In September, he released some more interesting information in a post at the IndieGamer forums, which GameProducer.net added to their sales stats list. In his time selling through Plimus, Cliffski had racked up $113,160.53 at the time of the screen shot in the post. That’s more than one title spanning a few years, but quite inspiring nonetheless.

[...] Positech Sales Stats By gdmike Back in February, Cliff Harris of Positech Games published the sales stats of his game Democracy (a fun game, by the way) at GameProducer.Net. Several months have gone by and Cliff has recently released a new game, Kudos. On top of that, he has released updated sales stats for Democracy along with two older Positech games, Asteroid Miner and Starship Tycoon. I knew that Democracy was doing well for him, but it’s interesting to see how well – 3,050 units moved in Direct sales over the past year. Congratulations, Cliff, and thanks for sharing the info.

Holy sacred cow carmen!
Ain’t that the best publicity for indie business?
I have a well paid day job but if I had such a little indie business on the side I could envision buying a big house.
Congrats Cliffski!!!
And IMO Kudos will probably sell at least as well as democracy.

Now the question is how longer can these democracy figures keep so high and how long did it take to reach these numbers?

I’m also a bit surprised about the portal sales, is the portal udience realy that hermetic to higher level games?

No info on Kudos yet?

I wonder if anyone is making any money with portal sales? Is it just the small casual games or what?
