The Story of Game Dev
February 10, 2011
It’s the end of an era. Twenty years ago a small games company began generating high quality games on a budget. From these humble beginnings they grew into a large development company selling over 400 million games worldwide. This company has now closed netting $717,844,500 for the owners.
The best game created was a Life Dating series called Game #50. The first in this series sold over 16million copies, with the second (Game #502) becoming the best selling game in this companies career selling more than double this figure. The third game in this series, while less popular than the second, still sold a very respectable 24 million units. This series accounted for $208,599,300 of the total profits during the life of the company. It also netted 2 “best game” awards in the yearly gamedex awards.
The Bumflap console, launched by this company sold over 12 million units. These stats clearly mean that every console owner bought 3 copies each of Game #502.
This company was GayfishGames. A new company will soon rise from the ashes to try and beat those scores
