How much money did my first indie game make? (Steam + Game Bundles)

Did I become a millionaire? Am I a starving artist? How much money does an indie game developer make?

I hope this video will help you to build reasonable expectations about your first indie game. Everything may happen and each situation is unique, so here's my bit of information about the steam indie game revenue I managed to acquire with Nary's help.

If you ever wondered "how much money do indie games make?", I hope that this video will help you get a realistic answer.

Im so glad you said that, about it not being for them if theyre in it for the money. Too many people always focused on what you can make, just focus on being creative and making your ideas come to life. Have a career until you reach a level that you dont need that career, but definitely dont focus on money. Industry is too saturated because of this very reason

Бож.. Смотрю видео FULLY на инглише. Акцента никакого AT ALL не замечаю. Так офигел, когда ВКонтакт увидел 😲
Subscribed. Art is charming.

First, my English isn't very good. second, I couldn't understand anything about bundles. How they can sell your games on their website, how they can buy these keys cheaper and how bundles are sold more than Steam sales? Did you sold your game's keys from low price or like that something? btw I'm talking about 0:55. I can't understand anything about these bundles :/

Спасибо за видео. Интересно узнать как изменились твои продажи и выручка с того момента, помешал ли стим директ и получилось ли выйти на хоть какой-то стабильный заработок.

Can that bundle thing work now? Because 500$ is lot of money in India
