Well, just to update the thread - Blackroom now has $97,481 out of $700,000, after a little over a day.
For reference...
Battletech, a turn based strategy game based on a niche board game, made $709,000 dollars on its first day ($250,000 of that in the first 53 minutes).
Kingdom Come: Deliverance, a medieval open world game made by Warhorse Studios, roughly $270,000 on its first day.
Shenmue 3, $818,000 on its first day.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, a project by Koji Igarashi, of Castlevania fame (I'm waiting with glee on this one), $998,000 first day.
Torment: Tides of Numenera, $1,488,000, first day.
I guess being the father of Doom doesn't get you cash like it used to.
