Cult Nation OUT NOW! 🎉

A short incremental game about sacrificing all your cult followers and collecting blood to awaken the devil

#indiegame #gamedev

[SMdG @smdgdev]

@2_left_thumbs @sofamiredev But doesn't this also mean if there is another game with let's say 6000 wishlists and is of the similar genre, then it will be less visible due to this game taking up the spot, unlike popular upcoming where both would have shown up?

[SMdG @smdgdev]

@BeanJuiceStudio Coming up with an idea that is not a roguelike deckbuilder or incremental

[SMdG @smdgdev]

@VlNDACAT Ignoring whether you had to use your brain or not, I just found it creepy, was wishing I watched this in a less packed theatre

[SMdG @smdgdev]

This movie felt like an adaptation of a very good indie horror game

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

‘OBSESSION’ has passed $100M worldwide.

Over 125X its production budget of $750K.

@shyabyssgames I just emailed youtubers and that got few of them to play and get me wishlists

[SMdG @smdgdev]

Always appreciate devs sharing stats regarding their game, its been a month since release of my first game, gonna do that myself : )

Happy with how my game did and wanna thank everyone who checked out my game 🎉

Gonna be a thread, feel free to ask me about anything 🧵

[SMdG @smdgdev]

@FrajdaGames Just emailing to youtubers for demo and full game, I sent about 250 emails

[SMdG @smdgdev]

@davidmcromp It is priced at $2.99, you can't calculate total revenue based on units sold since different countries have different pricing and also people who got the game through bundles will get little bit of a discount

[SMdG @smdgdev]

@KelvinAnim33908 I did localization for Chinese and Russian since after English those have the highest percentage of players. Decided to also do Japanese since Japan has very low percentage of people who can understand english

[SMdG @smdgdev]

@kaya_major9 Yes, I get 70% of net revenue

[SMdG @smdgdev]

@marevodev Thanks! my full name is basically 4 names, so the first letter of all of them woud be SMdG lol

[SMdG @smdgdev]

Crossed 100 reviews with very positive, letss gooo🎉

[SMdG @smdgdev]

Here is a graph of the daily revenue and units sold. The spikes you see are from youtubers playing it (IdleCub, DangerouslyFunny, couldn't find who is the third one)

[SMdG @smdgdev]

Had about 4,500 wishlists during launch

[SMdG @smdgdev]

This is the most annoying thing about this entire debate, that such games have existed for a long time now enjoyed by many and the only reason this is getting hate is cause it went mainstream

[Tony Coffey @The__Goomba]

This whole controversy is hilarious as a Visual Novel fan.

[SMdG @smdgdev]

@TonyMunozDev If your goal ain't to make high graphic games then there are no pros to using Unreal. You'll just be using something very heavy weight and with unnecessary complexity compared to Unity or Godot

[SMdG @smdgdev]

Imagine the reaction if mainstream gamers discover the existence of visual novels

[Jon Del Arroz | Pop Culture & Gaming 🎮 @jondelarroz]

I don't know who needs to hear this, but these aren't games; they're movies.

[SMdG @smdgdev]

weirdest review my game has got

[SMdG @smdgdev]

@Empyror Depends on how replayable your game is

[SMdG @smdgdev]

@Castitatis_ My expectations were higher before next fest, but after seeing the next fest performance my expectations had dipped. So it definitely did better than that. My minimum goal is 16k net within 2 months which I think is doable

[SMdG @smdgdev]
