Jace Varlet, community manager at Nuggets Entertainment, shared the exciting news in a YouTube video.He said: "When I went to bed, the game sales had just reached 1 million copies, and when I woke up, the number was close to 1.3 million. The explosion of the game completely exceeded our expectations."
"Has the RV Arrived?" is a casual game featuring four-player cooperation. Players will drive a RV together through the Mabuts Valley full of obstacles.In the game, one player is responsible for driving, while other players need to work together to operate winches and other tools to overcome obstacles, and even deal with attacks by wild animals such as snakes and bears. The game process is full of surprises and joy.
After the game was released, it was quickly recognized by players. It currently has 84% "special praise" based on more than 10,000 reviews on Steam.Last weekend, its Steam concurrent online player peak also successfully exceeded 100,000.
According to industry analysts, the game's success is partly due to its user-friendly pricing strategy.At present, the discounted price of the game in the country is only about 51 yuan. The low entry threshold has effectively attracted a large number of players looking for an easy cooperative experience.
It is worth noting that "Is the RV Arrived?" is Nuggets Entertainment's debut film.The development team initially only planned to complete and release the game, with no long-term update path planned.However, driven by enthusiastic feedback from players and good sales, the studio said it would consider adding new content to the game and promised to fix the currently discovered program issues as soon as possible.
Although there are no plans to launch on the console platform, the outstanding performance of "Rv Arrived?", together with the success of this year's "Escape from Duck Cove" and other works, once again confirmed the strong vitality and market potential of independent games on the Steam platform.
