"Have you tried putting it back in?" - Tech Support

I worked on an early prototype of the iOS version. The original intent was to include lots of historical trivia, etc, however research showed that the prospective audience were the older fans rather than children. Plus we were making it for a global audience, who don't necessarily care about US history or geography.

It was really envisioned as a revival of the classic game with upgraded graphics and more "activities". I don't think the final game had any Americans working on it, so they simply chose to make a basic resource management sim that served as a platform for arcade mini-games.

Several months were spent by an American team mapping out a historically accurate journey for the game with encounters along the way during pre-production, so I know at least someone tried.

Are they paying you for all this? If so, is it a one-time fee or a regular paycheck? Or is it a different financial agreement of some sort?

You don't have to give actual dollar amounts, but I'd at least be interested in knowing if the money you earned through this is enough to live on.

I feel like the movies got progressively worse for fans of the books, and progressively better for people who didn't read the books.
