Niche

Futuristic + Space

Games tagged both Futuristic and Space: 72 indie paid launches, 5 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.

Showing Futuristic + Space priced $10 to $20, last 18 months. Lens figures exist at all prices only, so inside a price band the page shows the standard figures. This filter changes the answer: at all prices the pair is about level with Futuristic and is about level with Space; priced $10 to $20 it is too small to compare with Futuristic and is too small to compare with Space.

1Scoreboard: the pair against each of its tags

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.

ScoreboardDoes this pair beat its genres?$10 to $20

Futuristic + Space is too small to compare with Futuristic and is too small to compare with Space: 3 of its 12 launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 19.2 in 100 for Futuristic and 18.7 in 100 for Space.

Lens figures by price band are not computed yet, so this band uses the standard figures. Small sample: 12 launches, 3 hits.

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: 0.5 in 100 launches earned $100k+; $20 to $40: 40.0 in 100), so read it within a price band.

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 12 games tagged both Futuristic and Space priced $10 to $20. 3 of 12 of them earned $100k+, against 18.2 in 100 for Futuristic-only games and 17.9 in 100 for Space-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with Futuristic alone and is too small to compare with Space alone.

Both: 12 games priced $10 to $20; 3 of 12 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $9,767.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 12 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 last 18 months lens is not computed for the outer parts, so this diagram uses the standard figures.

Space is led by STAR WARS™: Battlefront Classic Collection, with 14.4% of its money.
