Order of the Sinking Star has been out for a week now, so I decided to run some stats on Steam where it's easy.
The Witness was our previous game that was very successful when launched 10 years ago. Order has sold 45% more units on Steam in its first week than Witness did.
Order is 25% cheaper (Witness was $40, Order is $30 with some bundle discounts, and there's been some inflation), so you would expect more units at the lower price. But regardless, it looks at least as financially successful as the Witness was, maybe a little more eventually, depending on how the tail goes.
Thanks everyone for supporting the game, and I'm glad you are enjoying it!

I'm looking for work!
I love technical challenges and got a deep artistic sense, enjoy stunning folks with visuals AND coding efficiently.
Worked on games, XR and immersive art, but especially interested in museum displays, music videos, science education.
DM me! Love to chat.

Roguelike minesweeper game mentioned here is called Dragonsweeper. It’s made by a legend @danielben!
It’s available for free on itch io (it’s a web version) so highly accessible! The trick is to carefully observe the board after you fail and spot the patterns!

Back from an amazing week at EVA Argentina 🇦🇷
I gave a talk on @SerenityForge, joined a @ID_Xbox panel, spoke to incredible devs & fans, met my hero @danielben, drank lots of mate, and attended a video game orchestra.
So grateful for the experience! Time to get back to work 🙌

Baby Steps, the game I've been working on for 6 years with @gabecuzzillo and @maxiboch, is out on PC and PS5! We've put a feature-length film's worth of stupid cutscenes in this thing, and I hope you like them. But if not, you can skip them.... OR CAN YOU????
RTs appreciated 🙏

Absolutely brilliant quote from this interview:
"Game design is a discipline that you cannot teach, but you can learn."
- @danielben
I can't put my finger on it exactly, but @danielben has such strong inner peace, that talking to him feels like therapy.
You can ask any question, he will always be open, make you laugh, and happily drop years of game design wisdom into the discussion!
@danielben, it was an honor!
