Figured I'd post this in homebrew, too. Reposted from friendly banter:

Thread title is only a little misleading, as I don't actually need advice on how to design a game. I am a designer and I do need advice though.

My design partner and I recently sold a board game to a company that shall remain nameless. Now I need to figure out what I actually will ask for them for money. Obviously, I will be asking for royaltees, but I'm not sure how much to ask for. I heard somewhere that the going percentage for a game designer was 7%, but I can't remember where- or if that was even the right number.

For anyone on the forum that actually HAS designed a game that's been produced, please share your experience with me. I would be very grateful for any help given.
