Daily-Weekly-Monthly Sales

VoidedSkyVoidedSky Member Posts: 1,095
Hi all.
There have been many different topics on sales, so I decided to start a topic that anyone could just put how many sales they are getting a day,week, or month. You don't have to put anything, but I think that it would be interesting to see what everyone is getting. Also if you are doing something to promote your game, and you get good results, then that would be interesting to see also.
Thanks!

    First few days, $10-$20 a day, now around 1-2 sales a day :( better than nothing I guess. When it was free I got 1000 downloads in 2 days, I wish it were that way now

    150$ per day with Duck Hunt. I'm not proud for copying the game. But I make money from it.

    Wow... Very Impressive... Maybe I Should release HALO REACH before Bungie can!

    @DeadPixelZ just saying, that is a very bad way of making a living. Taking someone elses creation and making it "your own". All of us are struggling to create something new and original, and although our games may not be making as much money as yours, at least we can say that whatever we created were our ideas, something that we thought of, not something that's been created thousands of times before. I'm not mad, I'm just saying try to create something original because the process is much more fun! Don't be lazy about and just steal other's ideas..

    I used the popularity of the game to make money. I know it not ethical correct. Create a game with the name Halo Reach and you will get lot's of people downloading it. In just 3 days of duck hunt I made 512$

    I was just kidding bro... Haha while I would really like to make some easy $$$$ that way.... I cant do that... :/

    DeadPixelz. you sir, are a grade A idiot....

    You simply dont learn do you. You got threatened with legal action for previous copyright theft. This time your up against an even bigger company.

    Just because your game hasnt been pulled yet, that doesnt mean it wont be. Do you expect Apple to actually pay you any money made once they do pull it off the store? Consider yourself lucky if Nintendo dont sue you...

    And admitting your wrongdoing on an open forum, and then announcing how much money your making from those illegal activities has got to be the single most stupid thing youve gone and done.

    You really do like bringing attention to yourself, and what your up to, when really you should be hiding, and hoping no one notices you....

    Its only a matter of time before you get yourself into some serious trouble....

    Hi DeadPixels, good on ya for "laughing all the way to the bank" but don't you miss the buzz of knowing people are enjoying your games that all yours, creatively speaking? Today, I've been googling for copyright free/usage free graphics, photos, clip art and illustrations, sound FX, etc; There's a ton of it to find and choose. There's still the creative aspect of manipulating and using these in your games. Far safer than ripping of stuff that's under copyright. Just a thought.

    Apologies CowTechMan for diverting your thread...

    Like I said gyroscore in other posts. I'm currently developing 9 games and I will start 4 more the next weekend.

    Ever hear the saying "quality, not quantity"?

    Anyway, as for sales, I had 1 on my first day for Prankstar in the US store. On the second day I had 14, from various regions. Hopefully the upwards trend continues, though it's not my flagship app... that one is in the works ;) No advertising apart from a couple of status updates on Facebook, which can't hurt, having over 1600 "friends". lol.

    About $50-$100 a day from 10 or so apps. Not great, but who's complaining. Haven't got any GS apps out there yet. Working on my first one.

    Hey DeadPixelZ - sounds like you have a lot of games in the works. You should consider limiting yourself to 1 or 2 at a time. It makes things more likely to get done. I used to start something new every few weeks and then found I never finished anything.

    What are your non-GS games? $50-100 a day is very nice side money if its not your only job!!!

    I'd quit my day job for that money! Oh, wait... I did :P
  • Player_EPlayer_E Member, PRO Posts: 604
    I dont see the point of all the ridicule that DeadPixel is getting, except that some people are jealous because of his "success".

    I guess they dont like the fact that DeadPixel took an existing game and put it onto the iPhone and made some decent cash while others are using their own ideas that are not too successful.
    and I guess that it just really gets to people that their "Next Best Doodle Game" turns out to be just a bunch of hype by earning them $1.99 a day.

    I'll admit I'm no success story, but I dont go around bashing other people success no matter how they came about it.

    It seems that all of you seem to turn a blind eye when someone like Tshirtbooth copies a games and has success with it. If any of you didnt know Red remover is a flash game that can be found on addictinggames.com. Sure Tshirt added more of his own touch to it, but it boils down to the same thing he copied a game and was successful.

    Now I am not Bashing Tshirt for this (like I said I dont care how you came about success I am happy for you), rather I'm bashing all you who has been giving DeadPixel a hard time. Give hime a break and treat everyone the same.

    my good deed for the day.
  • AfterBurnettAfterBurnett Member Posts: 3,474
    There's a difference to making a game in the same genre as another game (impossible not to) and TOTALLY ripping off a game including using all of the original game's sound and artwork... I have no problem with it myself (I'd love to do remakes), but ONLY if the game designer has the permission to do so. Deadpixel's first ripoff went so far as to cut and paste the original game's description and title! It was word perfect!
  • quantumsheepquantumsheep Member Posts: 8,188
    Sorry, PlayerE, but that's got to be one of the stupidest things I've ever read.

    I suppose you'd be ok with me piggybacking off Tshirtbooth's success by releasing 'Stardaze 2' - copying all of the game 'Stardaze' *including* all the same graphics.

    I'd make loads of money like that.

    Tshirtbooth wouldn't be happy with me. But why should I care if I'm being successful?

    Oh. That's right. Because Tshirt can sue me for infringement of his copyright. Just like Nintendo could sue because Duck Hunt is their property. And because it's just plain wrong

    It's in the GameSalad terms of service for God's sake:

    "You further agree that you will not upload, post or otherwise make available on this Site or through the Gendai Games Services any material protected by copyright, trademark, or any other proprietary right without the express permission of the owner of such copyright, trademark or other proprietary right owned by a third party, and the burden of determining whether any material is protected by any such right is on you."

