I’d say focus on better presentation. The site is very bland with little to please the eye. More illustrations. The few that are there, pretty much just the logos, don’t look very professional or interesting. The in-game graphics aren’t great either but maybe that can’t be helped.

For the new game, I’d rethink the name… Malathedra goes in one ear and right out the other.

Yeah we did find some more distributors! It’s definitely getting onto portals that has created the most sales.

Well, First I want to say the DL version is not to large.
Second, that I think that the real problem is that the game is a mix of two small nitch markets, and then you went adn mixed them. So of course sales are small.
However I like the art to a degree, and I see you did find a distributer or two how did that turn out?

It actually didn’t boost sales that much. It helped keep things steady for a little while but things dropped off in June. Today we’ve marked the game off by 50% now just to get some more sales going.

We’re focusing a lot of attention on the minor details that lacked polish in Morning’s Wrath for our next game, Malathedra. So far the developers that have tested the game have found it much better then Morning’s Wrath. Hopefully that’s a good sign.

We are working on a deal with a big digital distributor, I’ll be hearing back from them next week to see if they like the full version of the game.

Passive income is passive income. As long as you don’t “lift a finger” to sell your game you’re doing good business in my opinion.

If you don’t know what it is, I seriously suggest getting into basic economics before trying to make a living out of any type of gaming market. It is one of the most elementary concepts what becomes of business and I really hope people stop romaticizing business, money-making and so on as it’s rather straightforward and simple, really. Finding good people is ten times harder than making a good buck out of a good product with proper marketing.

Oh, it’s quite interesting to see all the “big names” in here, like Sakura Games, Positech’s Cliff and so on, great stuff! :D To David I wish luck and I’m eager to hear if the discount boosted the sales!

Cheers!

I’ve emailed Valve a couple of times in the past but never heard back from them. We are currently working on a couple of deals to get Morning’s Wrath out there, I’ll keep you all informed.

Try convincing valve of publishing over steam?

I don’t mean to be harsh, but I think a lot of the lack of downloads could be due to the art style which looks a bit amateurish – the in-game art looks swell, but the promotional art with the pen and ink indie comic look doesn’t quite fit. I’d go for a more painterly style, I think.
