March Economic Update
Added 2025-03-10 15:05:41 +0000 UTCNever got around to posting the economic update for February, as I had to take a week of sick. So here comes a combined update for both February and March.
As for the monthly results, the game ended up with around 2k USD in the positive for January and 1k USD in the positive for February.
So after fighting all of last year to be in the positive, starting 2025 out in the positive is a great development, and a huge stress factor off my back.
The game is still roughly making around the same as it did last year, but now that I'm back solo, the saving from one less salary (even if it was only part-time), greatly reduces the expenses so helps make the game break even.
Now that the game is making money again, my first goal is to rebuild the game's monetary buffer so it's more safe against swings in the economic situation. Hopefully I'll be able to get it back up to around 15,000 USD where it was a couple of years ago, before it was completely decimated the last couple of years.
Once the buffer is back up, I'll look at bringing in more help with the game. Probably won't be an employment again before the monthly profits are higher and can support it. But I have been wanting to get a UI/UX expert to help with both the design for a mobile version and an overhaul of the game UI as well, so I will probably be looking in that direction once the buffer is back.
That's all for this time, happy to finally be able to share green numbers with you all again!
