Indie Game Net Revenue Planner
A SaaS tool that converts gross sales into realistic take-home income by modeling platform fees, taxes, deductions, team splits, and development timeline. It addresses the core problem that a good revenue month can look attractive while still being financially weak when spread across years.
これが重要な理由
You are trying to answer a brutally practical question: whether your game income is real enough to live on. The problem is that gross revenue snapshots hide everything that matters. Distribution fees, taxes, deductible expenses, long development timelines, and shared revenue all change the picture. A month that looks promising can turn into a weak average when you spread it across years of work. If you still have a day job or are deciding whether to leave one, that uncertainty is exhausting. You need a tool that shows your actual take-home outcome, not a vanity number, so you can decide whether your project is a business or a risky hobby.

エビデンスの概要
AIがこのインサイトをどのように統合したか — 逐語的な引用はありません
The discussion repeatedly centers on how reported sales look very different after fees, taxes, and multi-year development are considered. Mentions around low effective monthly income, survival before launch, and frustration with store commissions together form the strongest pattern. Several comments also compare gross snapshots with much weaker long-term averages, reinforcing demand for a net-income planning product.
