are you making a living out of your Gideros games?

grotly

Is there any Gideros developer/team out there who is actually making a living out of Gideros games? I mean, without any daytime job, just the games published to iOS/Android etc? If you are a Gideros developer and want to motivate others, just reply here with something like "Yes, I make a living out of my Gideros games. I have x games on iOS that bring me xxx dollars/euros per year, y games on Android that bring me xxx dollars/euros per year, z games on A store that bring me xxx dollars/euros per year and I am happy". Or maybe "No, I don't make a living out my Gideros games and my wife gets hysterical every day that I find a day cubicle m'kay type of job".

I'll start. No, I don't make money out of my Gideros games, just because I don't have any Gideros games published. But I want to, some day. Anyway, my wife gets hysterical every day that I should get serious about my day, cubicle, 'm'kay', 'what's happening' () type of job.

In short, yes.

Long version:

+ I'm the co-founder of http://www.guava7.com, a registered company founded in 2012, initially we have 3 people, now we have 7 people.
+ Revenue from iOS/Android store: not enough to be profitable
+ But I have other revenue streams from those games (licensing, etc.), as well as making money from contract works for clients (games & apps)
+ We've been using Gideros for all our games as well as games made for clients

DeBIA is pretty ok with revenue from iOS and Android. It was better a year ago, but we still have something to eat and to develop new games. Make games, have fun.

Just make a game and do not worry for the money. This is your first step.

I echo @jdbc's sentiment. The key to anyone playing the game is: Release it. Until you have, all you have is speculation. Release! Release! Release!

@jdbc, @totebo The point of this thread is to find out if anyone is making a living out of Gideros games, not to enumerate what needs to be done to get there So, are you making a living out of your Gideros games?

no ..... [-X

I think that the question should be "are you making a living out of mobile games?"
I suppose that the biggest problem out there is not gideros, or any other system/language you could use..
