We've been working on a TW-inspired browser game for about 3 years, it's called Banners & Thrones. Long time side project. After many closed playtests, it finally got to a point where we can show it to the public.

We know there are a lot of TW like games posted here lately and most of them are pretty bare bones. Best to just check it out yourself.

Playtest dates:

- Sun, Oct 4, 5 pm CEST: 300x speed round, 3 hours

- Fri, Oct 9, 7 pm CEST: 6x world, one week

- Sun, Oct 11, 2 pm CEST: 300x speed round, 6 hours

- Fri, Oct 16, 7 pm CEST: 40x world, 48 hours

Free to play and no pay to win, you can't buy anything that gives you an advantage.

Everyone who plays during the playtests gets an Early Supporter badge.

Just put out a new trailer for my idle case opening game inspired by CS2's skin economy, complete with old-school Trade-Up mechanics. Picked up over 3000 wishlists in a single day after the trailer went live, wasn't expecting that kind of response.

Been building an idle game inspired by CS2's case opening and skin economy, opening cases passively, trading on a fluctuating market, same rarity tension you know from real drops. New trailer just dropped, curious what this community thinks of how it captures that feeling.

the core mechanics are addictive, and is overall a great take to shake up minesweeper as a game:

After 8 months of work, I finally launched Coinsweeper on April 28th. It's a small game, priced at $4.99 (launched with a 25% release discount). Not a massive hit, but for me personally, it's a huge milestone.

I started with ~1,900 wishlists going into launch.

After 48 hours:

- Units sold: ~280

- Gross revenue: $1,118

- Net revenue: $951

- Wishlists: 1,949

After ~4 weeks:

- Units sold: ~800

- Gross revenue: $3,295

- Net revenue: $2,593

- Wishlists: 2,258

- Median playtime: 1h 36min

---

Is it life-changing money? No. But I proved to myself that I can build, ship, and sell a game. People are actually playing it - got 34 reviews and 93% is positive. The median playtime tells me they're not just refunding it immediately.

Return rate is at 12.5% which is a bit high, but something to learn from. I guess my game is just a bit short.

Happy to answer any questions about the launch, wishlists, or the process.
