Forum FAQ

DavidRM · 2002-04-05T20:21:42

To date this forum has never had a FAQ. Mostly this is because FAQs require time and effort, not just to pull together, but to maintain. (Also mixed in with this is the implicit understanding that anyone who won''t search a forum for questions similar to his own before asking it again for Nth time in the last week is not going to bother perusing a FAQ. But I digress.) So, in the optimism of that always follows the GDC, even in slow years, I will now begin collecting questions and answers for inclusion in the GameDev.net Business Forum FAQ. To get things started, here are some samples: Q. How much do game programmers get paid? A. Not enough. Q. Is it really possible to make money as an independent. A. Yes. Your mileage may vary. Practice starvation in small doses before trying it For Real (tm), though. Q. How do I setup my game company? A. The procedure varies according to your country, and even your particular state (within the US). Q. I''ve got a great idea for a game and-- A. (interrupting) Wrong forum. Q. I''m looking for someone to help me program my game-- A. (interrupting again) Wrong forum. Of course, some of these questions have much more complete answers available within our humble forum archive. I''ll see what I can dredge up that seems inspired and useful. Full credit will be given to the original posters in this case. So, submit what you consider to be the most frequently asked questions that also get answered. That way we''ll be as complete as possible. Thanks. DavidRMSamu Games

I can recommed
www.regsoft.com as a credit card registration service. They charge a minimum $3 commision on sales and you can customise everything about how the registrations are handled. There are cheaper services, but I have used RegSoft for 3 years without complaint.

I can also recommend www.webaxxs.net for webhosting, they give great reporting options, they will do email redirects but dont provide web access through dialup, just web and domain hosting.
