We have a PC running inside the arcade with http server and https://joytokey.net/en/ - so it's super easy to run any html5 game (just need to map the joystick to keyboard and make the game be playable with the keyboard easily).

Well, you sell the licenses for as much as you can negotiate. Of course it's much easier to sell a licesne for a well polished game, but I saw some totally shitty games go for lots of money. And then I saw people who bought those shitty games making way more money, cause the games got viral/popular/featured. Try to sell your first game. Make some contacts. Learn what are they looking for. See how your game is performing. Optimise. Have some new ideas. Make another game. Try to sell that one as well. Repeat.

A really cool game - nice work:)

There was an event in London where Instant Game team talked a little about this. Basically - the most important metrics are: 1. Retention 2. Virality (number of players that sent the invites to others, number of shares, percentage of the accepted invites etc.) 3. Loading times and number of players that closed the game while it was loading There's an iniital boost when launching the game, but it's quite small and only serves the purpose of feeding the algorithm with enough data.

Honestly I have no idea what's the limit right now 😕

Hey:) Congrats on finishing the game! There are quite a lot of options for Html5 games - putting it on the store/website with ads (you can use your own website or upload to sites like kongregate.com). You can put it up on itch.io to show it to the world:) If you are interested in selling some licenses - there's a part of this forum called "Sponsor and Portals" where we discuss that in detail (you have to gather some "reputation" for this section of the forum to unlock). Good luck:)

Our last 28 days eCPM is $1.39

A new game jam game:) This was has been made in Phaser for Global Game Jam this January. It's called "Seba Krul Wienzienia" and it tells a story about a young criminal, who needs to gain power and influence by transmitting secret messeges while in jail.

This looks stunningly good:) Best of luck!
