Anime + Fantasy

Games tagged both Anime and Fantasy: 193 indie paid launches, 13 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.

How to read this page

A hit is an estimated $100k+ first year. Revenue is estimated from Steam reviews, so read figures as "about". Earnings are sales on Steam after discounts and regional prices, before Steam's 30% cut, refunds and sales tax. About 58% of it reaches the developer.
Price moves the odds more than genre does, so the page opens on one price band. The keys in section 2 switch it.

2Overlap: where the two tags meet

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: 0.4 in 100 launches earned $100k+; $20 to $40: 44.2 in 100), so read it within a price band.

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 51 games tagged both Anime and Fantasy priced $10 to $20. 3 of 51 of them earned $100k+, against 15.3 in 100 for Anime-only games and 14.2 in 100 for Fantasy-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with Anime alone and is too small to compare with Fantasy alone.

Both: 51 games priced $10 to $20; 3 of 51 earned $100k+, odds by size $1k+ 67 in 100 · $10k+ 35 in 100 · $100k+ 3 of 51 launches.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 51 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.
