Ah cool, I'll get it for a month to play through it then!Good news is it's just something everyone with Apple Arcade gets for free, so he gets paid regardless. Dunno how much. I had been meaning to cancel Apple Arcade, but alas. Don't think there's any other way to play Apple Arcade games.
I was just looking into this but can't find a definitive money value (not that I expected too, as they will all be different depending on the game). I did however find an older article which in short says that apple had $500 Million to spend on getting exclusives to the platform lol. This was a few years back, but I'm sure that Yu will be making a decent amount from this which is awesome.I wonder if this game was developed in parallel with another project or number of Ysnet staff involved?
In addition does anyone know how much developers typically get for putting content on Apple Arcade?
There's also a verge article to back this up slightly:-Each game received upfront funding in the $0.5-5 million range. Apple Arcade exclusives were paid more obviously.
There’s also an ongoing payment structure but I don’t think it’s based on usage like hours played, maybe ongoing downloads or number of active installs.
Sounds like the Developers are not paid based on screen time. I suspect they are more like salaried employees at this point. Apple bankrolls their games and pays them a monthly fee to maintain it.
It's difficult to find actual numbers because you sign an NDA as part of the Apple Arcade paperwork. But from being in the dev community, the general murmurings is that it is a revenue share based upon percentage of user engagement for your particular game during the month. Also, it's understood that you need to support all of the Apple OS (including Apple TV and Mac OS) and provide updates for a significant period, which was 2 years last time I heard.I wonder if this game was developed in parallel with another project or number of Ysnet staff involved?

Doesn't necessarily mean they're using a different engine, Unreal Engine supports iPhone.I am curious what engine this game runs on, obvious lower specs to run on phones. Curious if this is prosperity engine or some middleware?

It's still UE, or that's my guess anyway. The skies and clouds look very characteristic of the sky atmosphere system.I am curious what engine this game runs on, obvious lower specs to run on phones. Curious if this is prosperity engine or some middleware?
