Don’t quit your day job? Here’s why I haven’t…
Aug 24th
On September 14th Golemizer will be 2 years old. I was wondering which way I could highlight this anniversary so here’s a look at how it did on the financial level. I won’t go into much details about the why it did good or bad as I’ve already touched these on my blog (and still [...]
The value of money
Jul 4th
If you can’t sell a game every 52 minutes, you will need a day job, basically.
That quote is from Cliffski. That guy make games and make a living out of them. Don’t get me wrong. I fully know the value of money but that quote still struck imagination.
So I know the value of money? Yep! [...]
Motivation because we all need it
May 31st
For more than a year now I’ve been staring at this frog on my desktop at work (scroll a bit). Stole it from Juuso here.
As stupid as it might sound having this in my face all day long kinda helped. Each time I felt like this job of mine was about to get away with [...]
Financial status, year 1
Mar 11th
I finally completed my tax calculation for the first year of operation of Machine 22. So far I didn’t really bothered to keep an eye on day to day stuff. Keep logs of everything and make sure there’s still money in the bank account was what I did.
So it goes like this:
Revenue: $1,985
Expenses: $4,456
So for [...]
Shooting down Blimp Wars
Mar 5th
It’s that time of year again, tax time.
It’s also that time where I update my financial planning. This year $2,000 is missing … That’s when I remembered about this thing called Blimp Wars.
I really thought I had something there so I never hesitated to get full original art. That was quite some money but I [...]
Golemizer stats or why you DO want to give it more exposure

Accounts created in 1 year and a half before the integration on Kongregate
38,000
This was done with almost no help at all by the way. I only did 1 interview recently, sent multiple press releases that were never posted anywhere but on low traffic websites, sent many mails to reviewers without receiving an answer, was featured [...]
$20 for 6 inventory slots in Allods
Feb 19th
Either it’s an error or someone is a bit greedy.
The situation is interesting though. Either players are just complaining just for the sake of it (aren’t forums meant for that? … I’ll need to write about this) or it means that they already have their credit card ready to spend plenty of money.
So if some [...]
3 days of work and 7 days later : Success?
Jan 20th
For the release of Blimp Wars I decided to finally dive in ActionScript and build a small shooter using the same art as Blimp Wars.
The game took me 3 days to build as I was learning from the Shootorial on Kongregate. I submitted the game to Kongregate of course, NewGrounds, to Mochi Media and to [...]
Steal a crayon
Jan 8th
Kloonigames is inviting everyone to steal their game Crayon Physics Deluxe!
Well, ok they didn’t use those words but technically it’s not far from truth. Now don’t get me wrong, I think it’s a good idea. Others have done it and just the press coverage it offers is good enough to justify doing it.
In fact you’re [...]
