I just realized.

That if we actually do produce a short-but-sweet iPod Touch/iPhone game, and build up a solid base of 'fans', maybe release another one for free - it's possible that we could release a stable .99c app, and make some revenue off of the hobby.

Now if only all of us knew how to program like gan does, but we still have out own specialties. Once again, Gan, its incredible what you're doing here. Actually pushing us to develop a game.

Which is why I think we should do our own DJ game like this:

Making money is fun, but deciding how much of it each one of us would get is not.

Yeah I completely agree. That'd be pretty awesome, though I'd need to buy a developer license so I can test it on my iPhone and also stick it on the app store.

Yeah, I'm only the pie crust. Each one of you make up different parts of this pie that it would be nothing without you guys. I was thinking I'd like to make a tutorial or something to bring more of you to iPhone programming. It's actually really simple.

Sounds good. After this project is done we can bring the next project's suggestion list up. Stick it there, maybe it'll be picked.

I'd vote for splitting it even. All active members on the project would get an equal slice of the income.
Although at first thought I would actually like us to have a "Gmg Developer Funds" account that us as a team would put profit from our projects in and use that money to further our programming/development skills. Like if wanted, buy a group developing kit such as a team RealBasic software that we all can benefit from.

It would be cool if money goes to a GMG fund like you said, but it pays for the site and for contests. So we can have more of those.

[Swamp7hing]

GMG fund sounds good, like an account where we store earnings to make the site better?

[Gan]

Yeah, also maybe advertise and if wanted to pay a piece of what was made to the developers.


-Gandolf

[Xiphos]

I see a lot of apps with video advertisements before they begin, maybe that could be done and Gandolf and Warhampster and whoever else worked on could get a percentage of the money from that.

[Gan]

Ah yes, it's possible we could do such things. If we wanted to go a step further, we could make great quality games for free but make our income from ads. Then have versions of the game without ads for 99 cents.

And make a company called GMG Apps

That'd be great.

gandalf should take lead of the project sinse hes doing most of the work already, keep whoever made the tiles to finish the art, fire everyone else(cause theyre not needed) and sell it as a dollar RPG

Or, set fire to everyone else. That'd create a sense of urgency.

Ahahahah(QOTM?), don't worry. I'll do neither. We shall figure out all this money business later when the game is finished. Until then, let us keep our sights focused on the real goal: to make an awesome rpg!

[Xiphos]

Honestly I think the only people who did work were Gandolf and WarHampster. I was absent for most of the project but from what I've read so far it seems that way.

[Gan]

Let us see...
Silver created the tiles, also provided a storyline.
WarHampster re-vamped the tiles.
Gnome created the main menu interface.
Other people provided ideas, support, ect...

Did I miss anyone and something else they may have done?