    I'm not blind. I know that with several thousand games out, some will make 'versions' of other games. Indeed, there are a limited number of game 'types' to play around with. There's a difference though between being influenced by something and stealing it outright. Kitchen sink 'n' all.

    I'm personally sick to death of the lack of ethics among some people here, and of others with games on the App store.

    QS ftw!

    In other news... How about that "doodle cannon" game eh?
  • Player_EPlayer_E Member, PRO Posts: 604
    @polygame
    I didnt know removing a red block was a genre of game.

    @ QS
    I would be perfectly fine with you making a StarDaze2 I have no issue at all with that and its not my place to be worried about it. if there is an issue its between you and the original developer, but me being an outside 3rd party I have no concern and am happy you made some success.

    To me what Tshirt and DeadPixel did are in the same ball park. Sure Tshirt did change the graphics and made his own levels i assume, but Red Remover is not a genre of game, so it was an idea that he copied same as DeadPixel. I just dont get why it seems everyone here is okay with it in some instances. No offense Pixel, but I guess since Tshirt seems to be more of a help to the community they dont ridicule him for it.

    Like I said i'm not bashing either DeadPixel or Tshirt I am just bringing my point of view into this to let Pixel know its not him against the world when it come to the "controversy" of his game.

    Tshirt is GOD..... If anybody ridiculed him... They shall perish!!! * <<<<<<<-------------

    Player e... You're right. It's not him against the world. It's him against THE LAW! Like qs said, blatant reproduction of copyrighted material is a serious crime. Now I would suggest quitting this argument because there's simply a lot more objective evidence against your morally questionable "what's right for you is right for you" approach.

    Can we please get back to talking about the topic at hand...because I find it rather intriguing being that I have an app in review as we speak.

    Topic on hand: I made $454,565,957 Yesterday :D

    Only app Sales of course :D

    I guess the point i'm trying to get across that no one seems to be getting is this.

    Im assuming that no one here works for the government let alone the branch that enforces copyright law, so it is an issue no one needs to worry about other than the "copier" and the "originator". (yes, I know assuming makes an ass out of myself but ill do it anyway)

    I have noticed DeadPixel making comments in other threads and people pounce on him out of no where about being a game stealer. also in this thread as well it started as a simple question of game sales and it turned into everyone jumping on DeadPixel about his game.

    If you all can seem to over look Tshirt I dont know why you all cant seem to over look DeadPixel as well. Like I said it is not our place to worry about it so there is no need to bash him about it.

    So why don't you worry about yours,let them worry about theirs, and ill worry about mine.

    Oh you think your a big tough money making app selling machine, huh???

    HOW much $$$$$$ did YOU make yesterday!!!????
  • jweaver911jweaver911 Member Posts: 439
    @playerE..No. We get your point. It's just some people here still believe in a standard of objective morality. I.e. Just because the copyright police aren't going to knock on your door doesn't make it any less wrong. Yes there are gray areas that exist...but you aren't comparing apples to apples. And I believe it's wrong to think that it's none of our business. To some extent, as long as there's that little splash screen in front of our games....we're lumped together somewhat --for better or worse.
    Anyways....

    I hope I make as much as chosenone ;)

    You're assuming that when someone sees something doing wrong, they won't pick up the phone to Nintendo and say "Hey - someone's ripped off your game and is making money from it."

    You seem to be confusing a game concept with a pixel for pixel copy of a game. There is a difference.

    Additionally, DeadPixel does not, as far as I know, have a pro account. Which means it doesn't just affect him and Nintendo, but also the reputation of everyone here when people see a copy of a game with the GameSalad logo on it when it loads up.

    His first game, the volcano one, was picked up immediately by Miniclip (I think that's their name). The name was the same. The graphics pretty much identical (if a little worse) and his description was lifted word for word from the original flash game. He was forced to remove it pending legislation.

    His second game was a pixel for pixel copy of Duck Hunt. Its description was copy and pasted from the Duck Hunt entry on wikipedia. It's no longer on the App store.

    What do you not get about this? I'm utterly at a loss. And getting some sleep as it's almost 5am here...

    Wouldn't be so bad if it WAS a pixel for pixel copy... was a good game. LOL.
    Oh... and it's still in the App Store, unfortunately.

    But yeah, rip-off merchants should stay well clear...
  • Player_EPlayer_E Member, PRO Posts: 604
    @QS

    okay to prove my assumption wrong why hasn't anyone here called Nintendo to inform them of this "disgusting" display of theft?? if its still on the app store I assume that no one has complained to Nintendo yet. although to prove me wrong I suppose someone will call now Sorry DeadPixel.

    as for me understanding, I do understand fully that there are copyright laws, but like I just stated if it bothers you THAT much why havn't you called Nintendo yourself to report this?? Instead you feel the need to constantly bash DeadPixel. obviously if it doesnt bother you enough to call Nintendo then why say a word to DeadPixel?

    I'm 19, and I guess I grew up with the ideals of not judging someone no matter what. It is not my place to tell someone what they are doing is wrong and I firmly believe that as long as you are not harming me or my loved ones do as you please.

    now I realize that the last statement there opens me up for criticism
    "why are you telling us bashing pixel is wrong!? we should be able to bash pixel according to your logic!"

    I guess i'm saying all this cause after see a few threads and posts just harassing the guy I felt someone needed to stand up for him and give him some kind of defense.

    So yes, I am on my soap box right now and yes, I am trying to push my ideals onto people.
