  • MikeHart: I you wantcto sell stuff, the visual aspect is very important. The days of VCS2600 artwork are over.

  • Pfaber11: Yes they want it all for free most of the time . Sales over and so are the downloads .

  • Qube: Of course I want the games for free!! I've just spent £1000 on a shiny new phone and you expect me to pay £0.99 on a game? :o

  • Steve Elliott: Downloads maybe, but I have a suspicion that people on their mobile devices want everything for free.

  • Pfaber11: I recently had a sale on all my games and I had as many downloads for Android as I did windows . This was on itch.io  . So I won't be dismissing Android any time soon . I don't bother with linux or mac though.

  • Kryzon: There's something of politics too, even if your custom/alternative engine can do cross-platform, sometimes it's easier to get a publisher on board if you're using something popular like Unity. Also because you can send them the project files and another team takes over the porting to consoles etc. -- this happened to a friend of mine and their project

  • MikeHart: As an indie dev, imho windows is all you need.
    September 14, 2019, 07:15:08 AM
  • Steve Elliott: But it was Windows only...Oh well that's in the past now, onwards and upwards...

  • Steve Elliott: It's a happier path.  I'm pretty much a 2D guy, but put a ton of work into learning some 3D techniques - because I thought the engine was extremely flexible, unique and ran like lightening on even slow systems.
    September 12, 2019, 07:58:36 PM
  • MikeHart: I helped so many devs and got burned almost as many times. Doing my own thing now.

  • Steve Elliott: Very true, you think I'll save lots of hard work following this guy, he's not like the previous guy...Then he also shuts down his website and Disappears!

  • MikeHart: Don't count on others. That is all I can say.
    September 12, 2019, 07:17:08 PM
  • Steve Elliott: Cheers Mike and you for Cerberus X.  Yes lots.  I always wanted others to do the work but they let us down.
    September 12, 2019, 07:00:11 PM
  • MikeHart: Good luck Steve. Lots of work.
    September 12, 2019, 06:55:21 PM
  • Steve Elliott: Nope working on an IDE

  • Xaron: Still did not gave up on that idea...
    September 12, 2019, 03:07:17 PM
  • Steve Elliott: Hehe :D
    September 12, 2019, 03:04:27 PM
  • Xaron: So there's still a niche need for a modern BB thing? ;)
    September 12, 2019, 03:03:01 PM
  • Steve Elliott: For writing a game I would prefer something like Nuclear BASIC, oh wait  :/
