Is there a way to make money from indie downloadable games? It appears that there are ways to make money with flash games through portal and aggregator sites and embedded ads. But I do my programming in C and C . I've started a prototype which relies on a few existing C SDK's. The game would have to be downloadable. Is this just a labor of love, or are there any ways to make money from this type of game? Does anyone pay for shareware anymore? What other options are there?
