Reminds me of Jason Darby's WWW Pagefinder... he made 1000 copies, and sold one for £14.99

A lesson worth learning, I can tell you.

Stian is selling Hell Creatures & Rotten Corpse for $15 and I bought it. Sure, you can download it for free, but the game is my favorite klik game here, so I thought I should pay my respects. Literally.

Well, I'm not sure wether its wrong or right but there are some click games I would of payed money for, they were better than some professional games (Enter the Matrix for example) What I do sometimes is just make games and then sell them at school. Suckers.

Of course their is nothing wrong with selling click games. In fact their is no reason at all why a click game can't be better than a commercial game. I would pay 50 dollars for a click game if it was commercial quality and was a good game. Why do some of you say things like "I would never pay more than 5 dollars for a click game"? That makes no sense at all. Just because most click games are not worth more than 5 dollars doesn't mean its not possible to make a commercial quality click game. Look at Eternal Daughter, that game could have easily sold for 15-20 dollars per copy.

Also, to make it big you need to sell your game online. Selling to your friends is good, but its kind of rude to sell to them just because they don't know they can get your game for free online. Why not sell your game online AND to your friends? A nice easy way to sell your game online is to use something like softwrap at www.softwrap.com. This program provides copy protection AND handles the payments for you. They even submit the trial version of your game to magazine CD's and download sites for you. Thats probably what I will use for my next game.

Assault Andy, can you please give a link to your friends game? I would like to see it, it must be pretty good if he is making that much!

I wouldn't pay $15-20 for ED...maybe $10.

Maybe I'm spoiled Image.gif"></IMG> my dad is a retailer, so I get most games at cost(which is $40 canadian usually), but games like the sims cost $70-$80 canadian.

Probably why I never bought the sims.
