We just broke 150,000 copies sold (including bundles and iOS) and >100,000 without bundles or iOS. So it took two years to get to 100k and two more to get 50k more, but the original 100k including 40k of bundles. The sales rate has actually been accelerating since year 2 -- basically we had a 70% drop from year one to year two, then a 36% increase from year two to three, and a 32% increase (or so, still waiting for last month, might be a little more) from year three to year four. I have to imagine that this will slow down eventually, though, but it's an ever-pleasant ever-surprising thing to tally up at year's end. (In terms of revenue to Wormwood, it's about even between year one and all other years combined.)

At some point we actually need to make a new game though. :D

This proves that word of mouth works for quality indie releases. Especially when your game was the best point and click adventure of the recent years.

:thumbsup:

I realize "cutesy plush characters" is about as un-Codexian as it gets, but I still wanted to post this awesome work by two Primordia fans.

/10.

Actually, they're great. I would buy either, or both. For my son, obviously. Yes, yes, obviously.

That weird feeling when Primordia is outselling TTON on GOG... :/

Obviously it's $2 apples to $50 oranges, but still not something I ever expected. Still, Oom patch should bring folks in.

Not even Thimbleweed Park has been able to do that. :/

EDIT: I spoke too soon. TP is now #1!

If that diagram is right, it suggests that WEG has the worst cross marketing of all time. :D (Which doesn't seem to be true...)

Purple reporting in. Technobabylon had a lot of bad criticism so I never gave it a try.

You shouldn't be upset, it means your sales have room to grow!

However, stats like these are entirely typical. You'll see the same for Kickstarted RPGs that one would naively assume are bought by all the same people, for instance.

That's Dave. It's always better to own the means of production. :)
