Launch Results
It's just over 48 hours since the Creeper World 4 launch...
And things have progressed fantastically well! Better than my expectations by several fold. It would seem that folks really do like thermodynamics, differential equations, and cellular automata. Who knew! Sales have exceeded every success metric I'm aware of for the first week of an indie title, and we did it in the first few hours.
Sales have been robust, and Steam shows why it is a juggernaut. I think nowhere else in the depth of time has there been a place where a dude could make an interactive bag of math with some colorful graphics on it, and multitudes of smart folks could buy and enjoy that creation.
So thank you for your support, your purchases, your reviews, and existing. Because the world has smart and interesting people like you in it, I can make simulations and pass them off as games.
Onward to the 1.1 update!
Creeper World 4 Releasing Dec 3, 2020
Oh and there are already some sweet custom maps showing up that are ready for day 1. Folks have even implemented gameplay and weapons that I didn't think of... how'd that happen? The game is already out of my control it would seem and I'm the one looking forward to the release so I can play it!
K75 and I will be doing some live streaming shortly after the launch. I've heard its good for buzz. So tell your friends about the launch, especially all of the ones that have YouTube channels with 1+million subscribers.
