The development of Tengami cost £ 55 thousand

It took £55,000 and 3.5 years of life to create one of the most visually interesting mobile games of last year, the adventure game Tengami,” said Jennifer Schneidereit, one of the creators of the game, as part of Develop: Brighton 2015.

The specified amount includes own investments in the company, the cost of development and living expenses of Jennifer herself,” Pocket Gamer writes.

As a separate expense column, the developer also allocated expenses for festivals, conferences, stands. In total, the company spent another £22,000 on such things.

“I think it was worth it. And I will continue to do it [spend money on promotion within the framework of events]. How else do you get this level of feedback,” Jennifer notes.

In total, Tengami has earned about $1.1 million to date. The net income of the project amounted to $650 thousand. 90% of the amount was provided by the iOS platform, where the game sold a digital circulation of 196 thousand copies. The game was also released on PC and Wii U, but on these sites the total purchases amounted to an insignificant 11 thousand.

Jennifer calls the Apple feature the main reason for such good results.

“I am sure that the promotion in the store was the main reason for our financial success,” she said in her speech at Develop: Brighton 2015.

Tengami is a paid application, its cost in the App Store is $4.99.
