Simple and common for game jams: everyone who shipped gets the same share. It works when the team is small and everyone put in similar hours — and gets contentious fast when they didn't.
Each teammate's share is proportional to the work they contributed — tracked as points, hours, or completed tasks. This is the model most rev-share teams settle on because it stays fair when one person does the bulk of the work.
Fixed percentages negotiated up front — e.g. 40% code, 35% art, 25% audio. Predictable, but set it in writing before launch: verbal agreements are where indie teams fall apart.
Your team splits net revenue, not the sticker price. Steam takes 30% (dropping at higher revenue tiers), Epic Games Store takes 12%, and itch.io lets you choose (10% by default).
