I’m not going to quit my day job like the minecraft guy can, especially with just google adwords. It feels good to have built something that is playable and that I like to play, best of all I really enjoyed making the game. Astriarch isn’t really a game that is easily digestible or targeted at the mass-market or the widest audience possible, it was designed with the inspiration from some older games I loved to play like Stellar Conflict on the Amiga and Master of Orion II. I love playing the game, and if other people enjoy it too then that’s great, but I really don’t expect to make much money with it. Maybe now that I finally made the space strategy I always wanted to make for myself, I can move onto something more fun for more people and have a better chance of quitting that day job!","spam":"N"}],"epoch":1288908660,"likes":1,"metadata":{"p_key":"69057","p_author":"mpalmerlee","p_authorkey":"0","p_urlkey":"104860","p_title":"Made my first $1 in Ad Revenue Today!","p_cat":"October Challenge 2010","p_event":"LD18","p_time":"1288908660","p_likes":"1","p_comments":"3","p_status":"UPD5","us_key":null,"us_name":null,"us_username":null,"event_start":"1282262400","event_key":"4","event_name":"LD18"},"text":"
