"The XBOX Live Indie Game, FortressCraft, is once again breaking records. After a stunning launch on April 8th, 2011, the sandbox building game developed by ProjectorGames, has gone on to become the highest-grossing XBOX Indie Game of all time. The game continues to sell and has accumulated a massive player base which leads us to our exciting announcement today:
FortressCraft has grossed over $1,000,000 in sales with over 350,000 copies sold!"
"FortressCraft: Evolved is now available on Steam for $5.99, game publisher Digital Tribe Games announced today via a press release obtained by Examiner.
With a series of gameplay improvements including TwitchTV integration and Build2Me, an interesting building feature that allows you to guide your cursor to and from a specific point you’d like to build, “FortressCraft: Evolved” appears to be a vast improvement over its 2011 indie hit predecessor."
"FortressCraft Evolved will be hitting Steam’s Early Access in December 2013. The original FortressCraft was released on the Xbox 360 in 2011 and became one of the best-selling Xbox downloadable games of all time. The newest version - FortressCraft Evolved - has been recreated from the ground up in Unity to produce a new, more powerful experience in creative world building. Having learned much from their Xbox Live Indie Game success, the developers at ProjectorGames are busy building excitement among the community who are creatively sharing their constructions with wild enthusiasm."
The game was pretty lame. I think the PC is far too saturated with quality voxel world building games for this to really go anywhere.
They may have a market for those who literally will buy nothing unless it releases on Steam though.
I love voxel games and I've backed many of them. Right now I have Minecraft (of course), Masterspace, Vox, Terasology, 7 Days to Die, Xenominer, TUG (The Untitled Game), Planet Explorers, Starmade, and other similar games like Craft the World, Timber and Stone, Stonehearth (backed), Terraria, Star Bound.... I love them! There's always room for games with different features
"DjArcas, the head of Projector Games and developer of Xbox Live Indie Game hit FortressCraft: Chapter 1 has confirmed that the sequel to FortressCraft, working title FortressCraft: Unity, will be released on Steam later this year."
Can't wait, really been looking forward to a super powered FortressCraft version
The creator would also like to do XBO and PS4 versions. Just depends how things go.
F them. I really wish Notch would sue those clowns. He's too nice though. It's a strait clone.
Wonder how much minecraft will sell when it releases on XBL.
WHAT?!?!?
I thought total miner was the best minecraft ripoff not lame fucking fortress craft.
What this tells me... XBLIG can actually sell. They just need to be more than shit efforts or massage games.
Notch took the idea of Infiminer and made it into his own game...Minecraft
Relogic took the idea of Minecraft and made it into their own game...Terraria
Fotresscraft didn't do that. The guy basicaly wanted in on Notch's success and made it for a platform which Notch hadn't got to....yet
