Revenue breakdown for Solipskier iOS and Flash game »
It is great to see developers share breakdowns of their revenue as it does help others to project possible income. I was surprised to see only $1k generated from ad revenue on Kongregate since it was a popular game and considering it generated over $70k on iOS sales.
Still, it made a very tidy profit for two months worth of sales and look forward to seeing their next game.
Indie co-working space and Tech City UK
As I was at the Develop Conference (Indie Day track) the other work and there was a general case of independent developers being really independent and missing the ability to talk shop with peers and bouncing ideas off one another.
Therefore, I was recently looking at setting up a co-working office space primarily aimed at Indies and creatives and started to do research in the co-working spaces currently available and see if it was viable.
(You can find the research document here: Google Docs).
It turns out it isn’t. Profit margins are very tight and ideally needed to be supported in some way and have constant events going on. Examples being TechHub and The Trampery which are supported by the Tech City UK government initiative.
For those interested in co-working, this wiki was very useful as it had links to spaces all over the world.
