I like writing games (mostly arcade style shoot them ups) and I write them mostly for myself but I’d love to make a bit of money from doing so.
- Is that a bad thing?
- Am I being a bit unrealistic expecting money for this stuff?
- Does anyone have any experience of putting Java games onto steam?
- Do PC arcade games actually sell well (or at all)?
- Is it easy to integrate a Java game into steam?
- Is it straightforward to use their achievements, leader boards and cloud facilities?
- If you have experience of releasing on steam - can I ask how you did? (a PM is fine and I promise not to repeat any info)
- Is it mostly luck or is there a good formula to follow?
These are some of the games I have so far (Alien Swarm, Martian Assemblers and Seas of Neptune).
