Hey, /biz/, I'm a writer/technical writer/implementer for a large amateur video game project, and have been working on this for free for the past 2.5 years. Is there some way I could make money doing this?

Not unless the project becomes popular. Like any creative field, you need an impressive portfolio.

We're pretty adamant that we're releasing this game for free. It's an MMO, every time we hold an open server weekend we get several thousand players. We have a website, but we only use the advertising revenue to keep the servers running.

I know it's not an accurate measurement of popularity, but we have about 80,000 unique accounts registered on our website.

I mean if you're not going to attempt to monetize the game, than your options are limited.

You could put up a donate shop with some ingame rewards or have a youtube channel showing the game.

There are quests, characters, merchants, dungeons, enemies, indoor and outdoor areas, readable books, armor and clothing, towns, cities, villages, wilderness areas, and a couple supernatural places. There's going to be a main story, but we're mostly doing side quests right now.

We've had a constantly shifting team of about 100 people working on it for 4 years.
