"Touch To Start" is my official blog. It's heavily based on my experiences with GameMaker and earning money online.

About

I plan to share my knowledge, observations, and experiences as an independent game developer, while hopefully providing some insight and inspiration to other developers.

Mostly, my posts will revolve around these topics:

• Game design
• Mobile development (iOS, Android, HTML5)
• Creating an online income
• Marketing and advertising

I will try to keep content focused, though this will also be a personal blog – it is a test of my own writing skills and a side-project that I’ve wanted to try for a long time. I’m new to blogging, but I will try to make interesting posts as often as possible.

Good luck with this blog, but I'm don't love this design.

[Terrified Virus]

Love the blog, and the design. I learned a lot from your posts True Valhalla, keep it up!

I encourage all "wishful people" to read this.
There are multiple people around monetizing their GameMaker use, but no one writes it down. Except for TV here. And what a fine job he's doing!

It's really not as hard to earn back your GM:Studio costs as you think

Thanks for the comments everyone

That post was interesting, I laughed at the $12 part.

Good luck with this game.

LOL I had the same reaction, "Holy S*** You Made Over $5000 with GameMaker This Month"

[True Valhalla]

Since the month hasn't ended I had to update it to $6000

[Jobo]

That must be difficult for you
When is that eBook set to come out?

The infographic was interesting, I had no idea that much money was made in the mobile game industry.

P.S.
