I don't know about Steam or Gameolith.

But payment processors like BMT Micro will pay you monthly. I think the minimum balance for BMT Micro is only $20, and I never have any trouble reaching that with my direct sales.

Yeah, I believe you. I think I see now why indie Puppy Games ditched Desura - that's the only way you can get paid if you're below the minimum balance.

I did when it first got onto Desura, and a few did, but I'll have to make another plea I guess.

I was thinking if I can get Dirk 1 on there, maybe I could run a sale on it and use Dirk 1 to help drive sales of Dirk 2. That's one of the reasons I've spent the past few months upgrading the first game - so I can use it to drive sales of the sequel (not just on Desura but also other channels).

That's the issue for me, and why I would submit it - I need to get up to that minimum balance before they'll pay me. The issue for them is, looking at the sales for Dirk 2 and Rick Rocket, whether they decide it's worth THEIR time.

I really thought Dirk 2 would do better on Desura than it has, especially with the game's stealth elements and fairly decent production quality (at least compared to some other popular platformers on there that have dozens of pages of reviews). Most of the few reviews/ratings I've received are fairly positive. I don't know if it's the cartoon-style graphics, or the price, or what that has kept it from being more popular... wish I knew...

For me, not much work at all. Just a few hours to set up the page, build the MCF files, and upload everything. Not sure how much work is on their side to review/validate everything and plug it into the system.

I plan to submit it some time in the next week or two, but we'll have to see if they accept it. For whatever reason, Dirk Dashing 2 hasn't generated many sales on Desura.

Thanks again to everyone who has been purchasing! Yesterday, I broke my all-time record for the most sales in 1 day, and I'm already half-way to that mark today (and it's only 10:30 AM here on the west coast of the USA).

Over 50% of my sales yesterday and today have been for the Linux version. So far, I've only posted the news here on GOL, and updated the game's LGDB listing. So I'm pretty sure my surge in sales has had a lot to do with you folks here. So thank you!

Thank you, kindly! I appreciate the privilege of posting my news!

And thanks to everyone who has been purchasing. I just shared with Liam on Twitter that so far 2/3 of my Dirk Dashing Special Edition sales are for the Linux version, and my total sales today have already exceeded what I earned in the entire month of January! Much appreciated!
