USA BASS Championship Sales Hit 33,000 units

http://www.valusoft.com/products/usabass.html

To view screenies and the descriptions.

I just got my royalty report from THQ and USA Bass has sold a total of 33,575 units with returns of 289 so a total of 32,286 units have been sold quarter ending 9-30-03.

I really want to thank JCL, Marco, Doug, and Luke for their great work and dedication. I produced USA Bass in less than 90 days with help from Joe Hocking and Florian Jungwirth.

If anyone still questions wether 3DGS can be used for commerical games I hope my results will show them that it can.

It would be something if the game hit 50,000 units in sales after XMAS that would make it a bona fide hit.

Thanks,

Ken

If you would, could you give a lil insight into your relations with your publisher, the frequency of sales/royalty reports, and the average royalty percentage paid by this publisher. Also... feel free to add nything else that you feel would help a game developer looking to get a finished game published. Thanks --Mike

This is great!: Look at the system requirements: Quote: � Windows� 98/Me/XP � Pentium� II 450 MHz or higher � 128 MB RAM � 100 MB hard drive space � 16 MB 3D accelerator � 16-bit sound card � DirectX� 8.1 or higher � 8x CD-ROM drive And check the sales. Just shows what 3DGS can do. If anyone asks the question again about 3DGS being able to actually create a game that can sell, show them this and let them weep. Good work and congratulations!. Regards Shad 3DGS User's Voice Together, we can make it better.

I lost track of it because my father had a serious heart attack and I lost a month of work time. When I went back to work on the game I was behind in my delivery and I did not have time to update the journal. I will try and get a demo out early next year. I will be out of town most of Decemember so the demo will have to wait, till I get back. I am really glad to see people are inspired to keep working on their projects. You need to find a good niche, produce a fun game, try not to bite off more than you can accomplish, and get it exposed, this very forum is great for that. I am working on a mini game using Marco's Physic's that will be shown to a new group of publishers very soon. Ken
