![]() ![]() It cuts through the noise and gives you something to work with and compare.ĭeveloper Danny Weinbaum recently published a great blog on Gamasutra looking at different genres across Steam. When you look at the numbers, not the hype, you find amazing gems like these. They just like show up, get the job done, and move on. Some of them don’t even have the highest quality graphics. ![]() Look at these other no-publisher-having no-fanfare-garnering, no-indie-festival-winning games. There are so many other hidden gems like Dungreed. They didn’t have to split anything with Devolver. The other kicker is that the Dungreed guys didn’t even have a publisher. It has also out-performed such indie superstars as Downwell, Vlambeer’s Luftrausers, Desktop Dungeons, and Minit. (Nothing against the developers – I like that look – but it looks like every other pixel art game out there) But looking into the numbers on Steam it has made only about ~$5000 less than Sunless Skies! It looks like some dumb pixel art game that gets released every week on Steam and gets like 5 reviews. I am looking for little games that WAY over perform. One thing you will discover about the indie community is the big “thought leaders,” or the “darlings” aren’t necessarily the biggest sellers. The solid sellers aren’t always the games you think they are So I am looking at the sales numbers for all other 2D side scrollers. I have never been that big of a fan of the genre, – I liked Rogue Legacy but haven’t gone much deeper than that game. So for my next game I am considering going with a 2D, side-scrolling, Rogue-lite. I am about to ship some new holiday content for it but I am already in pre-production for my next game. My last game Return of the Zombie King was released just over 1 month ago. ![]()
