   how much on average a 2D game sell
  Hi All,it is my first attempt to create a commercial 2D game.I want to know how much on average should I expect on sales? 
  depends how good your game is and how well you market it. there''s a lot more involved than it being a 2d game. take the Worms series for example.   My HomepageSome shoot to kill, others shoot to mame. I say clear the chamber and let the lord decide. - Reno 911 ;  as above said.. also you would be suprised in how many simple 2D puzzle/card games are being sold... oh and use a payment system similar to paypal, i mean ppl just throw their money when they see those..Talking from own experience ;  Diablo II is 2D. Check the sales figures for that.If you''re talking about 2D puzzle games (snake-type) as far as I know, they don''t sell for much at all, unless you count the advertising money (they''re usually browser-based these days).What did you have in mind? ;quote:Original post by SoulSkorpion  Diablo II is 2D. Check the sales figures for that.It''s also like 3 years old.  That wouldn''t give a fair assessment.;quote:Original post by raging_jakl   quote:Original post by SoulSkorpion    Diablo II is 2D.

It uses 3d acceleration for some things. ;quote:Original post by Captain Goatse  quote:Original post by SoulSkorpion   quote:Original post by raging_jaklquote:Original post by SoulSkorpion Diablo II is 2D.

Don''t forget last year they dropped the price to $19.99.  That helps a lot as well with sales, or at least number of sales.That is a fun game though just wish they would stop balance changing ;  i don''t like diablo
