Which games did you developped with GE?

[regis]

Hi to you all,

I was wondering which king of games people here achieved to perform using the marvelous tool GE?
Asking to myself this issue, I would suggest we communicate to eachothers, explaining, for instance:

1. The name and type of the game we have developped until now

2. The number of months and of persons necessary to make it work

3. The commercial sites used to sell there game

4. The platform they used (PPC, WM, Linux or WinXP)

5. The price of the game

6. The date of disclosure

7. The number of downloads
This last point (n°7) is of great importance because it could help people using GE to establish predictions concerning there game.

8. Our future project

Why not sharing this experience here?

Best regards,
Regis

PS: concerning my own situation, my answers are:

1. "3D STAR RACER": a precalculated 3D space shooter with some "race against the clock" sequences. More infos are available at the following URL:
http://www.pocketgamer.org/showthread.p ... eadid=5130

2. As a hobby (part time), it took me nearly 2 years to do it, which may be translated to 4 to 6 months (full time). It is a 100% personal hobby (grafX, music, and coding), but I had great help from people here through the GE forums and from Makslane of course. Many thanks to you all.

3. I project to sell it on Clickgamer at first (they offer you 75% on the sales (instead of 65%) during the first 15 days if they have exclusivity). I think about Handango and Pocketgear, afterwards.

4. The game is designed for PPC and WM machines. It takes 70MB of free space on a mem card.

5. The price is an issue, but I am thinking about a price between 15-19$.

6. The date of disclosure: 1st May 2006 (may be a delay of a few days because of RPN registration issues).

7. The number of downloads: ?

8. Future project: to have a rest!

Her...Well,
This topic dos not seem to interest the community : is it because there is a grammatical mistake in the title (I put "developped" instead of "develop"???)

[Fuzzy]

No, its very interesting. It just might be that it doesnt lend itself to a reply; people might not want to share that with everyone. Give it some time, you may get more results.

Thanks for the information.

Hi regis:

I actually think that your questions are of great interest. I've often wondered about many of them myself. In my own case, I can't help you much because I use GE for enjoyment and learning purposes so I've never tried selling anything. Maybe someday... <sigh>

I have seen questions similar to yours posted in various other programming forums over the years. For some reason, there never is much response.

I tend to think ThreeFingersPete is on the mark with the thought that most people try to keep the money/sales stuff somewhat private. I wish there was more sharing in this area because it would help some of us who 'aspire'. I guess that the best bet is to give it a go and see what your results net you.

I wish that I could be of more help. I do remember reading something someone wrote a while back in the forum that said he had made back the money (and then some) that he'd spent on GE. I thought was great and by now, he should be doing even better.

Hey congradulations on finishing your game and Good Luck! Two years--Wow!

[regis]

Many thanks!
Have a look at my last post today!
Regards
Your friend
Regis

I know this post is old, but it would be nice if you GE veterans would have these game demos available for play on the PC... I don't have a pocket-pc to check them out on...

[Sgt. Sparky]

I like to post my Demos and Games alot for free(because they are not selling quality. )
but I have been working with GE for just over a year.
so I cannot be called a veteran, but I have been on the forum for less than that.
but I know this is random:
beyond the tech looks like a gangsta'
