Can't seem to make money

[DrunkieBrewster]

I have outstanding software at 100% interest level, but can't seem to get any profit out of it? Its the beginning of the game and have gone with operating systems with over 1 million users. Whats going on?

Its luck and the market...
You can make a mediocre Anti Virus and it will still make a bigger profit than a Outstanding OS

If your struggling to get a well made,well-known product, i sugest buying a well established IP From a Big studio On the cheap and expanding on that

If you have an oustanding product with 100% interest, then just market the heck out of it and keep marketing it until you start losing money on it. If you still don't make any money on it, then it could just be bad luck, or you may have taken so long on it that it became obsolete (think of it as releasing Windows XP in 2016).

I can't really give you any more advice unless you give more information on your problem.

1. Quality of Product 100%
2. U need 100% Interest
3. And most important - U need set price. Price is most important parameter in game.

No mater do 2D to millions or game, or antivirus. Main and important thing -is price. Want do millions at one or 2 years? - Ok this is main hint. Make product with price 1$ and 100% interest. - see and wait sells. You conquest this sector (smile in right-up screen in this sector - will be green). Make this product again with normal price - U are millionaire.

Why 2D is using for do millionair? - Answer - is price of product. When u start play - ur 2D have more low price than AI =)

I do have 100% interest on the ones i've tried and do full marketing. I think i may be over charging if AsUIs post is correct

How long is it taking you to finish the software and what quality is it when you're done? Have you checked if anyone else has recently released software of the same type that may be interfering with your sales?

263h in game. I know this game very well. Just put sell price to 1 with high quality and interest and conquest market with this type of program. After this u can sell this type program for normal price.
With this method u can sell ur second OS over then 50 millions user =)

[DrunkieBrewster]

ahh yeah ill have to check that out lol

[DrunkieBrewster]

So i get to around 2000 but it always says if i check innovation options that its like gonna take 5 years todevelop software even with a minimal team of so many developers. At the end its more of a time grind and hard to do anything even with teams :(

Are you trying to do an operating system? If so, be prepared for the long haul, because making a good one can take several years. If you're impatient (like I am) then just focus on other software types instead, until you have a big enough company where you can afford to have 20-30 guys spend the next few years twiddling their thumbs with an OS (while the rest of your company does something meaningful).

But seriously though, if you are trying to do an OS, don't. Focus on smaller things like 2D Editors and Audio Tools for now, those usually only take a year at most.
