WordPress broke my sweet Google Docs script and now I can’t edit my original sales figures post anymore 😢.
So here’s a new one with some recent figures. I’ll start from when I began tracking pageviews through imgur.

* Since 20 October
** PWYW total earnings
*** Free
**** Doubled price!
Observations
Couple of things here: first, Heart of Goodhollow will not sell. I’ve written about it before and tried a bunch of stuff, but nothing’s working. So I gave up and made it free. Interesting there is that PWYW, even though it’s technically free, will give you way lower view-count than actual free. It also will make you less money than just asking a fair price.
The other fun one is that as a new year’s resolution I doubled the prices for Heist on Cassalanter Villa ($2 to $4) and Sunken Ruins of Ishau ($4 to $8!). I’m seeing a few things (but note this has only been live for 2 weeks):
- Sales seem to be pretty much unchanged!
- Views for Ishau are unchanged!
- Views for Heist have dropped massively!
I don’t have any good theories on any of this, let’s see what happens in the next few weeks.
