The "Crab Crab Finding Adventure" released in the first half of the year is undoubtedly a dark horse in the 2024 independent game.
With the label with "Happy Soul Tour", plus its own good quality and cute systemThe contrast of the style of painting made it a small explosion at that time. Not only did they get "special praise" on the Steam platform, but many international game media such as IGN gave a very high evaluation.
Unlike some games that are applauded and not applauded, the praise of the media side is smoothly reflected in sales. 8In the month, the developer Aggro Crab Games announced that the sales of game sales had exceeded 500,000, and it was less than 4 months before the game was launched.
Compared with the results of other games of the same specifications, the results of "Crab Crab" can actually be described as "excellent", but even if it is a manufacturer of such a game, it is not possible to do this now.Volkswagen has been caught in the issue of "shortage of funds".
On November 2nd, Aggro Crab Games posted on Twitter stated: "The financing plan for our third game failed, I guess it really does not stay in 2024 not to stay in 2024 not to stay in 2024Love.Who cares?The idea is that although "Crab" made some money, it cannot completely cover the development cost of the next game.
The reason for this part is mainly because game revenue is left after 30%of Steam, labor costs, and many other expenses.The favors of merchants cannot get investment.
And this situation is not alone. It has excellent works like "Crab" developers, but the new game still cannot find the game team of financial support and publishers.In fact, there are still many in Europe and the United States today, and if you continue to raise funds, the studio is likely to usher in the fate of shutdown.
Die Gute Fabrik has been forced to usher in the fate of closing this year. This Studio in Denmark is not well -known in China, but the masterpiece "Mutazione" alsoGet the "praise" results on Steam.
In February of this year, Die Gute Fabrik said in an official statement that he was about to close, and one of the important reasons was: "Companies of our scale areFor example, the issuance and investment environment is very difficult.The developer of "Deliver us The Moon") also mentioned a similar situation in an interview with foreign media.
The president Koen Deetman described himself in the past two years, he tried to invest in or distributed support for the 5 games of the studio, but it has been byReject nearly 200 times.
As a developer, the standards and preferences of the issuer are becoming more and more elusive, which may also be the cause of rejection.
Koen means that sometimes the reason that the investor rejected is the game "too unique", but sometimes it becomes "too ordinary".Another distribution will give an evaluation of "too commercialized", so that in the end, I started to doubt that "" is the developer who needs to reflect on itself, or is there any other problems that have not been resolved? "
So what should I do if they cant integrate and have no other funding sources?In the tweet of "Failure Failure" in "Crab and Crab", many players have suggested to spend the difficulties in the way of "crowdfunding".
This is of course a solution, but for small teams with small scale, "crowdfunding" means that the project progress and quality need to be stricter. OnceThe game is stopped because of some accidents, and it will inevitably cause a new round of public relations crisis.
At present, the developers of "Crab" still have not found other ways to smoothly raise funds. For fans of the game, they may need to wait for a long time to hope to play for a long time to play for a long time to play to play for a long time to playIts a new work.
