Edge speaks to the company founder who traded high-profile studio salaries for indie development.
Over half a year has passed since Radiangames released its first title, JoyJoy, on Xbox Live Indie Games (XBLIG), and founder Luke Schneider hasn’t yet turned a profit. But he’s really rather upbeat about it.
“In September, I almost made money,” he says brightly. “October, I was a little further off, but not too far off. November will probably be about the same – and [in] December I think I’ll make money, but I’m not sure.”
With Inferno 2 ending up an expensive loss, what’s next? Well, it’s back to mobile for a while, because coverage was good and Apple gave the games nice exposure.
No that's not a typo.
In a blog post Radiangames explained that after failing to meet its September target for releasing Inferno 2, "we could always just consider October 2 to be September 32 and still call it a win." Whilst adding the developer's caveat of 'no guarantee' for meeting the October 2 date, it looks pretty likely we'll have our hands on the sequel around then.
Haha glad to see these guys have a bit of a sense of humour. September 32 is like tomorrow right? Sweet! Will have to check this one out.
