This is for Phil!!!

Hey everyone, I am starting to do more research on casual games. This is for everyone, though this part I have pulled from a website is more for Phil's business plan area.

"How much does it cost to develop a casual game? Budgets for casual games downloaded on the internet typically range from 100,000 - 500,000 USD. Casual games can be updated to include other distribution platforms. According to the CGA's 2007 Market Report updating an online casual game for: iPod, mobile & PDA versions cost 20,000 USD, hotel room versions cost 10,000 USD, XBLA versions cost 230,000 USD and handheld versions cost 300,000 USD".

This information came from here: Casual Game Association

I suggest reading the entire thing as this might help everyone with their part.
