Dev breaks down in tears when 4 years of labor are rewarded with $250,000 earnings in every week: ‘I do not know why individuals are so good’

In a small ray of sunshine for our fallen world, an indie dev who poured their coronary heart and soul into their sport appears to have truly been rewarded for it. As noticed by Dexerto (by way of GamesRadar), solo dev Cakez learnt his sport Tangy HD had made $250,000 in every week whereas he was streaming, and he appeared really unable to consider it.

Cakez has been documenting the method of creating Tangy HD on his YouTube channel and streams for the previous 4 years. A clip of him opening his day-one gross sales report and seeing it had made $30,000 went viral all by itself, and when the time got here to take a look at his week-one report, he invited the neighborhood to see it with him.

And, effectively, an already-emotional Cakez could not actually consider what he noticed: $245,123 gross lifetime Steam income ($197,847 web income). That is from 28,078 copies bought. Our hero could not consider it, and was instantly overcome by tears as his spouse whooped in celebration beside him. It was, I need to admit, an extremely healthful sight.

However I recognize it… It is so superb to see how many individuals have come out to help me, basically, and what I do. It is simply loopy, I actually do not know what to say. I do not know why individuals are so good.”

Which is all slightly heartwarming, when you ask me. As for Tangy HD? It is doing fairly effectively on Steam: 89% of its evaluations on the time of writing are optimistic, with one participant writing “Noticed the response vid. Purchased the sport. It is fairly good. Love a sport dev that does not count on something. GG’s my dude.”
