Hey everyone!
Today's news is a small one - more emotional than substantial. It's been just a few days since the Early Access launch, and Project manager SIM has already been bought 200 times. For some, that's probably a funny little number, but for me it's 200 people who believed in a game made by one person. That's a lot.
Some fun facts:
Median playtime is already over an hour. Which means many of you didn't just "pop in for a quick look"
Strangely, there are only 9 people on the leaderboard so far. Can it really be that only 9 players out of ~150 have reached $5,000 in personal savings? For the record, I hit $5,000 on day 100 (yes, I'm on the leaderboard too). And I was genuinely trying, not just playing casually. Now I'm trailing at the bottom of the list :) Try to reach $5,000 faster than me - turns out it's not that hard XD
More people are playing the demo than the EA version :) But I guess that's normal.
Honestly, I'm really happy with these results. Sure, I wanted people to start buying my game. But I didn't set any goals for the Early Access launch. Truth be told, I thought maybe 100 people would buy it.
Also, thank you for all the activity in the Discussions. Turns out, replying to player comments is genuinely fun and rewarding!
I've moved all the reported bugs into my tracker (there weren't that many so far). I'll do my best to fix everything I can with the next update.
What's next?
I'm working on the "I AM A HUMAN" update - energy and mood for the PM himself, food and coffee, and your own home that you can develop. Details in my previous post:
I think that's all for today.
Thank you so much for the support and for your reviews! It looks like I'll soon reach 10 reviews on the store page, and Steam will start showing the game's rating. That would be a huge milestone for me - I never got there with my first game. So if you're enjoying the game (or even if you're not) - a few honest lines in a review would help a lot.
Thanks for being here! See you soon!
