Re: [Audyssey] X-Sight news
This is wrong and for the correct info go here, and it will answer all your questions. http://socialsecurity.gov/ There are many factors that determine what you get and how you get it. The major thing i saw about SDI. Was that anyone can receive as long as they are permanently disabled.

[Audyssey] X-Sight news
Hi list, We have some bad news. Due to some information I received concerning X-Sight Interactive during a meeting with a college financial and business advisor, X-Sight may need to close, at least temporarily, until we can create more software that can be sold to make enough money to keep it running. Currently, I am spending more money than I am earning, and certainly I am earning a lot less than my current disability benefits offer me. The laws of my country state that if I am getting an income, I am no longer entitled to my benefits and I will indeed have to start paying taxes. Additionally, if I am self-employed, which is basically what I am, I would have to register as an official business which would cost more money to open up additional accounts and make it legal. As I am currently receiving more in benefits than I am in sales, if the sales amount continues to be less than half of a month's benefits, I may be forced to close X-Sight, as I am the manager and the rest of my team seem to count on me to provide all resources. Already recently I have basically spent over five month's benefits on X-Sight. As you can see, if this continues, I am going to end up in a lot of debt and, indeed, no money to survive personally. I am still open to suggestions for the time being, even if the majority's decision means just me developing freeware with minimum purchases on my part, then that's what I'll do, but that also means less advanced features in my software. Thanks.

Re: [Audyssey] X-Sight news
Hi damien. You can actually urn up to about £80 each week, or do 16 hours work (whichever is less), and stil get bennifits. while I'd imagine you've sold a number of coppies of acefire, averaged out over one year will you sell 8 coppies at £10 a week? This is the method i will be using with the department to make certain I get some teaching experience wile doing my Phd, because I need the experience, but the department can't offer me enough work to compensate me coming off bennifit at the moment. also, remember that by developing and selling more complex programs, you will put yourself in a better position to make more cash, and thus stop receiving bennifit later on, which again is the arguement I've used to write my Phd and stil recieve bennifits, sinse this blasted country is incredibly mean to studentss. Hth, and good luck, these things can be hell. Personally I'd like to see what else you can come up with in the software line. Beware the Grue!

Not SSI. For every two dollars you make they cut one dollar off your SSI. Which is probably another good reason for me not to start developing games at the moment. I have no other income either.

I am still open to suggestions for the time being, even if the majority's decision means just me developing freeware with minimum purchases on my part, then that's what I'll do, but that also means less advanced features in my software.

