Hi!
I'm new to game salad, haven't published any games yet, and was just wondering, what is the least sales (in $ or just numbers) you've done in, let's say, the first month?

I was planning on getting in the dev business seriously so I don't want to be disappointed once the sales get disappointing :D

Hoping you'll tell the truth :)

    Arcade Action had ZERO sales the first three days.

    You can read about a theme around here, "Make better games"... but that isn't always it. I think Arcade Action is much better than Photics Fireball but the latter has much better sales.

    Timing is also important too. That's why I'm watching what happens with GameSalad this week. If I can get in there early with Game Center, that can help with sales. That might be worth renewing my iPhone developer registration.

    Unless you have something amazing, don't expect to make much. Concentrate on quality. There are SOOOO many games in the App Store.

    Yes, polish your game to perfection. If you suck at graphics or music, hire or do some royalty deal with an freelancer or (maybe cheaper) an friend. Ask for honest critique. I know its tempting to do the whole game yourself, so you can keep "all the money", but it an game looks bad, nobody will even bother to try it. Remember: you got great looking games in all genres on the appstore. Hard competition.

    1 bad game might hurt your reputation and future sales. I personally never buy another game form an dev thats disappointed me.

    It also helps to promote other places on the web - otherwise how will they know?

    Find your niche, find a great graphics artists at reasonable costs, and polish your game up nicely.

    Download other apps in the store that are close to your genre to get ideas.
