However, extrapolation is rather good.
Game was just released in Germany, and it is still less than month from UK release.
In any case - developer is last limk in a royalties chain, so publisher will definetly get money he invested with a reasonable (100-200%) margin.
Game business is risky one, so marging should be bigger than that to allow developer to get his royalty - but it is already OK for us to make sure someone (this publisher or other) would like to publish our game.

And there is PSN/XBL in the end.

well thats not what i ment but oh well
i mean is a sequel dependant on sales of bop and if so whats the forcast for the sequel. btw its good that you still post here

Of course, it depends on sales.
But first month sales are already ok, I guess - at least for us, developers.

So publisher pays you before game is even released correct?

Anton,

I read an article where this game was trying to sell itself as the "call of duty of the skies", Personally, I hope for the experience of flight sim not to become that, however, for the sake of developers and a promise of future sequels I do wish this game good luck and success. Another thing, no money for advertisement? I feel this game is selling by the good reputation it gathered on the PC, that is why I bought it, and by a few curious others. Anyhow, I love the experience that im getting from this title. Thank you.

What do you mean? Publisher funded development of the game (Birds of Prey).
Of course, "fund' means paying before the game releases.

Nobody is funding sequel now - but we already have started some development, because sales are ok. Of course, if noone will sign for it later - sequel won't be released.

Anton, this game NEEDS some form of advertising to build sales, there is nothing letting prospective players from even knowing this game is around.

Dashboard videos on XBox live are all ages old, there is little if any posters or displays for game stores and i have never seen a tv advert.

The game is great and we need to let others who dont use this forum or who dont have a friend playing the game know that the game is out there.

The publishers must know that if they did this it would drive sales and therefore increase their profit.

I can't see the game here at all, I'm still hunting high and low to find it.I still can't believe they would rather stock heroes over europe than birds of prey.

This is bad news - I'm not going to hold my breath for the sequel until a publisher puts out some info about it.
