Games for Iphone
by Alex Ciuba · in Torque Game Builder · 03/30/2009 (12:29 pm) · 7 replies
I am thinking of making a website that hosts mini games like miniclip.com and I am eventually thinking off buying a license from torque to put them on the Iphone. I was just wondering how I would go about selling the games, I don't know that much about Iphones, can I sell the games directly from my site? Could someone please tell me how I would go about distributing Iphone games.

Edit: nvm I think I found the answer, apple has some special developer program that you have to pay 100$ to join and they take 30% of all revenue.

Sorry maybe this is a stupid question but how would you do that, is it like Xbox where you can just sell it without any special license or do you have to have an agreement with apple?

@Alex: Although you can't sell iPhone games directly from your site, you CAN sell the PC/Mac versions of your game on your site. And since, using TGB and iTGB, you would be building it on a PC/Mac first, this would be fairly simple to do.

Yes, I understand that's why I am thinking about buying TGB and eventually iTGB. I am thinking of purchasing the TGB version without the source. One question I have is if I would be able to upgrade to the version with the source and only pay the difference instead of the full price.

Yes, upgrades only pay the difference.
