Forums - Microsoft - I made an Xbox Live Indie Game and would like your feedback!

I dont know much about theese indie game. Can everyone make games, and can they earn money?

I will def check to se what you did :D



Around the Network

I have the demo qued up, I will let you know what I think of it once I play it.  I have a few questions for you if you dont mind.  How many people have downloaded the demo?  How many actually purchased the game?  And how long did it take you to make the game?   I have some minor programing under my belt and have thought about trying to do something like this.  And was wondering if it was worth my time or not. 

 

Thanks, and if I like your game I will buy it for sure.

Thanks for doing that.  I noticed that alot of the downloadable games do not have sales.  I would gladly update vgcharts with my sales data.  I am not sure if they would beleive me.


keep us updated man... this is a sale tracking site it would be awesome to see... especially if you make games that span diffrent price teirs



I've heard the indie games section on XBL does not sell very many games, but good luck to you and congrats on the game. Porting this to the iphone might be a good idea.

I need this. - The Gaming PC and PS4, and Xbox 360, and thePS3's . Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.

Ya you have to pay to be part of the creators club.  Then you have to pass review from your peers then you see 70 % of the sales of your game.



Do you have a PC demo???

These sales data are not official.  Well about 2500 have downloaded since release.  I  know that xblig do not make much money.  I really just wanted to have a game in my portfolio that is on an xbox.  My programing experience is a 1 and half year course at a post secondary institution.  There i programed in mostly c++ which is what most profesional developers will be programing in.  I t took me roughly 3 months to develop all by my lonely.  Made the game in roughly 2 months then ported it to the 360 and spent a month polishing and optomising.  I don't know if you have played an indie game before this one.  I have played all of them.  Alot of them are not games like screensavers.  You could give that a try if you do not have a lot of programing experience.  There are a few starter kits like for a platformer.  Theese pretty much have a full game and allow you to tweak and change the art.
