This ratio stayed pretty stable after 2 weeks or so from release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our refund rate is at about 5.6%, a slight increase from the rate after 1 week, which makes sense as players who buy later are players who may be less passionate about this kind of game, but I&#8217;m still pretty happy with this rate. As mentioned before, the average refund rate is about 5-8%, which puts us on the lower end of the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our wishlist to sales ratio is now at about 18%, and a conversion rate (users who first wishlisted then eventually purchased) of about 7%, a slight increase from ratios at the 1 week point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The current number of copies sold is about 47% higher then the number of copies sold after 1 week. This is pretty much in line with expectations from existing data from other games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you consider the current profits and the publisher advance (minus external expenses like freelancers), this game has earned enough to sustain at least 1 full-time developer for at least a year, possibly longer once we see the revenues from future sales!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">P.S we just released an update that adds some requested UI improvements please buy my game and givememoneythankyouverymuch<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Its been slightly more than a month since release, so it might be useful to look at how The Signal State has done.
