T.I.A Website

Hi there, and welcome to my thread.

"T.I.A games and software" is currently hosting a new project on my internet site T.I.A Games and software

"What is this project?":
Basicly, in a nutshell, it is a project allowing game makers from the GMC and other gameing community's to submit their games for review to be put into a package of 50 games to be sold.

Whats in it for me?
game makers will be paid 45 c each per sale that is made. If you have 2 games included in the package, then you will be paid 90 c per sale that is made, and so on.
So it depends on how many of your games are included in this package.
payments will be made monthly.

"why should I trust this idea?":
payments will be made through a well known secure, service provider called "PayPal",
and for legal security, I have written up an agreement for you to fill out. This is an agreement between Myself and the game maker.
This agreement will include my name, my adress, my phone number, and my date of birth.
T.I.A respects your privacy, so your details and my details, are be kept completely
confidential. your personal information will be kept between you and the computer.

"Whats the point, if my project might not get in anyway??":
Even if your project does not quallify for the project, your game will be viewed and reviewed. so you will be atleast gaining some good feadback on your game, and ideas on how to improve your game for next time.

"Ok, this sounds good. how do i get started?"
To submit your game, please go to the link provided at the top of this post, and head to the "50 games in 1" section, and post a comment with your game link and GMC name so i can PM you.(if you dont have a gmc name, then you will need to register to the website, so i can contact you.)
becomeing a member will put your game further up in priority for review.

for any other info, please post a reply here.

Thankyou, T.I.A

45 cents per sale? How many sales do you normally make?

And would the quality of the game change this price? Could I just lump in one of my dodgy games and get that 45 cents, and would some super awesome game fetch the same price?

45c is peanuts. Sponsorship can be in the thousands. You'd have to sell 1000 before it even starts to become worthwhile.

Ahaha wow! That's the DUMBEST thing I have ever heard. EVER.

50 game package to be sold of free flash games already available on the web and for every game you submit you get a measly 45 c per purchase? WTF IS THAT. Many game designers here on NG get hundreds and thousands of dollars for sponsorship and we still retain all game rights and can distribute our games freely on the web. So this idea you have, really really really not going to attract many (if any) people.

Also, doesn't look good to link to a crappy website where there is a typo right in the first subtitle.

who's gonna buy a disc full of games that are free on the internet? 45c per game for the authors, 50 games, that means that each package will cost you 22.50 dollars to sell, so if you want to make any profit you would have to sell it for at least 25-30 bucks each. who would buy that ????

i think that is good, you dont get your game sponsored for 45c but how much do you get paid for uploading to NG, nothing i hear, even if you put in ads its not that much. give the guy a break i think making flash games that you can buy is a great idea, look at ngame on psp and castle crasher on 360, there are many more as well. so getting a small amount for uploading your game one more time could be a great way to make your game more public.

that's not the point. no one would pay 30 bucks for the cd. there's no point in selling something if no one buys it, is there?

if one person buys it he makes a profit? i think

if it's 10 bucks less, it's gonna be even less than 45c. games not good enough for sponsorship won't be good enough for selling either, so what's the point in earning a dozen of 30c's? no one's gonna put their game for sale just for a couple of bucks
