1,据games industry的消息称Shenmue 3在Kickstarter 12个小时就筹集到了200万美元,其中前三个小时就有100万美元的募集。

这个筹资效率超过了其他的游戏,很多人认为情怀占据了绝大部分。

2,据pocket gamer的消息称Sega旗下的手机游戏Sonic Dash在iOS、Google Play、Amazon Appstore和Windows Phone Store等平台下载量超过了1亿次。

毫无疑问这个是Sonic游戏系列最有用户量的游戏。

1,To the surprise of absolutely nobody, the Kickstarter campaign to raise money for Shenmue 3 has reached its $2 million funding target.

But the speed with which Shenmue 3 reached that goal is far more surprising. The campaign reached $1 million in less than 3 hours, substantially quicker than any other game to date. And that irresistible momentum carried through to today, the $2 million funding target achieved in under 12 hours.

In terms of games on Kickstarter, only Exploding Kittens comes close to this rush of interest, and that went on to raise $8.8 million. Right now, Shenmue 3′s stretch goals only reach as far as $4 million. In all likelihood that won’t nearly be enough.

In part, it’s a consequence of spending a few minutes on-stage at Sony’s E3 conference, the announcement streaming out to a vast audience of gamers across the world. For some, those old enough to remember the ill-fated but fondly remembered Dreamcast, the wait for this moment has been a torturous 14 years.(source:gamesindustry.biz

2,Launched on iOS in March 2013, and since available on Google Play, Amazon Appstore for Android and Windows Phone Store, Sega’s endless runner Sonic Dash has racked up 100 million downloads.

It’s a headline number, and as Sega points out, one that makes Sonic Dash the most played Sonic game ever.

But aside from the mindshare it’s gained, can we at a look at how much revenue the Sega Hardlight-developed endless runner has been generating?

Of course, we can, and will do so in this week’s Charticle.

Running down a dream

The first thing to point out is that Sonic Dash isn’t a highly monetised game, at least in terms of the cost of single transactions.

Prices range from $0.99 to $14.99, including permanent items such as the $3.99 doubler.

None the less, in none of the countries that we’ve looked at does the game maintain a steady position in the top 100 grossing chart – the key to generating meaningful revenue.

Looking at the main English-speaking countries, both for iPhone and Google Play, the game’s performance in Australia and the US is similar – Sonic Dash launches well and then falls away.(source:pocketgamer.biz

3,Yooka-Laylee, the upcoming spiritual successor to N64 platforming classic Banjo-Kazooie, has concluded its £175k crowd-funding campaign with a whopping £2.1m raised.

Just over £2.09m was raised via Kickstarter, with another 30k added to the pot via PayPal. The game will now go into full production for a release in the tail end of 2016.

Yooka-Laylee squeaked its £2m stretch goal with around 24 hours to spare. This will unlock free post-launch DLC and allow yet more polish for the main game.

Around £50k was added in the wake of this week’s Microsot conference, when it was revealed that Banjo-maker Rare was now working on a new IP, and only releasing ports of its old games.

Speaking to Eurogamer at E3, veteran composer and fellow ex-Rare employee Grant Kirkhope said that he had been pleasantly surprised by the game’s success, but that it had vindicated his confidence for the 3D platform genre.

“I’ve worked with those guys for years,” said Kirkhope, who now lives in the US. “Myself and them [The UK Playtonic team] are massively impressed and humbled.”

“Work starts now,” writer and editor Andy Robinson added. “Yooka-Laylee’s success has been well beyond any of our expectations. Now it’s heads down. We’ll obliviously keep up with fans via social media, but hopefully the next time that the public see the game it will be much more advanced.”(source:eurogamer.net

4,Since the release of Goat Simulator on April Fool’s Day 2014, goats have been enjoying a prominent position in the cultural zeitgeist. Both humble and noble, the honorable goat reminds us to keep climbing ever upward towards our goals, no matter what the obstacle.

Happily, fans of the growing goat game genre have a new reason to be excited! Zynga has recently soft-launched Mountain Goat Mountain, an adorable arcade game where you ascend a treacherous mountain as perhaps the cutest goat ever rendered.(source:gamezebo.com
