Title: Re: Dear Esther took 5 hours to become profitable Post by: QXD-me on February 15, 2012, 09:51:53 PM Hurrah. Well done Dan et al. I'm hoping to find some time to play this in the next week or so.
Interestingly (for me at least) one of my friends, who I don't think really follows indie games, out of the blue mentioned Dear Esther a few days ago. That and the high sales makes me think that it has permeated the mainstream to some extent.

But just to add a little perspective: profitable here means that Indie Fund got its money back. I don't think this sum would cover the wages that all the people involved should have received if they were not driven by love. Anyway, I have no doubt that this amount will also be reached, if it hasn't already. So now, making art games is profitable? What a strange world we live in. :D Title: Re: Dear Esther took 5 hours to become profitable Post by: Pehr on March 09, 2012, 11:00:36 AM Today it is reviewed in the Swedish newspaper SvD.
High score. Praised for its beauty and mood, not leat the music. |
