Making a living on stencyl my dream

I wouldn't be too hasty there. Indeed, its a pretty significant sum of money, but $25,000 for a year isn't necessarily as fluffy as it sounds (plus, as mentioned, we aren't accounting for rev share cuts;) compare this to Mike at Ludum Dare who was asking for what was probably a close to bare minimum $3,000 a month to cover living expenses, which is $36,000 a year. I'm sure he's very pleased with the results, but I'd guess its by no means a complete living. Colburt can correct me if I'm wrong though.

Just wanted to make sure we're being real about things.

You will also have to take into account any taxes taken out. That's if you live in the US though, I'm not sure how other countries handle it.

Even then it's still nice see people having success in the IOS App Store, considering how hard it is to make any amount of money on their.

You can search for your game name in App Store and Google Play store and see if an exact match shows up. If you're publishing a mobile game.

Do you have to pay them to do that?

Some review sites have a fee you pay for a game review, others just require a free copy of your game and you're put on a waiting list. I've never actually done it myself, but have looked into it.

You could also have your game reviewed on a popular app review website. You can get a lot exposure for your game that way.

Recently finished playing Dark Souls 2. It was a fun game, only had a few rage quits. Haha

I'm thinking of starting Quintet's Heaven and Earth Trilogy (AKA Gaia Trilogy). Which is actually 4 games, Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia, Terranigma, and Granstream Saga.
