btw great game so gl guys

Right now it is still not enough money to get royalties, if that was you ask for. It is about 200k copies sold (according to vgchartz).
However, extrapolation is rather good.
Game was just released in Germany, and it is still less than month from UK release.
In any case - developer is last link in a royalties chain, so publisher will definetly get money he invested with a reasonable (100-200%) margin.
Game business is risky one, so margin should be bigger than that to allow developer to get his royalty - but it is already OK for us to make sure someone (this publisher or other) would like to publish our game.

And there is PSN/XBL in the end.

Please correct me if I'm wrong(NICELY!), but from what I'm reading, is future DLC still up in the air right now?(No pun intended). I know we are getting a TU, but is that all we know for sure? I thought we had already been promised DLC.

Yes, and we've almost made it already.
But we are not the one who released it.
In any case, it is still enough time, so don't worry now.

Well, like Anton mentioned: Consoles are limited to updates/ DLC - A second disc/ sequel should provide the updates... who knows, perhaps the DEVs are even considering the "FLY-BY" camera view this time?! I will be thrilled! No matter, I'm definitely buying the sequel! We appreciate your work Anton!

I don't give a flying monkey's about the sequel, I just wanted what had been assured; but this very thread prompted me to list the game on Amazon, the company has left me feeling cheated, and I know for a fact I'm not the only one.

You and your team should get paid for being the best developer. I never seen devs stay in contact with fans and explain things like your team does. Big Thumbs Up

Of course, it depends on sales.
But first month sales are already ok, I guess - at least for us, developers.
