Developer Oleg Kazakov, in a private conversation during the IGRA (Initiative Gaming & Russian Awards) KONFA in St. Petersburg, shared the sales results of his role-playing games in the spirit of the best Bethesda projects.
The first Gedonia sold 150,000 copies. The main markets are: USA — 35%, UK — 30% and Russia — 30%.
The second part has already been released in early access and has managed to sell 25,000 copies — more than the first game at the same stage. According to Kazakov, the full version will be released in 2–3 years. All this time, the project will be developed: new zones, mechanics and improvements to existing content will appear. The plans are extremely ambitious.
The total budget of Gedonia 2 is many times higher than the budget of the original. The developer clarified that working on the game requires long-term funding, but current sales confirm interest in the series.
Kazakov also shared his plans for the future: he wants to create a separate story-driven game. According to him, this will be a short project, brought to technical perfection, lasting about six hours.
