[font="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"][color="#111111"] How to earn £12,000 in one year from game development? The Challenge: I have a 365 day runway (until 9 Sep 2012) to earn £20k (about $32k) from games development. The earnings value is based on a UK minimum wage calculation of about £6 per hour 9-5 job, and factoring in that I will have to pay money to make them, buying in music ect, and overheads for payment providers? Resources: Me, Unity, PC, Mac, iPod, Android. Currently I manage to produce game 'Prototypes' like these http://www.kongregat...Arowx/favorites Hurdles: Art, 3D Animation, Procrastination, Funds, Motivation, Experience, Marketing Forfeit: If I have not hit or exceeded this target by the deadline and proved I can make a living from games I have to dust off my CV and get a job! So what advice would you give or better still how do you do it?[/font]
