3D + Roguelike
Games tagged both 3D and Roguelike: 347 indie paid launches, 18 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.
Showing 3D + Roguelike priced $10 to $20, west-facing view. Lens figures exist at all prices only, so inside a price band the page shows the standard figures.
The pair's chance of a $100k+ first year beside each of its two tags, ranked like a high-score table, with typical earnings and the launches behind every figure.
3D + Roguelike beats 3D and trails Roguelike: 16.7 in 100 of its launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 14.3 in 100 for 3D and 23.5 in 100 for Roguelike.
That is about 0.9 times the 18.6 in 100 expected for any launch at this price. Lens figures by price band are not computed yet, so this band uses the standard figures.
Each circle is one tag, sized by its launches, and the gold overlap is exactly this pair. Click a part to read it. Price changes the odds more than genre does (under $5: 0.5 in 100 launches earned $100k+; $20 to $40: 42.4 in 100), so read it within a price band.
The overlap is this niche: the 66 games tagged both 3D and Roguelike priced $10 to $20. 16.7 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 14.2 for 3D-only games and 24.6 for Roguelike-only games, so the mix beats 3D alone and trails Roguelike alone.
Both: 66 games priced $10 to $20; 16.7 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $7,628.
Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 66 launches. The outer parts are each tag's launches minus the pair's, so their chance is exact; their typical earnings are not computed yet. The west-facing view lens is not computed for the outer parts, so this diagram uses the standard figures.
