Tormentis entered Early Access a year ago and, thanks to your help, has improved and changed significantly.
We're delighted that so many players remain loyal to Tormentis and believe in the game and its concept.
Even though I've been working on Tormentis for four and a half years now, it's still fun! Especially engaging with the community via Discord and email to learn more about players' wishes and thoughts.
As with all games, there's always speculation: how many players a game has, how often do players play, and does such a small game even have an active community?
Since our players are spread across Steam, Android, and iOS, a quick look at SteamDB can give a false picture. We'd also like to share some data with you here.
Across all platforms, there have been almost 10,000 installs and 40-80 daily active players since release. This includes approximately 400 sales (including full-price IAPs). Of course, we would be very happy if there were significantly more. The trend is increasing, which makes us optimistic.
Unfortunately, "Early Access" is a relatively large hurdle for many Steam users, especially when games are developed by small studios. I understand this and hope that with continuous improvements and, above all, future updates, we can continue to build confidence in the game.
Another question I've been asked a lot recently is when Tormentis will reach version 1.0? We actually wanted to stay in EA for 6-9 months – other developers might already release the game in 1.0, but I want to offer more depth with Tormentis through more units and more equipment. Furthermore, the league should be more interesting and varied (a new concept has already been developed with the community on Discord). Based on current planning and the remaining tasks, it is realistic to release version 1.0 in spring 2026.
At this point, I would like to thank you again from the bottom of my heart! Your honest and direct feedback is a valuable help to make Tormentis a great game.
