He could yet get another bump in sales from a 1.0 release, but you're right the stars are just not aligned to make Yerba Mate Tycoon an indie smash. This was not necessarily a story of loss though. Taking a project all the way to release is a feat, and his attitude toward finishing the game, not to mention supporting it after release is commendable. All this seems like it helps position the developer to solicit publishers for future projects, convince others to work with him, and even help sway potential buyers of future projects. Not to mention it's a critical learning experience, feedback like yours is very helpful. All things considered pretty successful for a first game. This dude definitely has the potential to turn a profit in the future.
- tekromancr 5y agoTenth game, according to the post
- cmeacham98 5y agoI believe it is his 10th _attempt_ at a game but 1st finished/published game. The author at least has no other games published on steam.
- boomboomsubban 5y agoThe other games seem to be mobile.
- fouc 5y ago1st published on steam. He published the other ones on google play it seems.
- donislawdev 5y agoFirst Steam game, others were mobile + Web Games. I got even post about my other game stats: https://donislawdev.com/earnings-and-statistics-from-my-8-games-android-ios-webgl/ https://donislawdev.com/earnings-and-statistics-from-my-8-ga... All released.
- user5994461 5y agoThat Fish Eat Fishes is neat. It's simple to play. It's very visually distinctive. Caught me off guard. It's maybe too trivial for steam but there's certainly potential to make a game out of it. Add a timer. Add some multiplayer challenge. Add a power or two (dash forward). Make some levels to swim through in increasing difficulty and that's a definitive puzzle/platform game.
