I make nothing. I took my wife's old PC to use for a dedicated server as mine was hosted on my PC. However, it was consuming WAY too many resources rendering it nearly useless for anything else.

I'm compiling a linux distribution from scratch for this box and it's taking forever to get every little detail 'just right.' Even that has been put on pause because of my actual 'paying' projects and my 'full-time' work. I'm also moving into my new home between all of this, so I just don't have much time for anything right now.

Not making much more than $5 a month. but if I was to add ontop of that the hosting it would be minus $5 a month

But I'm not including that since my hosting is for another site not for the game it self.

I aim to be making more in a couple of weeks though

New round, and the game has been remade to be more useable and easier to play.

Way more then 100

sometimes we earn 100 per day (lucky day)

Waizujin · « **Reply #4 on:** July 07, 2008, 01:24:27 PM »

$100 a day!? How many players do you have?

Go_on · « **Reply #5 on:** July 08, 2008, 02:37:04 AM »

5000+ players, 30-65 online the whole day.
The last few weeks we get everyday at least 50 euro. Then sometimes nothing, but then suddenly we get over de hundreds on just one day.

Whe have some generous players

The revenue is higher the last weeks, because we got into Game-advertising-online.com and got the chance to advertise on Tribalwars and other big games for some parts of the day.
We might earn a lot, but we do some major investments in advertising...

Pm me if you want to know the url

Waizujin · « **Reply #8 on:** July 12, 2008, 12:21:37 PM »

WoW, that is some amazing revenue. Maybe my game will one day make that much. But I don't plan on advertising at first. I want to experiment to see how many people and how fast I can get by players telling friends etc instead of advertising.
Saves me money anyway

What type of game do you have? And PM me link please.

Much more than $100. Also, when your game have rounds (so people donate on irregular basis), more than $100 one day is not so rare.

atm nothing do to my game being in beta all donations that i recieve now go to cost of server . and game development. i have 400 players on beta testing and it still growing each week. hopefully ill have a good launch date next week . so im guessing about 100$ on my launch day

When I started creating my game, it was more just to learn PHP and mySQL.
Then when I actually started to get a game I was enjoying, I released it to my forum.

I've made a little cash off of it, but the best part is I've learned a ton in PHP over the past year.
Still have a long ways to go, but it's been fun learning all this and making a little money off the game too

JGadrow · « **Reply #13 on:** March 10, 2009, 07:16:12 AM »

Well... if you consider the fact that working on my first bbg was what motivated me to learn PHP and that I now work as a full-time PHP developer I guess you could say: $3750

simka · « **Reply #14 on:** March 23, 2009, 09:01:13 AM »

I make aprox. $ 450 monthly basis.. I think that would be the maximum also, as here, in my country lives only 1.5M people and there are already too many bbased games..

pavansss91 · « **Reply #15 on:** March 23, 2009, 12:12:28 PM »

I make nothing lol

I am new to PHP but learnt a lot in just few weeks
I Just started a very good project of BBGame a week back.

As i don't have creditcard so i can't get domain name and i can't go for dedicated server
So my game will be late but it will come with all Wonderful features

how does the size of your country have absolutly anything to do with game revenue? Or even the internet itself for that matter?

Easy fix, pay someone to translate it into english. English is a wide known language and most people have atleast a basic enough grasp of it to play a bbg.....

edit: He speaks english so he could just translate it himself if his native language isn't english.
