Why? The people who backed them on Kickstarter still paid for the game. The average person donated $20 for this campaign. So the profit should be slightly higher than my numbers suggest, but it doesn't really matter that much. Around 15k people backed this on Kickstarter: 15.000 * 20 = 300.000 These people got a "free" copy of the game. That means at least 285k people bought the game since 6 December: 285.000 * 15 = 4.275.000 4.275.000 - 720.000 = 3.555.000 This means the profit was actually $3.555.000. So each developer earned $24.687,5 per month during the 2 year development cycle (not incudling monthly paychecks). |
well, according to the blog, they didnt get payed for some months^^ and nintendo spend some money on pr not much, but it was featured in a direct an supported in other places it was worth it i guess, they have now good relationships to a competent studio with enough money to ake 2 more games.
