Indiegame - Hammerwatch beta/demo

    So, everyone wanna know sales numbers and such.


    So here you have it ~22000 (steam and some pre-sales).


    Gonna be released on Gamersgate and GOG too, soon.

    Thanks, yes it's very interesting to have a Steam insider around and getting some figures/info about that. I'd bet we have many people wishing they could work on an indie game at one point or another, so thanks for sharing!

    How have you guys been marketing yourselves? I would think an ama on reddit with a few free keys would probably be a pretty good way to get lots of exposure. Also did you do any press copies to the more popular youtube channels like yogscast, seananners and totalbiscuit.

    Yogscast gave us a shitload of views on the greenlight page, to bad it was already greenlit... would be nice with such a boost now again, sales would probably sky rocket.


    I just added my own little mail signature, never had one before...

    Edit: Removed Sony

    I've been playing this game quite a bit, and I love it. Just one thing that is a little annoying: I wish I could just try again without restarting the server when everyone dies.

    Congrats hipshot !! played the game and it's lovely !

    (22000 * 8€ /100) * 65(i assume steam is taking 35%?) = 114 400 € ?


    That doesn't sounds bad at all ! Makes you want to make your own indie game one day congrats !

    Hmm, 55000x7x0.7 seems more correct...

    It's interesting, we keep getting contacted by Japanese companies that wants to translate and move this into the Japanese market, which is seems like fun, probably something we should look into.

    Should be looking more into a office too, hard to work from home now, getting less and less done every day as it feels.


    Here's some keys, please share amongst your fellow core brothers/sisters/whatever. Some people probably like this game better than others, it's not Diablo, so don't expect something like that, it's repetitive, hard and much more fun in coop.

    By the way, I'm curious about the amount of crap you had to go through to get it released: do you need to go through certification processes, getting it rated, etc. before you can get it on Steam or does Greenlight basically let you bypass all that? Do you need to set up an official company?


    I am very much in the mindset of working on an indie game in the near future, but those are questions I've never managed to get answers to. Basically, how much of a pain is it to get it out there once you're confident it's good enough?


    Thanks, and congrats on the moneys and fame and all that!

    Nice one on the keys for the community love


    And big congrats on your office, you're moving fast and it's great to see someone from this community have such massive success.
