I want to get started with game developing using buildbox but my family doesn't allow me to do that and they want me to sit on the shop and i need to prove that there is an opprtunity in this business and i can make a living from it. So if anyone of you who can tell me that can i possibly make at least $1000 a month so i can bear my all expense or else i have to quit this idea. It will be very ueful if i get some help from @Simon Crack , @Kevin W who made it there full time job also i hope some reply from @TreySmith and @Machine Rises .
Game Dev isn't a get rich quick scheme!! It's something that is going to take time to build up your maturity as a designer/developer and a following. For most of us, this is a part time gig that you do outside of work. I don't want to discourage though. There is potential.
You must be patient in this... You need to learn a lot, about the BB , about marketing, about a lot of stuff, maybe one year maybe one month , maybe your first game is a great game, maybe you create 30 fail games. Honestly i make thousand of euro monthly from apps, but from BB i make 100-150 euro , but i love the way i create games, and from beginning until now i started being a `teenager` and slowly slowly i `grow up` . It is important to not lose your faith . Good Luck .
What are you making the most amount of money with? If you can share that info, of course. No need to be specific, but I want to know if you earn a living from developing photo editing apps, or something differently. Thanks!
I'm making between 10-20USD with my Trump game. So if I had 50-100 games in the appstore I could get $1000 per month. I hope that my upcoming games will make a little more though.
What kind of how to draw app ? Do you have any links and what type of apps your creating with company using buildbox. It will help a lot to all of us as i dont have at least $100 to pay the buildbox bills.
Hey OneHit, glad to hear you are doing well with BB and doing something that is different! Very cool.
You can do this, you can even make up to $10k a month. But game developing isn't about money, it's about having passion and innovating the game market. But if you really know what you are doing, then... 1. Build a unique and cool game. 2. Check it if it's ready or not. 3. Contact me. 4. I will get your game to the top of App Store! and ofc Goodluck boy
Ya don"t think about money, think about the joy that come from the game then money will generate itself
There are many ways you can make money in app business btw not just from appstores. You can sell sourcecodes check the webpages chupamobile.com codecanyon.net You can improve yourself in GraphicDesign and Sell Assets at Stockwebsites like graphicriver.net (searchfor Game Assets there you will see) and you can maybe make more money than just publishing an app just by selling assets. or you can improve on motiongraphics and can create opener templates (After Effects) for App business and sell them as motion graphic templates. This is still making money in app business. So the world is open it is up to you. just get into it. Maybe don't try to convince your parents just by appbusiness but tell them the world is changing and people are now earning money online instead of working at a company Maybe this is not global but that is where it is going right now. Btw I will kill my latest sentence it is best for you to work at somewhere to gain experience but not at a local shop but maybe start as an apprentice at a IT company or a Graphic Design company. Gain work experience this is important I think. Also you learn a lot believe my you learn things which you wouldn't learn through books. I wouldn't know videohive.net if I haven't worked for a Tv Channel and I learnt that website through my colleagues. They were using it and they showed my the way. So it is all about sharing and also being socialised and not being lonely at least at this stage. Also you gain speed in thinking and practice when you work beause there is a push factor you are under stress and that stress sometimes can be your best friend to bring the talent inside you. So as a result work at a good place where you can learn something.(A Gamedev company, Local Advertising Agent, Post Production company whatever) I did that I could have worked for my father's company but I started working at a Post Production company for a very little money because I didn't know anything but here I am now making games etc. The main thing is do what you like because the competition is too fierce out there and the only way to deal with that competition is loving what you do as a profession. Good Luck.
