what was it 20 bucks?) I mean the game frickin lags when you send 2 units into the enemies base. Also the graphics aren't the greatest, I know I probably couldn't draw them but if you wanna sell a game you might wanna have pretty darn good graphics in it.
But enough about that. Is it truly wrong to sell click games? I don't think so since. You spend 99 dollars on mmf for crying out loud. Just to make a game people will diss you for trying to sell? This just blows my mind!
Then MMF Pro is 349 dollars if you couldn't have the chance of selling a game your just wasting your money.
Sell tell me, is it wrong to sell click games or are people who diss the other people jealous because they aren't good enough or don't have the guts to try to sell a click game?

I think you have to make a real good, big, bugless and cool game if you want to sell it.
I think none of the clickgames so far are good enough to be sold. another option of getting money is asking for a donation of course. if people think its crap they don't have to pay.
and of course the dissing people are jaleous

i think that if you seel click games, they shouldn't cost 20$. That's too much imho. If you make click games, it can almost be guaranteed you do it for the fun of it and not for the money. If you're after money, i think tgf/mmf are the wrong progs to go for. But if you DO decide to sell it, make it a realistic amount. Like 5$, max, or something like that.

i think its fine to sell games to a few people you know, however you must be realistic, trying to sell games on the net really cheap or really dear is stupid. if i ever finish my game Tombombi i plan to sell it to people at my school, and ill probably upload it to DC for free, but im not gonna try and sell it to you guys, because i would like an unbiased opinion, but with non-klikers ill probably only charge about $5, and i dont expect to get a profit but to pay off what i paid for the product. i cant see in anything wrong with that.

I think it's really weak when someone thinks they can try and sell really crappy games. I've seen that before. But anyways, Click games could be sold for more than $20, it just has to be worth that much. But you have to hype it and all, send out demos, and make the people want to pay that much for the game. You would problably have to make the game very big tho, and make sure like the dude said to not have any bugs what so ever. Invite some of your friends over to test it for you. But what ever you do, do not bug test it yourself. It's impossible for the creator to find the bugs in a game, unless you just so happen to be god. Get at least like 10 people to try it. So yeah, if you wish to sell your game, be my guest.

I would never sell a click game myself, as I am in this for my love of gaming. However, I would buy a click game on these conditions:
1. The game would have to be of a very high quality with little or no bugs.
2. The game should have enough hours of gameplay to make it worthwhile. (A good 12 hours would be sufficient.)
3. The game should not really cost any more than £5, (that's about $8.)

personally i'd never sell a game. clicking for me is a hobby, and if you're looking to profit out of a hobby, it no longer is a hobby, if you see what i mean.
besides, no one would buy my games anyway .
but if you wanted to sell a game, you could probably do a better job than some of the "professional games" that get published. do a search on gamespot for games with less than 2/10, you'll wonder how some games ever get published. and if that's possible, then selling click games sure as hell is.
but i think the best route to take is shareware. get everyone downloading your game for free, then a few nuts will buy it.

Hey, quite a few people have done it. In fact, Addictive 247's game Solid Spheres won a shareware game award and beat Quake 3 Arena - that's got to mean something
I have to say, some people must've been seriously deluded (<cough>HCGAMES</cough> if they thought they could sell their rubbish screensaver/game. The game has to have quality and longevity! The alpha version of Terminal Orbit isn't that good, and I certainly wouldn't pay for it.. however, Tigerworks has been making improvements and made it faster, so it should be OK. (and if not, why not? grrr!  ) I think £14.99 would be too much though - dollars, maybe, but he didn't say that.

But not if it's as good as or better than a commercial game you'd pay £20 for!

Look at it this way; of course its nice to get some money for what you do as a hobby... I dont think its really wrong or right... you see it is the approach the game maker him self that decides if the game is worth it or not... considering most thing are CRAP absolute, unber crap! But, if youve got a game that people all over the world are willing to buy for an easy 10 bucks... why not?

i don't think you can just decide if it's wrong or right. If you think you're game has what it takes and you wanna do it, try and sell it. If not, then wtf, it's a great hobby...i'm gonna be a game programmer, and using click products since 98 has been a blessing because it gives me an impression of how i gotta think when i program....so ...well
