I think he must be based on Beckham?

I am not much into visual arts (so maybe I don't know what I am talking about), but AoD portraits are probably my favorite ones in any RPG ever.

So now that summer sale is over at GOG, was -50% worth it Vault Dweller? Currently AoD is on 48th place on GOG which doesn't tell me much.
I can't really comment on GoG sales as I have a feeling GoG has a stricter policy. In general, we have to offer the same discount on both platforms. We couldn't run a 25% off on GoG and then run 50% on Steam a couple of weeks later.

45,168 copies, gross revenues $1,030,347, avg $22.81 per copy, wishlist 130,513

congratz VD you achieved your goal of 45k coppies. With AoD and next games you will create nice steady portfolio stream of money that will save us plebians from shitty rpg future.

I'll take it as a "no, it was not worth it" then. Good to know you will be doing a 50% sale on Steam too though (although that was to be expected).

It's probably more than that but JudasIscariot is watching. They probably get less from every copy on GOG than on Steam too. I still prefer GOG over Steam though.

I will post the overall numbers after the Steam sale.

It's not really that black-n-white: worth it, not worth it. A good sale is always worth it. Roughly, we almost doubled our GoG sales (number of copies sold), but AoD isn't a top seller so it won't show up on top selling charts. In general, it's time to go to 50% off and there was absolutely no reason to exclude GoG and its playerbase.

It's probably more than that but JudasIscariot is watching.
The agreement states that we shouldn't share such info. While I don't think that GoG will terminate our relationship if we post our sales data, I don't want to test it for no reason either. I can post the overall sales that come from 4 sites as I don't think anyone would have a problem with it.

I don't look at it this way either. It's extra sales that we wouldn't have otherwise, extra audience, etc. The average price is fairly high though, $23.86 after the 50% off sale. Only 25 refunds in 8 months.

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
Well i convinced 2 buddies to buy AoD in this sale.
I hangs out most in gamefaqs, more people are starting to talk more about it, i mean aside from me, it used to be just 2-3 people talking and occasionally promoting it in recommendation topics, now i see more.

Hope it is a good sign

54,664 copies sold, $1,191,901.98 in revenues, $21.80 avg. price per copy.

The way things are going we might be able to hit 70-75k copies sold by the end of the year.

Hopefully, you deserve it. Probably the first RPG I felt truly engrossed in since Torment, though I haven't enjoyed the replays as much as I do some other things. Not sure why, just felt like once was enough. Still worth the price tag on one play-through, though.

How come? All the classes are different.

You've sold almost 10,000 copies since mid-May? I find that pretty impressive! :thumbsup:
