00:00 hey dudes my name's blo it's that time

00:02 of year again where we check out each of

00:04 my released Steam games to see how they

00:06 did financially there's some new ones on

00:08 the list this year so it'll be

00:10 interesting to see how those did so

00:12 let's get right into

00:13[Music]

00:21 it first we'll start off with beardy

00:24 mcstr strong arm this was my first steam

00:26 game which I mostly just used to learn

00:29 how to launch games on Steam it was just

00:31 a little platformer where you can troll

00:33 a dude with a huge arm to jump through

00:35 your adventures with your best bud a

00:37 pink flying cat it's a pretty strange

00:39 game because I developed the game while

00:41 streaming and let people give ideas to

00:43 just throw in the game beardy Mong arm

00:46 released on March 16th 2020 and it took

00:49 a total development time of 1 year it

00:52 launched with a price of

00:54 $7.99 and it had 256 wish lists on

00:58 launch I spent $700 to market the game

01:01 today is November 26 2023 and it sold 75

01:06 copies with a gross revenue of

01:09 $599 25 so after steam's cut that comes

01:13 to

01:14 $419 48 so after everything that comes

01:18 to a total profit of

01:21 $380 53 which is an improvement over

01:25 last year which was

01:28 $492 38

01:30 next up is curo which is a real-time

01:33 text Adventure horror Rog likee where

01:35 you navigate through semi-randomly

01:37 generated dungeons to find weapons and

01:39 other loot to defeat the bosses it's a

01:42 pretty short game but it can be pretty

01:44 intense and most people that have played

01:45 it seemed to enjoy it Kira released on

01:48 October 16th 2020 and it took 1 and 1/2

01:52 months to develop the game the launch

01:54 price was

01:56 $2.99 and at launch it had 550 wish list

02:00 today is November 26

02:03 2023 and it sold a total of 222 copies

02:07 so that brings the gross revenue to

02:10 $663

02:11 78 after steam's cut that comes to $

02:17 46465 so the total profit after

02:19 everything is

02:21 $364 65 which is an improvement over

02:25 last year which was

02:27 $245 36 in the last update I mentioned

02:31 I'd like to make a little sequel to KIRO

02:33 since it's a game that is just kind of

02:35 fun to develop for well I did that

02:38 here's KIRO 2 the Wizards Guild It's

02:41 actually an online multiplayer Dungeon

02:43 Crawler up to six players but this one

02:45 is a little different from the original

02:47 because you can collect Loot and level

02:49 up your stats instead of dying in one

02:51 hit there's more dungeons in this one

02:54 and it actually uses ste's inventory

02:56 system so you can trade items with

02:57 people which is kind of neat so KIRO 2

03:00 the Wizards Guild released on April 21st

03:04 2023 it took a total development time of

03:07 4 months and it launched with a price of

03:11 $4.99 at launch it had 122 wish lists

03:15 and I didn't spend any money on

03:16 marketing today is November 26th 2023

03:20 and it sold 31 copies which brings the

03:23 gross revenue to

03:25 $123 after steam's cut that comes to $91

03:29 so after the $100 steam fee that brings

03:32 the total profit

03:35 to9 the last one is my favorite game out

03:37 of all of these so far it's called

03:39 okashi towers and it's a real-time

03:42 strategy game with Tower Defense

03:43 elements it can be played with up to

03:45 eight players with a variety of options

03:47 for teams in both custom lobbies or with

03:50 the matchmaking system there are lots of

03:52 maps and it even includes a map designer

03:55 so you can build your own custom maps to

03:57 play with your friends while this one is

03:59 released in Early Access I'm still

04:01 actively developing it and I have a

04:03 devlog series on it so if you're

04:05 interested you can check those out while

04:07 I didn't personally spend money to

04:09 Market this game my friend and I

04:11 actually did quite a lot to get it out

04:13 there we constantly posted on Reddit and

04:15 other social medias I also signed up for

04:18 steam nextfest October and streamed the

04:20 game which those streams had anywhere

04:22 from 500 to, 1500 concurrent viewers

04:25 over the festival week my friend also

04:28 hired a fairly popular streamer to play

04:30 the game and even hired a bunch of

04:32 Fiverr guys to write up reports on the

04:34 game to get third-party feedback just to

04:36 try to help improve the game play so

04:39 let's see what all of that added up to

04:41 okashi Towers released An Early Access

04:43 on October 27th

04:46 20123 it took a total development time

04:48 of 7 months but it's ongoing the launch

04:51 price was

04:53 $9.99 and it had 632 wish lists at

04:56 launch I personally didn't spend any

04:59 money on marketing and today is November

05:01 26th

05:02 2023 and it sold 25 copies so far the

05:06 gross revenue comes to

05:09 $193 and after steam's cut that comes to

05:13 $155 so after steam's $100 fee it made a

05:17 total profit of

05:19 $55 hey guys selling games is
