    Congrats! Did you use some promotion for LaVille? And if you did, can I ask what promotion did you use?

    @1upGamestudio
    Grazie mille!!
    @FMG
    Thank you very much Joe, to receive compliments from you is an honor. We played The Lost City and is awesome, you really deserve all the success you had!
    @imGua
    Thanks! No promotion! We just give away some promocodes to friends :)

    how much is that making you daily

    And you are telling this to your potential competitors because? Sorry mate but you are making yourself lower sales in the future :P
    Sure, say this to potential customers, but not to the potential competitors.

    And BTW, congrats!

    The fact, that my favorite GS games did not use marketing, and end up as successful games is very inspiring :)

    May i ask about the sales?

    @MjMDesign & @Prodigio
    Our downloads are increasing very quickly! From 400 to 1.000, from 1.000 to 2.000 in the last 3 days and we can't see the downloads of yesterday yet.

    @TheMoonwalls
    We're sharing our results here in the forum. We don't see the community as competitors :S
    We all share the love in making games and as we share the passion, we share the results. Supporting each other is much more productive ;)
    BTW thanks for the congrats.

    @imGua
    We're very pleased to hear that!

    Very nice job! This was made with game salad, yes?

    How long did it take you?
  • HoneyTribeStudiosHoneyTribeStudios Member Posts: 1,792
    Great news. Yep, I can see you're at 10 in overall paid apps in the UK now. You must be in a great mood these last couple days :)

    I'll leave a review for the ipad version later today. (You have some feedback from the UK iphone reviews which should be useful for your next updates)

    @ozboybrian I'm not afraid of it - there are many adventure games made with GameSalad, that didn't make any big money. Also this type of games is hard to do - it requires a lot of time, and patience.
    Joe (FMG) worked about one year on his Lost City. Jon (Stormystudio) still works on his adventure game (it's more than one year now). I worked 8 months on my game (10-15 hours a day).
    It's hard to make an adventure game, it's harder to make a good adventure game, it's super hard, to earn money from it.

    There are few exception (like Grisly Manor, Lost City, or LaVille - and LaVille is a success now, and it was released more than 6 months ago - in my opinion, it is popular thanks to FMG's success), but on each success there are many failures.

    @Braydon_SFX
    Thank you very much and yes, it was made with GS ;)
    we made it in 8 months but we didn't work on it everyday.

    @HoneyTribeStudios
    Yes, we are in a super-positive mood :) Thank you for the review you'll leave! We will certainly consider the UK feedback for the next update!

    @thegabba
    Can I ask one thing? I noticed that you always say "we" or "us". How many people work in your studio?
  • thegabbathegabba Member Posts: 152
    @TheMoonwalls
    Sure! 2 people, me and my girlfriend :)
  • IsabelleKIsabelleK Member, Sous Chef Posts: 2,807
    That's cool that you can share your passion and work, with someone close to you :)
  • thegabbathegabba Member Posts: 152
    Yes, it is awesome!

    Brilliant stuff ! Well done !!! :D

    Thank you very much guys!
  • IsabelleKIsabelleK Member, Sous Chef Posts: 2,807
    @LeonardDeveloper yep, all thanks to FMG! But this is an economic bubble - it will blow up sooner or later (I predict 3 months max), and then only FMG's games will be selling as good as now. Normal, economic thing.
