I used haxe for all my games(e.g. http://cardinalquest.com/) for over a year now & it's working quite well.

There are some annoying differences between the different targets but it's >99% the same and you can work around the differences.



Cardinal Quest looks very cool. Could you share some light from business perspective. Profits?

Thanks.


Revenue is mid 5 figure so far from desktop and flash versions, the ios & android version were just released but I'm hoping to break into 6 figures altogether across the game's total lifespan.


Did you use Haxe for the iOS and Android versions as well? It wasn't quite there yet when I checked it out a couple of years ago.


Yep, all from the same code base.


Thanks, I'll go and play with Haxe again then!


May I ask you regarding the percentages you get from the desktop Linux vs Win vs MacOSX sales?


I don't collect these stats, although probably should. From web visitors it's 70% win, 20% mac, 10% linux.
