Students learn how to use crowdfunding sites such as kickstarter.com and crowdfunding.com to raise capital for their Senior Project Original Game/App.

All funds are maintained by the students in their own online business accounts.  The school has no involvement in the raising, maintaining or spending of the funds that students generate.

STEAM is a great place to launch indie games.  Students get international exposure through the STEAM platform and generate downloads/sales from all around the world.

Students are not required to launch through STEAM, but most do.

Employers can see your game online and know you have what it takes to make money.

Itch.io offers a more affordable option to launching on STEAM.  While most students launch on both platforms, some use Itch.io to generate the funds needed to eventually join STEAM.

Itch.io is a FREE platform.  STEAM requires a $100 registration fee.

Both platforms take a percentage of your sales for their valuable service.

Student compile there games to play on both PC and Android.

Google Play offers the largest audience for your game/app.  It is also the most expensive to use.

Unlike the Apple Store, Google Play is easy to get a game/app for sale.  Apple Store is a very long and complicated keychain process that take longer than our class time to implement. Some groups will continue the process and get on the Apple Store after leaving Middleton.