Re: [Audyssey] X-Sight news
Hello Damien, Quote Due to some information I received concerning X-Sight Interactive during a meeting with a college financial and business advisor, X-Sight may need to close, at least temporarily, until we can create more software that can be sold to make enough money... End quote Well, first thing you really need to understand is there really is not a lot of money to be made from selling accessible games. Some games sell well because they are really good, in high demand, and some games don't sell many copies at all. If you are trying to make a living off of making accessible games it is not going to happen with the small market we have. If you want to make a little extra money for a project then it is possible, but keep in mind the government is going to make sure to take it's cut, and you will be left with the remainder of what they didn't take. So always see the money from making games as extra cash not a living. Quote Currently, I am spending more money than I am earning, and certainly I am earning a lot less than my current disability benefits offer me. End quote That is an unacceptable situation in my opinion. If you are getting behind, making less than you could be making, then you need to stop and reexamine the situation, and find a way to balance your budget. If you are spending more to make games then you are earning then you need to stop spending until you have the cash to buy new sounds, music, etc for your games. The main priorities in your life should be your living expenses and college expenses. Anything left over can be spend on making games for sell or for free. However, living expenses and college expenses must come first. Quote The laws of my country state that if I am getting an income, I am no longer entitled to my benefits and I will indeed have to start paying taxes. Additionally, if I am self-employed, which is basically what I am, I would have to register as an official business which would cost more money to open up additional accounts and make it legal. End quote Unfortunately, this is all too true. Any small or large company should become incorperated, and have themselves recognized legally with the IRS as a tax entity. Depending on what type of incorperation you choose determines how your company is taxed, and how you will be taxed. The minute you begin taking in income for X-Sight SSI will take away a dollar for every two dollars you earn. Unfortunately, as I have found out your incomes will fluctuate when you are self-employed and it is a huge roller coaster with the SSI office which wants to be informed everytime your income changes. Well, it is changing daily. In December you might make $1200 but in January $100. Social security will try and balance it out, but sometimes you might end up owing SSI money do to some over payment or they will under pay you because your income is so unstable. The Social Security office is very anal when it comes to figuring out what they owe you, and unless you are good with keeping financial records it is a good idea to watchout because Social Security is not aposed to putting the screws to you if they believe you have made more than you actually did. Quote I am still open to suggestions for the time being, even if the majority's decision means just me developing freeware with minimum purchases on my part, then that's what I'll do, but that also means less advanced features in my software. End quote Honestly designing freeware games for now is your best option. Unless you have some sort of stable income where you can live independant from SSI it is not worth it to sell games and live on SSI at the same time unless your games are making enough to make the hastle worth while. One final note I think you are pretty disappointed that Acefire didn't do as well as you thought it might have. Part of it is the size of the community, and part might be the game hasn't lived up to gamers expectations. Even mainstream companies have problems of spending a lot of money getting a game to market and having it flop. For example, a few years ago Micro Pros released the latest Top Gun game, Top Gun Hornet's Nest, with high expectations. After it was released the game was a major flop. Despite putting loads of money into the project, having the Top Gun name, getting acters for the parts, etc the game flopped. There are several reasons from technical issues to poor graphics that led to the games demise, but it wasn't the first or last game to flop financially. What I am trying to say is that some games seam to do well like, Tank Commander, because there are a lot of blind gamers interested in that type of game. Something like Acefire might not be as well liked, and thus doesn't earn the same kind of money as a competing product. If you really want to make money then you really have to try and design a competing product that might sell well, but you won't know how well it does until you

Its like those streets of rage games- so, I'd be more than willing to pay for that, and anyone who isn't- well, I guess that's not there cup of tea, which would suck.

I proposed a game to Dameon that he might want to look into making yet, not sure if it can be done in VB 6.0 Kuvvosh -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thomas Ward Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2008 2:16 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] X-Sight news Hello Damien, Quote Due to some information I received concerning X-Sight Interactive during a meeting with a college financial and business advisor, X-Sight may need to close, at least temporarily, until we can create more software that can be sold to make enough money... End quote Well, first thing you really need to understand is there really is not a lot of money to be made from selling accessible games. Some games sell well because they are really good, in high demand, and some games don't sell many copies at all. If you are trying to make a living off of making accessible games it is not going to happen with the small market we have. If you want to make a little extra money for a project then it is possible, but keep in mind the government is going to make sure to take it's cut, and you will be left with the remainder of what they didn't take. So always see the money from making games as extra cash not a living. Quote Currently, I am spending more money than I am earning, and certainly I am earning a lot less than my current disability benefits offer me. End quote That is an unacceptable situation in my opinion. If you are getting behind, making less than you could be making, then you need to stop and reexamine the situation, and find a way to balance your budget. If you are spending more to make games then you are earning then you need to stop spending until you have the cash to buy new sounds, music, etc for your games. The main priorities in your life should be your living expenses and college expenses. Anything left over can be spend on making games for sell or for free. However, living expenses and college expenses must come first. Quote The laws of my country state that if I am getting an income, I am no longer entitled to my benefits and I will indeed have to start paying taxes. Additionally, if I am self-employed, which is basically what I am, I would have to register as an official business which would cost more money to open up

Hi Claudio, SSDI is similar to SSI except that a person with a physical handicap must have worked 5 years in the USA to qualify for it. It has slightly different payment rules and regulations than SSI. Claudio wrote: Hello! What is SSDI?

Re: [Audyssey] X-Sight news
yes, unfortunately school and uni definitely come first. I can't learn something and leave it for a bit, because then I just forget it, like I tried to start learning how to script jaws, but because of other things I just couldn't do much at a time yet, so I've sort of forgotten what I've started doing.

Re: [Audyssey] X-Sight news
Well Thomas or Any developer. Why not make a Wizardry type game? The games is all text based up until version 8 which I have is 3D. But the others are all 2d or maze type style.
