Category: News ArchiveHits: 687
Development Expenses:
Major expense was the 3d models to make the cards. I estimate I spent around $1k to buy all the models from Daz3.com. For music I used royalty free stock music so very low expense (under $50). No other major expense, except my own time of course.
Marketing Expenses:
Nothing at all, I just submitted new versions to major download sites and sent out PR on my own.
Total Expenses:
Everything considered (graphic, hosting, music), under $1,500.

Total Sales (units):
Around 1100 direct sales (up to 2008) for basically 3 years and 2 months of (product lifetime).
A vague idea of portal sales is less than 120 total for about 2 years.
Price: (USD)
In my own site the game is for sale at $24.95, and the magic shop add on for $4.99 extra. On most portals the game is on sale at $19.99.
Approximate total income: (USD)
Approximate income is $27500. I have to add that since I released Magic Shop, 99% of buyers buy the add on together with the game, so on top of that amount I need to add around 600 sales of magic Shop at $4.99, another $3000.
