don't get what you mean +::Dunno

Forgot about Dreamscape.
In which case it might be

TBOL
Moonchild
Asguaard
LF3
Dreamscape

Though that would mean that Opaline doesn't come into the top 25, which would be surprising. So do I go for Dreamscape or Opaline? Decisions, decisions...

Unless (shock, horror!) LF3 is not anywhere in the top 25! No, that cannot be! The order of the universe would be shaken if that were true.

LF3 would have to be below LF1... but why not? Yes, why not??

Seems like I wasn't very successful with non-Aldorlea predictions. Obviously, there's no correlation between the "buzz" at the forum and sales. The third place for Skyborn is not surprising, though, the artworks are just beautiful - no wonder it has sold well.

Now for the Top 5 - I'll try
1. TBOL
2. Monnchild
3. Opaline
4. LF3
5. Asguaard

Obviously, there's no correlation between the "buzz" at the forum and sales.

There can be but it's not the only way to makes sales. Some games also have guides and a game with a guide is less likely to receive as many questions, since the answers are contained in the guide.

Now for the Top 5 - I'll try
1. TBOL
2. Monnchild
3. Opaline
4. LF3
5. Asguaard

not bad, not bad

05. Asguaard

The reward pictures are cool. And as almost everyone expected The Book of Legends in first... well done Indy. +::Thumbup

by **Indinera** » Sun Jan 06, 2013 12:43 pm

You should say well done TBOL.

It did significantly better than Moonchild (which did good but TBOL was out of its league).
Opaline is also significantly lower than these 2 but also fairly new so let's not rule it out yet in the long run.

by **D-Squall** » Sun Jan 06, 2013 12:55 pm

I wasn't expecting Asguaard to get the 5th position of the Top 5... but Laxius Force 3 is probably will be a very strong competitor.

by **Indinera** » Sun Jan 06, 2013 1:05 pm

Asguaard is a 2009 game. Trust me it did well lol
And so did LF3 since it's a 2010 release.

I wonder if Del and Sven saw the awards that their games earned it. They should be really proud.

by **Indinera** » Sun Jan 06, 2013 2:18 pm

I hope they will. Dancing Dragon got one, too.

AWARDS - ALDORLEA

AWARDS - NON-ALDORLEA

TBOL was a certain winner, no surprise here.
What puzzles me is that DSC obviously doesn't sell as well as the other Aldorlea games. I find it very surprising, considering that it's one of my favorite games.

by **Indinera** » Sun Jan 06, 2013 4:49 pm

I think DSC is a pretty neat game with solid gameplay and good productiom values. But it's true it doesn't sell as well as the others (although I think it's 26th or 27th so not too far either).
Maybe people don't click so well with its beginning or the overall concept of travelling through dreams? Sometimes innovation is not what sells best...
