That surely depends on how good the game is, how you propose to sell it and
finally countably many other factors, whose influence cannot be estimated
before afterwords.

I have but one question: Those money, how have you raised/do you intend to
raise them?

I know this is a joke, but I don't get it. What is the funny part? Has it
got something to do with a belief in, that Amiga Games are Pirated in stereo
and four colours, and that one therefore will make nil money?

Confusedly yours, Jakob Gaardsted.

PS:Release your game as public domain, but put lots of work into it anyway.
