Question for Lopdo

[Ratburntro44]

Do you make money off of this game?

[Robomajor]

Yes he does. I believe we had a chat in game about how if this game takes off he would quit his job, actually.

[Lopdo]

Yes I do. Every flash game brings his author some money. Lot of people live from that income (not me). Some choose ads, others sell stuff (like me). So yeah, I make money off it, but as of now, it is barely enough to pay for servers and hosting (multiplayer games are quite expensive to maintain)

[Ratburntro44]

Okay. Do you get paid by other sites (Nonoba, Kongregate, etc.) that put the game up on their site, or does it just make it more popular so more people buy warcoins?

[Lopdo]

the latter, more people play it, higher chance someone will buy something. They don't sponsor me otherwise. Only exception is Kongregate, they share their ad revenue with developer

[dave2069]

i play via kongregate,

I notice that this gamne is quite hard to find on there, not listed undder Multiplayer games, and the total plays you have is reasonably slow to increase.

This I think is because people play vortex wars Many times but KONg only count it as one play per session............
ie i click via kongregate to get to the game once, but might actualy play it for an hour....

not sure if this is correct, or can even be changed...................

[Lopdo]

it is correct, but it doesn't matter. Game hasn't many plays because kong is starting up game slowly, it should get better over time

[Ratburntro44]

Well, at least Kongregate balances it out by giving you ad revenue.

[Joshua]

I play the game on the actual VW site

[Ratburntro44]

So do I. Maybe I'll switch to Kongregate just to give Lopdo a bit extra ad revenue.
