We mentioned Aztaka a couple of times over the last year or so, although a side-scrolling action/RPG probably doesn't connect with our core audience. Still, I thought it might be worth a quick mention of their "Developer's Edition" sale as they try to recoup the $235k they borrowed from friends and family to make the game:
More information.Four years ago Citérémis rented a small office above two bars. The idea was simple: craft a 2D side-scrolling game for the people who loved the old-school genre. The budget: $235,000, borrowed from friends and family who trusted us.
Since its release in May 2009, Aztaka has received positive reviews by many websites, and has achieved total revenue of about $35,000. To bridge the gap: Aztaka Developer's Edition, that will only be available January 7th 9:00 until 11:59 PM on January 31st.
The quest for profitability begins today with two main objectives:
1- to generate enough sales from this edition to let us keep doing what we love and to reimburse our friends and family.
2 -to bring together indie developers.
