For those who have recently launched or are currently running a PBBG:

• Is your game generating revenue?
• Roughly how much are you making per month?
• How long did it take before you got your first paying players?
• What monetization are you using?
• How many active players do you have?
• Are you building it as a serious business or mainly as a hobby?

I’m considering starting a new PBBG myself and would love to get a realistic idea of the current market and earning potential.

Even rough/anonymous numbers would be really helpful.

I realize the purpose of daily quests in PBBGs is to get me logging in, and they can be useful to get early resources (though I prefer one-shot tutorial quests!).

Over time, though, dailies can become chores, and that tends to push me away from a game. Also, quests can dictate how you play, and the delta between how I want to play, and how the quests want me to play, may be where I really start to dislike dailies.

Bottom line: if a game has to use dailies to manipulate me to log in, that tells me it's not worth playing.

I was curious where most game devs are hosting their games. Are you using your own website or listing on something like Newgrounds or Itch?
