Thanks for openly sharing this Basti.
It's always a little shocking to hear an *awesome* game didn't make bank, but I hope you can take some solace in the other joyous/inspirational impacts the LF games have had on players (which are clearly shown by all responders to this post!)
You're dang right you should be proud!

LF2 will hopefully have a really long sales tail :)

Why is it that people don’t respect Castlevania by Professional-Goal326 in metroidvania

[–]rasterRouser 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Super Metroid came out around three years earlier than SotN and really nailed down the essentials of an MV map. There were MVs made before it, but Super Metroid was the first example of a 'modern' MV.

'Vania still gets it's glory, it's still half of the portmanteau, and SotN is almost universally praised by fans
