[casual_games] Subscription numbers

[Audry Taylor]

What's the best site to go to for information about the current estimated value of the casual industry, as well as for how subscription models are doing versus per game sales?

Thanks Aaron and Miguel – InnoSetup looks perfect for the
Windows side of things. Now to find a Mac installer!! As far as I can see,
InnoSetup does not offer a mac installer – is that correct?

I've used InnoSetup many times. 



 





http://www.innosetup.com/isinfo.php





 





It is free, small, and very configurable (via
scripts). 





 





There is a tool that provides a user interface for creating
the scripts that I highly recommend: http://www.istool.org/





 





We used Innosetup/ISTool for our Crunch Time installers on
PC/Mac and haven't had any problems.

Hi Paul,



On the Windows side Inno is good, free to use even for commercial projects. http://www.jrsoftware.org/isdl.php

I have created a series of 4
flash games that are to be distributed as executables via the web and I need
advice on how to create installers for these games for both PC and Mac.

 

The client has requested these
games are each distributed as installer files that will allow the user to
choose where on their machine the game is installed and add the relevant
program group and uninstall option.

 

The games are all single files
with all assets embedded into the flash movies. It has been many years since I
have created installers and I think back in the days I used Wise for the Mac
and Install Shield for the PC.

 

I would therefore like advice
on a free or relatively cheap installer for each platform. The PC one needs to
be Vista compatible.

 

I also have a related question
as to what format of file is acceptable for downloading. On the PC side, I
assume the installer would create an executable file but I was under the
impression people do not like downloading exe files? I would therefore
appreciate advice on what format others offer their downloadable games in (for
both PC and Mac)

 

Thanks in advance

 

Paul
