Flash Game Monetization

July has come! What a mess was that June! =) GJ failed, 2 new games on FGL from me. I was swamped with task to fix GJ versions of games. It took almost 5 days - long enough when you get 20 own games, 10 sponsored and own portal =( and I still have to fix few articles in the blog.
Bottom line for my working with GJ: As for money I earned 2k$(2008), lost 1k$ and -1k$-2k$ in short-term.

My new games: Mi and Splitty. They have the same gameplay but different features and target group. These are my first games on box2d, made them both for 7 days working 12 hours every day, straight! =). On Splitty team of 2(coder+artist), on Mi team of 3 people(coder+artist+gamedesigner). Splitty on FGL or Badim. Mi is on the way to FGL, but you can try it on Badim.

Total by Games: 693$, Total by Portal: 261$.

I just get email from Simon, who was in charge of GJ. He agreed to publish it in my blog, so here is it(FAQ after intro):

GameJacket received private seed funding from a small group of games industry individuals who shared the vision. This wasn't cold hard investment cash, the investors spent a lot of their own time helping in many aspects of the business, far more that would be reasonably expected from investors.
