FortressCraft mines the most successful Xbox Live Indie Game launch ever

ProjectorGames is going to need a fortress to stash all that sweet cash it’s making off its hit indie game, FortressCraft. According to its official Twitter feed, FortressCraft sold 30,000 copies this weekend on 40,000 downloads, which means it had an insanely high 75% conversation ratio. To put things into perspective, it took around 5 months for Breath of Death VII to sell 30,000 copies. While there is no actual way to validate the claim, it’s currently the third top-downloaded item on all of Xbox Live, so it appears pretty likely. I’m going to be busy working on my XBLIG version of World of Warcraft, but we’ll still have a full review shortly.

He studied journalism at Penn State and got his master's degree in secondary education before realizing that not even summers off would make that job palatable. He now works in marketing and is trying to find time to continue writing a book about zombies, aliens, vampires, the end of the world, and a talking cat.
