Meerjel01 Posted May 17, 2024 Report Share Posted May 17, 2024 A few. When my game gets finished I would like to sell it like a traditional game to get money for my work. Can I sell it here then? Also if possible I would like to make a set of discs that can run on retail Xboxes. Meerjel01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRince404 Posted May 18, 2024 Report Share Posted May 18, 2024 I mean it would be easy for anyone to share the game with others once they purchase from you. Imo it would be better to just make the game a free download and have a donation option of any amount. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meerjel01 Posted May 18, 2024 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2024 How about I make special discs with physical bonuses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: You're not going to be able to make one work on retail Xbox's. You might as well just forget that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalpi Posted May 19, 2024 Report Share Posted May 19, 2024 >Making retail ready disks I don't think you know just how expensive pressed runs are, especially when it'll have to be a batch of at least a 1000, probably more. Which still ignores that the signed boot part of retail disks is likely still MS property. Not saying you can't, just that there's gonna be some serious hurdles.

Bowlsnapper Posted May 19, 2024 Report Share Posted May 19, 2024 I think you're wanting to go through the whole process of doing what a retail developer did to make a retail disc, probably because it's kinda' cool and not necessarily because it will make money. This going to be extremely difficult to do, as a practical matter. If following the process exactly, you will need to press discs that use the organic dye and I think those are not easy to find or to burn. There is also the fact that these discs are optimized, mainly using emulators, in order to organize the ISO image for the least amount of seeking possible. I know what you're trying to do, but I think that it is not practical to try to be a game studio this late in the console's life, especially since the software is going to be easily distributable to any person who acquires it. I would do as what's been suggested and release it either here or on a website of yours and maybe ask for a donation for your work and in recognition of your efforts. However, there is homebrew out there that is seriously impressive and it has always been free, so I think that making money off of it would prove to be either very difficult or impossible... unless you have a REEEEEALY good game here. @Meerjel01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meerjel01 Posted May 20, 2024 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2024 You're all probably right. A donation was in my mind as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
