RE: I'm Creating a Game App. Help!
I have nothing I can help you with except to give you a re-steem. Hopefully that helps!

Oh honey, that is extremely helpful!!! Thank you <3
Squiffy looks like a pretty cool bit of software. I've never heard of something like that. The website says it does all the HTML and scripting for you, so what else would you need? I suspect you need a place to store your files (a website)? I have no idea about the rest (like monetizing it and only allowing access to paid customers). I am very curious though and would like to learn more about it. I did create an e-book for a friend of mine, but that is a little different by the sound of it.
So I will be purchasing the rights for it to be in both iTunes and Google play. Amazon Fire also. So when someone purchases it from their phones store, I will get a portion of the fee I set. And the free version I will monetize with Ad Mob or another, and they will pay me each time a player views and/or clicks on the ad while playing my game...
Am I understanding this correctly?
In order to put these (let's call them) game books onto the 3 platforms you mentioned above, they need to be in a specified format for each platform as an AP (which requires someone to program them into an AP) that then draws the files from a server (host). Does that sound correct? Or are the files embedded into the AP itself and the entire package resides on the 3 platforms? Or perhaps you yourself don't know either and thus asking for help? Because then you may not even need Squiffy.
I'm thinking that if you use Squiffy you may not need to purchase any rights and just make them available on a normal website. Get a PayPal vendor account and get paid the entire amount rather than just a portion. I'm wondering if you can accomplish your goal with a WordPress website and a shopping cart add-on like Simple PayPal Shopping Cart? That would be really cheap since the only cost is a domain name and hosting. WordPress and its add-ons are free.
I do not know the answers to those questions.
As far as hosting the game in my own website, I will have a website with the links to the platforms, however it needs to be in the app stores so that players may download...
Even the top games like angry birds and solitaire are offered on all platforms.
There is the a way I could go super cheap and only offer it on a website, but I would have very little visibility - how are people going to find it? It's a $200 expense I realize, but it's necessary. Even if I wanted to go this route, it would be very time consuming and probably cost me more as I do not even know what you're referring to by AP, lol ;)
From what I've researched, there's a converter for $25 that works with Squiffy to enable it on iPhone and Android.
The converter sounds good. My son is making a video game and he has found that almost all conversions for different platforms are done by software anyway, so no need to have someone code it manually.
I'm sorry to confuse the issue. By AP I meant app. which I believe is simply an abbreviation for "application".
OH! Ok, lol, no worries hun!
