My Notes
00:00 - Intro
01:06 - My Advantage
03:33 - Launch Day
Sold 10k by the end of the first week.
Sold 12.5k after about 3 weeks.
12.5k X $10 = $125,000 gross revenue
(Don't forget some copies might have been sold on sale.)
06:41 - Money
10:17: After fees, expenses, taxes, Steam's cut etc. there's about 43% left over.
~ $125,000 x 43% = ~ $53,750 profit
This is estimated profits from 3 weeks of sales. Don't forget the game took about 3 years for him to make.
11:05: Don't forget that after you release your game, you get a bunch of bug reports and need to make and ship patches.
11:14 - Patching the Game
13:01: Controller symbols for PS and Switch controllers.
13:18: Level select
13:34: "Bugs" I decided not to fix because they're used for speedruns.
