Niches / Hand-drawn + Stylized
Hand-drawn + Stylized
Games tagged both Hand-drawn and Stylized: 111 indie paid launches, 4 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.
Showing Hand-drawn + Stylized 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 trails Hand-drawn and is level with Stylized; priced $10 to $20 it trails both 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.
Hand-drawn + Stylized trails both its tags: 2 of its 19 launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 17.4 in 100 for Hand-drawn and 15.7 in 100 for Stylized.
Lens figures by price band are not computed yet, so this band uses the standard figures. Small sample: 19 launches, 2 hits.
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 19 games tagged both Hand-drawn and Stylized priced $10 to $20. 10.5 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 18.3 for Hand-drawn-only games and 16.2 for Stylized-only games, so games with both tags did worse than games with either tag alone.
Both: 19 games priced $10 to $20; 10.5 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $9,998.
Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 19 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.
