Comment on Ask HN: What are app developers buisness models?

Comments

I've got a dev team of ten, working mostly on iOS and android game apps for hire. We've done 8 iOS/android games in the last couple years, some of them AAA, some not.

Paid ($1) games of a decent quality typically generate sales between 40 and 100 thousand; and can do much better if 'everything goes right'. Development costs are roughly the same. For apps, seems around 75% of cost is on the engineering side. Design is all from third parties here but included in the above figures.

Work is enjoyable.

Can you recommend any of the third party design firms that are good with game design ? I run a shop similar to what you do, but we are mainly focussed on building products for Startups and now venturing into Enterprises.
