The developers sent word yesterday that the game had passed the half a million sales milestone, helped along no doubt by a retail release earlier this year (it had previously been downloadable-only), as well as distribution in Europe.
Well played, Runic. The game thoroughly deserves it, and with a Mac release imminent, things are only looking up for both the game and the developer.

To me, going back and playing Diablo II now feels a bit bland because I’ve seen more can be done wiht the concept. That’s a very good job.

Good to see that the high speed data revolution has fulfilled on the promises in regard to indie games. Small teams with great ideas and a dedicated ideology can be just as successful as teams working under mammoth companies. Financial clout isn’t the barrier it once was and we are seeing some amazing results both here and in other games.

Thursday, May 20, 2010 at 12:45 AMHuh. I’ve never been a fan of Diablo-style games (although I did enjoy Record of Lodoss War on the Dreamcast, partly because I’m a fan of the anime) but given all I’ve heard about this game now (and how cheap it is on Steam) I may actually have to try it.
