This is how much moneys Japanese developers make

Here are some stats on Japanese game developer employment, as assembled in a report from Digital Content Association of Japan and passed along at Hachimaki.

• Average salary: ¥5,184,995
• Average age: 33.79 years
• Average numbers of years worked: 6.59 years
• Most common age group: 30s, at 52.8%

DCA also provided role specific salaries:

• Producer: ¥6,925,000
• Director: ¥5,636,279
• Sound: ¥5,590,625
• Network Engineer: ¥5,225,000
• Programmer: ¥4,641,390
• "Graphicer": ¥4,238,588
• Planner: ¥4,096,340

I'm not sure what a "graphicer" is exactly, but I'm going to guess it's a graphic artist.

This is the first time DCA has fully investigated game-related employment.
