Re: Making Game ready to sell...

[Squeak <mar...@ou...>]

Thank you for your reply...
Jeanine?
Though I don't totally understand what you say...
(apologies... this post has evolved to covering various elements from
different angles)

I like Pipmak because it is light for the end user and developer and runs
quick on Mac OS X, Windows, Linux, ... could it work with Android? ... (UI?)
remember not everyone has a recent spec computer...
... and there are no hidden extras like tracking the user etc...
(I assume everyone reads software terms and conditions..! bits like use of
camera and microphone etc..!!)

... and another minor catch...
... the 2 'U's you state ... may imply they are free...
BUT
If you publish... I understand they want money to use their products...
Which I haven't got...
I have just quickly checked both the 'U's' and 'Cry' they do charge though
the price has been reduced dramatically .... it is also by a sort of
subscription ... so you have to keep paying... not sure what happens if you
don't pay and you start selling loads...
assets etc are also not all free....
Look at the projected 'hockey stick' showing sales... and possible blips...

A friends daughter is doing an accounting degree... they learn to use
certain makes of software... and in a way they are hooked to those
packages...

I use a PC on Win7 (and can change HD to Linux and Win7...) with a long list
of software I have evaluated...
GIMP 2, Audacity and Open Office are free and for what I need beat other
software...
I have held onto most of the evaluated software in case I get stuck...

I have downloaded various software over the years, some known ones that turn
out to be buggy that people rave about... and almost all say something like
'free to use' etc ....
then...
... for the person to start putting all the time and effort in ...
learning it and constructing what they imagine...
only to then realise that if they publish ...
... £$£$£$£$£$ ... #@~ > !!! 
One graphics programme I looked at costs £15000 - to monetarily translate...
more than a new small car costs...

Hope that makes sense...........
