The Indie game "Windrose" is in early access and debuts with almost 40k players in just two hours since launch. The game features naval ship combat, ship boarding, treasure hunting, base building... and many gameplay features that the failed pirate game from Ubisoft, "Skull and Bones", costing over $600 million in development costs, was missing.
This tiny team of only 15 people from Uzbekistan has already made a game that is clearly already a success, which a multi-billion-dollar company, like Ubisoft, could not do. Based on early estimates of the development cost, Windrose had a budget of $1-2.5 million in total, and they are expected to have already made a profit from initial sales.
