The last few days have been a little crazy, and we are still overwhelmed with the reactions and reception of shapez 2. Never would I have predicted this to happen! Here's a few milestones we achieved within the last 4 days: - 150.000 copies sold within less than 4 days, and still not slowing down - over 3.000 reviews, 98% positive (!) - #1 in trending, popular AND hot on SteamDB - #2 top seller on Steam, above Counter-Strike 2 & Cyberpunk 2077 - 18.800 concurrent players (and still growing!) - Favourite YouTuber Let's Game It Out (5,7 mio subs) covered it: "easily in my top 3 of the year!" - Notch (creator of Minecraft) complimenting us about the polish of the game As well as some awesome press reception! - PCGamer: "2024 is the best year we've ever had for factory games [...] I know this because the herald of this golden year of factories has arrived today in the form of early access for Shapez 2" (https://lnkd.in/emxhrw4S) - PCGamesN: "Despite it being early days, it does seem like a new juggernaut sandbox game is on the horizon, and it’s not going anywhere anytime soon." (https://lnkd.in/eg3QbU9f) - GameStar: "Shapez 2 ist quasi ein deutsches Factorio und geht bei Steam steil" (https://lnkd.in/eBWpz4kD) - Rock Paper Shotgun: "This is by far the most fun I've had reviewing a game, and Shapez 2 has, in my mind at least, turned the holy trinity of factory games (Factorio, Satisfactory, Dyson Sphere Program) into a holy quartet." (https://lnkd.in/eQ52VXpj) And many more! Exciting times - let's see what the future holds! PS: I'll be at Gamescom this year - busy schedule but still some free slots, hit me up if you want to chat! (No outsourcing / agencies please, we're fully staffed 😅 )

shapez 2 hits Early Access on 15 August and new wishlist milestone tobspr Games from Aachen has announced that shapez 2, the sequel to shapez, will be released on Steam Early Access on 15 August, just before gamescom. The factory building game is currently ranked 94th on Steam's most wanted list with over 300,000 wishlists. Its predecessor has sold more than 650,000 units on Steam and attracted more than 10 million players to its demo. "We're proud to have reached the point where shapez 2 is ready to be released in Early Access. The game already offers players a full-fledged experience worthy of a full launch - now we're going to take the time to continue polishing the game and add more content until we're completely satisfied with what we've created," Tobias Springer, founder of tobspr Games, says. "We're thankful for our passionate community that is just as invested in this game as we are and will help us shape the game even further during the Early Access period. Without our players we could not have made it this far to begin with." tobspr Games is developing and publishing the game itself, with Gamera Games helping with publishing in Asia. Game-Drive.nl is involved in PR and marketing. https://lnkd.in/exG992rZ
