Adrian Gaudebert: How much did Dawnmaker really cost?
About a year ago, I wrote a piece explaining how much we estimated making Dawnmaker would cost. Well, Dawnmaker is finished, so as promised, I'm going to revisit that and show you how much it actually cost to produce our game! Yay, more money talk!
In June 2023, I made a budget for Dawnmaker that projected the game would cost a total of 520k€ to make. A year later, I can announce that the total budget is around 320k€. Why such a big difference? Because we never managed to secure funding, and thus had to cut a lot of what we wanted to do. We did not hire a team for the production of the game, did not even do the production of the game, did not pay ourselves, and reduced our spending to the minimum.
