FortressCraft Sells 30K Copies

The recently released XBLIG FortressCraft has received high sales on the very first day: approximately thirty thousand people purchased the Xbox Indie at three dollars a sale.

This rate of sales during the first day of release is unprecendented and has broken sales records. Also FortressCraft remains at #1 out of 50 on the Top Downloaded list on the XBLIG Marketplace.

Catering to a massive audience, FortressCraft has met their demand for the release and promises new updates in the future with more features and bug fixes.

Every single one of which it didn't deserve.

SlipperyMooseCakes4762d ago

Why not. Someone saw a genius opportunity and went for it. Perhaps it's not the most original game but the game is pretty good and it is a massive hit. I'd say job well done. This will only lead to more competition and improvements amongst these games.

Wenis4762d ago

I love minecraft but its Mojang's fault for not bringing it to consoles, and now someone beat them to it.

MAJ0R4762d ago (Edited 4762d ago )

lol no one beat them to it, it's a rip-off riding off of minecraft's success

but the game sucks so much that Notch wouldn't even bother to ask for a portion of the money made from it

HSx94762d ago (Edited 4762d ago )

Exactly, buy this game, and you give money to this douchebag:

That's the PR of FortressCraft, very immature guy.

HK64762d ago

Actually you would be giving money to DjArcas who is a very nice British man. Keemstar is just an idiot who doesn't know what he is talking about.

HSx94762d ago (Edited 4762d ago )

He's the PR for the game... He gets paid by Arcas to be a PR, therefore you are giving your money to him as well.

More reason why MineCraft should be ported to consoles.

LunaticBrandon4762d ago

I doubt it ever will. The release date for the game will be 11/11/11 but they'll keep updating it. The game will never actually be finished.

ME19894762d ago (Edited 4762d ago )

Looks great. I'll probably get it tomorrow.

MRHARDON4762d ago

All FPS are rip offs
All RPGS are rip offs
All racing games are rip offs

While it might strongly look like another game, the guy still had to code the game and everything.

This deserves all sales it recieves.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5068d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905068d ago (Edited 5068d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5068d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5068d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495068d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5068d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5068d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
