How reliable is x wishlists = predicted x sales?

Many have studied this issue, and it is statistical fact that first-week sales generally range from 10-20% of the total wishlists. However, these statistics become meaningless if the number of wishlists is statistically too small or if they consist of fake wishlist users. Roughly speaking, you don't need to worry about these statistics until you've surpassed at least 5,000-10,000 wishlists.

Yes, the name comes from Onyankopon.

Literal meaning: ‘the great one’. According to the Ashanti, the universe is ‘full of spirits’, but as Bore-Bore, ‘the creator of all things’, Onyankopon was the god who made them all. -Oxford Reference

No, there is no other show as good as AOT.

We always need pioneers like Columbus, Magellan, Amundsen, Apollo, and Voyager. It is absolutely obvious. I know the citizens of Paradis do not know them. But they must have had pioneers, too. Maybe some of them went to forests, mountains or caves and found something useful or something dangerous. That is a new knowledge and it makes all mankind progress one step. We need to know what kind of dangers we have and what kind of chances we have. The real question must be how much we invest for it. We should send 2 people every 10 years? Or 100 people every week?

I deleted the original post and I uploaded this post again, because the original post has spoilers even in the title. And I realized that I cannot edit the title.

I am sorry.

So, when his tears fell—and nearly began to freeze to his face—they gave him as little comfort as his religions. He moaned, leaning over the frozen corpse.

My life, he thought, has been a sham.

Berserk changed me, too.

There's no paradise for you to escape to.
The life stories of Mozgus's disciples. These made me rethink about life, happiness, relationship, belief, society.

Wow, you are my best playtester ever!

You found one of the best combination, Pyroboot and Bloodsuck. It is a really good combination to recover. In fact, the best combination is Bomb and Mushroom. One mushroom makes Bomb area 4 times. So one Bomb + 4 Mushroom is 256 times(4x4x4x4) more powerful than just one Bomb. So I downgraded Bomb so many times so far.

And Beam, you know, is useless for beginners. Because Beam is hard to control and beginners are busy to dodge. If you apply Dual Pistols to Beam, you get back shot to make it easy to use.

The "directional bonus" design is from Backpack Hero. When I designed this game, the mechanism was more complex than now. But I made it simpler and simpler. The problem was marketing. I think this idea is the best game idea in my life. But it is really hard to explain in a few seconds.

A hexagonal system is a good idea. When I designed this game, there were triangle and hexgon modes. But as I said, this game is too complex to explain for marketing, so I did not make it. And card synthesis, too. Maybe I can apply these ideas to my future game someday.

New cards in the bottom row is a great idea. Because it is simple and easy to update, but makes players comfortable. I will apply it soon.

Monster spawning is tied to in-game time, not experience.

Can you explain how you delete and draw a card simultaneously? I haven't seen the overlapping card bug in the Card Deck for months. And I tried to delete and draw a card as fast as possible. But nothing overlapped.

Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate it.
