Absolutely bloody mental. He reached it this morning. The popularity this game has in alpha is just...wow.

That was fast since 400k
Blimey, around 5million euros over a game which isn't finished, had no advertisement and had no roots before. Nice one notch

Once he hits one million sales, the indie game dream just got a new threshold.

90% of those sales are just to work out what creepers are.

I just loaded the homepage and refreshed literally the same second and another 8 people had purchased it. I've played the free version and it is ok but I don't really like those sorts of games. I guess it's good for those who like that sort of thing though

Since I started writing, 26 people have purchased it lol.

Thats what i dont like about it though. People play the creation and then think thats all there is to it. no no no no no

I didn't purchase the game because I thought that's all you can do. I didn't purchase it because I simply don't like those kind of games

Darn you, go and watch some lets play and then tell me when you've bought it. Creating stuff is part of it, but not nearly all of it
