So hang on

What exactly is even available on PS5 at launch? Didn’t every game just say “Holiday” or 2021?
That was a super impressive array of games, but it didn’t seem that there’s actually anything next-gen available on launch day at all??
Was that PlayStation Plus “play a bunch of PS4 games for free” thing because there’s not actually any PS5 games to play on launch day?
Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems like in the rush to get their consoles out in time for Xmas, both console forgot to get any actual next-gen launch games haha

It's time for another classic Mike Rose stats tweet thread!!

This time it's ☕**Spirittea launch week stats!**☕

We launched Spirittea last Monday, and it's been one of our biggest launches to date: Image
It's been a *fascinating* launch, due to where the game has been most successful

Usually we do very well on Steam, then the console versions catch up in the months afterwards

For Spirittea, Steam was our weakest platform, with Xbox and Switch accounting for 80% of the revenue!
I think the reason for this, is at least in part due to the way that the Steam store has evolved in the last couple of years, compared to the console stores

Way more AAA publishers have started popping their stuff on Steam, having failed to make non-Steam PC platforms happen

Let me tell you the story about how a little country called "Argentina" helped us to our biggest Nintendo Switch launch to date

I write "Argentina" in quotation marks because well... it wasn't really Argentina, was it?

Time for another classic Nintendo eShop thread:
So we put Let's Build a Zoo up for pre-order on Nintendo Switch on September 22, and I was feeling good about this one. Nice buzz around it, perfect for Switch... I went to bed with decent pre-orders trickling in

When I woke up and checked sales... holy crap. So many pre-orders!
So I did a little victory dance (I'm really good at those). Then I checked where these pre-orders were coming from and... ah. Hmm. Oh. Shit.

85% of our pre-orders were coming from "Argentina".

Oh no.

✨The Let's Build a Zoo launch week sales thread✨

We launched Let's Build a Zoo last Friday on Steam and Epic. It's been a pretty bonkers week, and the game has broken even already which is extremely pleasant!!

So in classic Mike Rose fashion, let's delve into LOADSA NUMBERS:
In the first 7 days we've sold 32k units, which translates to nearly $500k in revenue

This roughly matches what my expectations for the game were, and it means that all dev costs have been recouped, and the future for the game (and loads of further updates!) has been secured YEY
According to current numbers that are floating around the orifices of the Game Dev Internet, it's likely we'll now see roughly $700k in PC revenue in month one, and $1.5m in year 1. With the plans we have for future updates + the high user rating, I feel confident we'll hit that!

Currently playing a fun game called “how long can I stand playing GTA III before I can’t take it anymore”

This game has not even slightly aged well
I can’t even beat like, the fourth mission in the game, the controls are just too fucking shit. I can’t believe this has cost me money
Each mission is 2x worse than the last

No More Robots is 🎂4 years old🎂, so it's time for a thread of *LOVELY NUMBERS*:

- $12m in revenue during last 12 months
- More than 800,000 units sold
- More than 4 million people played our games
- Split pretty dang evenly across PC + all console platforms

Look at this graph Image
Here's the batshit thing: We didn't release a single new game in the last 12 months

Those numbers have come from bringing our existing games to new platforms, getting lovely deals for our games, and being Very Good at slowly but surely discounting our games incrementally deeper
Year 5 is going to be pretty release heavy, with all of the following games on the way:
- Let's Build a Zoo
- Not Tonight 2
- Heist Simulator
- Fashion Police Squad
- TombStar
- Several others we haven't announced yet 👀 ImageImageImageImage

This morning, I was locked out of my Google account

I chatted with Google support to see if they could help me. This is a genuine live chat with Google support:
tldr: Google support person couldn't help me, then I solved it myself, and explained my solution to them so they could fix the issue on their own PC
so if any of you need any google help

I am now support to google support I guess
