Indie developer Abbey Games’ 2D god game Reus managed to sell 235K copies of the game on Steam since its launch three months ago, according to the studio.
Co-founder Manuel Kerssemakers revealed, ”We figured out sharing sales figures is actually really important for the independent community. For example, we have learned a great deal from Hitbox Team’s discussion of their Dustforce sales in terms of what to expect. As soon as we think Reus is stuck in its long tail, we’ll prepare a complete post-mortem like that as well so that people may know what decisions lead to what sales. This will help people judge whether creating the games they love is also a viable way to make a living.”
Reus was released on the 16th May 2013, and earned an 8.0/10 score in Strategy Informer’s review.
