Thaedael Wrote:So you want to start making money on your game? Well then here are a few things you should be aware of! First off, drop the name malboro and vierra! That would be to avoid any legal complications. If you wish to continue to gain support through LoK, I do recommend still holding independent polls on the forum that helped you get a gathering, that way we as well get an increase in flow of traffic, scratch ours scratch yours etc.
That being said, in the long run you could sell it for money but then you get into the weird grounds of other people pirating and redistributing your game, especially since it's flash. This leaves it to either crowd-sourcing (such as offbeater.com, the route that fleshcult went) this allows you to give rewards to those that invest early, you get your lump sum of money ahead of time and that way you can continue to work on it while not being nearly as worried about the means of your existence. The other option is to continue to build a following and do like Fenoxo with corrupt of champions which has updates and donation drives. Either way works, and maybe go so far as to try and get in touch with Fenoxo, he tends to give the fenoxo bro-bump that helps get other projects more followers, though yours doesn't have transformation as a main focus, but should appeal to many there.
Other than that, always put a link in your game back to your blog spot, that way if it gets redistributed without people crediting you, they know where it is from! If you ever need help with co-ordinating with the site, the moderating team will go out of your way to help, I would know, was one for the majority of the time here (as well as majority of the site's existence too actually).
Edit; also you can spread out through other vectors, self-releasing a build on e621.net furaffinity etc. Cast a big net, so that you get more users, and eventually as you build an identity you will have a larger pool of ressources to pull from
Source; years of doing this with pixel art.

I think I may do something along the lines of offering to allow people to "commission" me to add things to the game, along with the "pay for votes" system. Not sure yet.

thats how fenoxo does it for his Corruption of Champions thing, and he's living off of it...so its a viable option. Also, are most of the monsters in the options gonna be in the game eventually?

Eventually is a long, long time .
They're all monsters I'd like to put in the game, no idea if/when that will happen.
EDIT: What do you all think is a reasonable price for a monster commission?
