My game is one of the top sold games with RPG Maker tag on Steam.

It's on the middle of the third page. Of five pages. I'm not sure how you could reasonably call that one of the "top" games.

"RPGMaker" is the main tag used, not "RPG Maker". When searching for that, you're on page 5 of 12, which doesn't sound half bad, until you look at what's beneath it. For reference, using that tag, Ara Fell is the 31st top selling game. Strangers of the Power is 111th and Save Your Mother is 119th.

What is your goal here, Toumo?


BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURN

No goal, just saw it was in the Global Top Sellers list and got all hyped and wanted to share. There's more than 20 pages full of RPG Maker games on Steam and not even half of that makes it to Global Top Seller even last spot. Plus, you have to filter out the games otherwise there's tons of DLC for RPG Makers themselves and the engines.

Also honestly? Adventures is higher than they are already within a week.

I am just softening you guys up so that in 6 months when I "pull a Tuomo" with my own game on Steam you guys aren't so up in arms and put off about it.


Given that you have a record of talking about literally anything else, I highly doubt it would be an issue.

Also you own the site or some shit so frankly you could turn it into Kentona's Page of Kentona's Games and Talking About Games by Kentona and it'd be like, "Welp, not a fan of this new development, but I guess he's within his rights."

Are you guys seriously complaining about a single self-congratulatory status? Have you been on Facebook recently?

This isn't *exactly* the truth. Unity's earlier post gets a lot closer to the reason people aren't reacting favorably to the status.
Congrats, yo! Keep the good vibes flowin'!

Did you seriously just post without reading and understanding the whole conversation to stay within it's context? Isn't that what is plaguing facebook?

xD I kid, couldn't help myself.
What I have a problem with is not bragging; it's dishonesty. But I could let it go if he wasn't trying to form a publishing company.

It's not dishonest. All 3 of my games are in the global top sellers list right now.

I really didn't want this to be comparision to others but since you insist on doing it, Adventures of Dragon is literally higher than Ara Fell right now, when putting RPGMaker as tag and selecting games to filter out the DLC and bundles.



Page 2, just under Stitched.



At top of page 3.


I wasn't ever going to bring this up but you keep claiming I'm dishonest and acting really rude for no reason.

EDIT: All three of my games were earlier. Strangers is no longer after the sales ended. Remember, it's Steam, Global Sellers lists can change literally within days. After new update, it's only 7 pages of Global Top Sellers as opossed to the earlier. Adventures of Dragon has also been only on the rise since it was lower on page two earlier.


I really don't understand why you guys are trying to constantly downplay this milestone for me. Tons of RPG Maker games released not even half make it to Global Top Sellers list on Steam. I had literally all my games on the list for a while.

I'm not that familiar with Steam, but I think there might be some region differences in the sites. I only see Top Sellers in mine, and nothing anywhere called Global Top Sellers.

EDIT: Gah, forgot that I can't hyperlink it. Google the Global Top Sellers, you'll find the global sellers instead of your regional.

You're comparing a game that released 18 months ago against a game that released a week ago. Ara Fell has already made the bulk of its sales and the fact that it remains within 10 places (of a weekly sales chart) of your super successful new release speaks to its strength. If you want a fairer comparison I'm sure Badluck would be willing to release his first week sales.

I mean, Lisa was released in 2014 and is on 3rd spot still. It's not unfair comparision at all. Plus, I'm not the one doing it, Steam is.

Plus, if we're getting technical, Adventures of Dragon has had 0 launch visibility since it's Early Accces. I've not had access to the Steam's visibility rounds, this is completely without any of that. Those will come later when it'll be fully launched.
Reading this thread I feel like im back on newgrounds in the mid 2000s watching people brag about getting a daily place, I left newgrounds over a decade ago to get away from this shite but here it is again.

Congrats, your games selling, your proud of yourself. Maybe its time to start talking about how you think you achieved this wonderous sales milestone and what you think we could all learn from it going forward. You know, something actually constructive that benefits the community.
My best advice is to try. If you never try, you can never succeed. Sometimes it takes a leap of faith to be able to achieve greatness. This video is a great motivational one that I think speaks of this subject



Remember that marketing indie games, especially RPG Maker games nowadays is really hard, many people get pimples from just seeing anything with RPG Maker on it. You most likely won't be able to make massive sales on your first try when you're no name developer. Take each small step and slowly build your customer base while you start to slowly move towards more expensive products and thus maximize income. If you have the money, maybe even invest into making a free game with pay DLC such as "supporters sword" and some cute shirt that says "I am awesome." and price it for 0,99$ for those who want to show their support for you.

Using sales events and give aways is also a great way of getting lots of positive customer recognition. They are also really fun to do.
