Naji: That's not completely true. And maybe your first question was wrongly formulated.

It must be notified that that 95-5 percentage applies to independent game developers.

The game making industry is the strongest industry worldwide, making more than the movie industry for the past years.

In this industry, a lot of major companies offer more than decent salaries to their workers, namely developers, assets producers (graphic artists, musicians/sfx designers,...), etc...

Some people come out of schools where they learn those crafts and make a pretty decent amount of money in the next years.

If you want to embrace the game making career, you can select that path and enter the industry in big companies.

Now if you prefer/chose to go the independent road, it might be a safer road to indeed have a side-job that will make sure you have some income no matter what. But it's doesn't maybe make it always easy to keep on making game, because depending on the "day job", you have to struggle with fatigue, demotivation, etc...

Once again, you're still young, and at your age, you could just take advantage, learn/make as much games as possible and work well at school since the skills you learn there can be poured into your games anyway.

Then in a few years, you'll be able to make the point on what you know about making games and if it is worth it for you to go the independent road, or maybe try to join the industry in a "big company".

Once again, and has already been told to you in other threads you're so young, you have time on your side.

I see you going through those forums asking a lot of questions, apparently serious and enthusiast about making games, but it sounds like you don't really take in the answers given in the end.

At your age, make games, don't bother about the rest.

Listen to the feedback given on your games and improve them based on that feedback. Don't bother about the rest.

— Thanks for this advice, I'm really grateful My goal was to work on a large game company and make my own games, but sometimes i feel hesitant. Actually I'm the 1st in my school, always get high grades, thus my dad wants me to be a doctor or an engineer, and earlier when I began making games and told him that I want to make games as a career, he discouraged me and made me feel bad, but I know he wants the best for me and want me to live better than him. That's why I'm asking all this questions about salaries and the industry.

me and some other are having this problem,

Please if anyone could know the problem or tell me how you make looping music, I will be grateful.

I also Have this problem

So I read all the posts and I concluded this: To be not risk of starving when I grow up, I should work another money-making job and make games as hobbyist, in that way, I can do what I like and in addition get few bucks from it. am I right?

I was seeing a post that a guy asked how they much they make profit from the game making. DUTOIT replied that it is a multi billion industry, but 5% of game developers gain big bucks while 95% of them starve. Is that true?

Do you know the profits in a games?

Multi Billion Dollar Industry - huge profits

Is for download? how mach for each?

$0 to couple hundred dollars

other way to earn money with the game?

Licensing, Advertising, Owning, Playing, Renting, etc etc etc

5% of game makers make big bucks.

95% of game makers starve.

DUTOIT , I dont understand, If game industry is a multi billion dollar industry, how 95% of game developers starve so then comes the question: is there hope for new game developer who is seeking for making games as making living?

yes, Just click on the layout on the right screen, then search on the left screen for the word Margins, there you can set the new size!

Yes you can make it on C2. Add two plugins : Browser and two button. Then go to events and do this:

On button "anyname" clicked ==> action: "system" take screen snapshot

On button "anyname2" clicked ==> "Browser" Invoke download file : Canvassnapshot Name: "anythingyouwant.png"

Hope it will help!

I have never been on the market, but from my experience and after seeing other her on Scirra, Mobile games are good in market than browser game, because everyone has a mobile phone, hasn't they?

Google Chrome get sometimes bugs and errors, IMHO try to uninstall Chrome then downloaded again.

I guess that C2 allow you to make games for free on C2 free version but if you want to make a game on c2 and sell it you must buy C2 personal licence but if you got profit of more than 5000$ so then after it you must get the business licence.
