Making money from HTML5 - some links and possibilities!

Ninjadoodle

Hi guys

Since the Kickstarter is currently going, I just wanted to post this in order to raise some awareness to how great an investment this is.

Many big companies / portal will pay you for your HTML5 games on their website. If you sell non-exclusive licenses, you are completely free do do whatever you want with your game on top of this.

Some ways to monetise HTML5 games ...

- Sell Licences (exclusive / non-exclusive)
- Put ads in your games and on your game pages (if you have your own site)
- Distribute your game to portals for rev share

Some resources for you info ...

Good post. It could be that html5 is a better route to making some money from games. The app stores seem very crowded at the moment. Exporting from Gideros to HTML5 would be beyond awesome!

@Ninjadoodle, thanks for opening this thread. I am not in the game industry myself, but obviously everyone wants to make money from their games, and the links you provided will be helpful.

is a great place to get info about the market, once you post there, a hidden business forum shows up with links to publishers. But the market is already very saturated. It isn't definitely easy money anymore. I enjoyed it while it lasted.

About the truevalhalla guy, I don't recomment his book at all. Its wasted money.
