I figured I'd ask this question here in these forums because I've been coming here for a long time now. And this site gives me alot of inspiration to develope my own games.
I am a pc game programmer\graphic artist and I have spent quite a few years developing games, I have mainly been making games for friends and people over the internet for free, but I have found over the years I have spent quite a bit of money involving myself in these games I have created. This last game I have created I have spent a little over 1 year developing, Everyone loves it and they are telling me that I should not give this game away as freeware, (not to brag on myself) but I have also been told that this last game is alot better than most Rpg\'s that are coming out now a days. I wanted to know what steps do I need to take to getting my game sold? I have already packaged it up its on a autorun cd and everything, I have also done all the cd covers front back inlay even the manual, all of this is professionaly done and ready to be sold, I just want to try and make some extra income to provide for my hosting and server space if you know what I mean. If you have read this far then I will tell you about the game it is a true rpg, what I mean by true Rpg is you are free to do what you want kinda like morrowind (openended) far from the graphics though [img]smile.gif[/img] the Rpg is called Destinies Reign and it is very huge the game world consists of 22 cities, 8 villages, 30 camps, and about 80 dungeons, It is in the Style of Wizardry Gold crusaders of the dark savant, but with much better graphics, there are roughly 400 differant creatures, tons of npc's to interact with ( I know it sounds like im trying to sell you my game hehe) I'm just giving you an idea of what its about. Here are a few screenshots of the game: Screenshot 1 - Screenshot 2
Here is also one of my websites of another game I just finished, mabey this one would sell too, I do know It has sold on ebay about 50 times heheh Finest Hour

I really have no clue at all on what steps to take to getting my game sold, and its sad cause everyone tells me how much talant I posess, As I said before quite a few people have said to me that these games should be at the store on the shelves.

Best Wishes
