Years later warning:<\/strong> many external links are now dead. Sorry!<\/p>\n

Post-mortems are terribly, horribly interesting. I love seeing how Flash games died. Some developers are willing to describe all the gory financial details, writing up accounts so that we can all learn from their mistakes.<\/p>\n

I have written two post-mortems in the past, and now I have finally added them to this site (with some longer-term stats added to the bottom):<\/p>\n

The Man with the Invisible Trousers<\/a>
\nSlide Racing<\/a><\/p>\n

PS: I have a secret wish that people will read those and decide that I should be paid far, far more. 4 million plays per game is worth more!
\nPPS: For what it’s worth, Unevolve has 210,000 plays and earned $200 for 2 people, so that’s alright for a 2 day game.<\/p>\n

But I am not the most interesting developer, nor the richest, nor even the most bitter! I present to you, a list of every post-mortem I could dredge from the mirth of the internet.<\/p>\n

Concerned Joe<\/a>
\nCommunity College Sim<\/a>
\nGravinaytor<\/a> (Which I always read as Gravy-nator, and you should too.)
\n(I Fell In Love With) The Majesty of Colors<\/a>
\nMegaDrill<\/a>
\nThe Moops – Combos of Joy<\/a>
\nPixel Purge<\/a>
\nRobo Riot<\/a>
\nSolipskier<\/a>
\nSpeedRunner<\/a>
\nSteambirds<\/a>
\nTentacle Wars<\/a>
\nTumbleBall<\/a>
\nWhen I Was Young<\/a><\/p>\n

I will attempt to keep this list updated with all the post-mortems I can find. If you know of any I’ve missed, comment or shoot me an email with the address at the bottom of the page.<\/p>\n

For what it’s worth, this week I also added three more short stories<\/a>, if anyone still does fiction!<\/p>\n

Until next time… *Batman swoosh*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
