How much money does the game have to make before we start to mak

Just another question. I know that GarageGames will take a certain amount of the first sales to cover their cost but I would like to know how much that is and just to make sure thats covered in the contract ...

I don't think Garage Games takes their money first, for ESD or retail. From what the FAQ says, it is more like Garage Games is part of your team. They get money when you do, the percent being either 50% for ESD or 20% for retail.

Now for retail, Sierra/Havas might do something like that... i.e. they collect what would normally be your royalty until the royalty total reaches XXXX dollars, and only then do you make your YY% of which GG takes 20%. How much is a good question.

Keep in mind that "XXXX" and "YY%" are numbers that GG can't even begin to guess at. It all depends on you actually getting a game into retail, and what sort of deal you get with a publisher.
