At that time I worked alone on our projects for ~5 years and way more years before that with changing people, including Sebastian as part of our modding team. Early in 2018 I was close to the release of <a href=\"https:\/\/elemental-war.com\/elemental-war\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Elemental War<\/a> and so I had to found the company and Sebastian joined me even though he had another own company already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since then time passed even faster. We launched <a href=\"https:\/\/elemental-war.com\/elemental-war\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Elemental War<\/a> into <strong>Steam Early Access in October 2018<\/strong>, our first commercial release ever. Before that we launched several Gothic 2 modifications and our launcher <a href=\"http:\/\/Spine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Spine<\/a>, but those of course never had any commercial intend. So it was quite a new experience for me personally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Elemental War: Trailer | Tower Defense Game\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ge_UQ_dO1Z0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Early Access was an interesting experience as we got good feedback and got in touch with our players. Then in July 2019 we had our final release, which was good, but also not overwhelming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During early access I also applied for console partnership so we could develop for <strong>Xbox<\/strong> and <strong>PlayStation<\/strong> as well as <strong>Switch<\/strong>. We got that approval which was a huge highlight for me again because not everybody can release on consoles and we as a new studio got that chance. Well, I then tried out <a href=\"https:\/\/elemental-war.com\/elemental-war\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Elemental War<\/a> on Xbox and the results were devastating. Performance was so bad, it took me around a year to bring it on today&#8217;s level with major refactoring (and working on <a href=\"https:\/\/tri6game.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tri6: Infinite<\/a> already on the side). Meanwhile we also applied for funding for two games which we sadly didn&#8217;t get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As already mentioned, while working on the console versions we also already worked on <a href=\"http:\/\/Tri6: Infinite\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tri6: Inf<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/tri6game.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">inite<\/a>. It had a way smaller scope than <a href=\"https:\/\/elemental-war.com\/elemental-war\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Elemental War<\/a> to have less problems to break even. We finished the game and launched it in <strong>July 2020<\/strong>. It was actually my birthday and a pretty bad decision to launch there. For some unknown reason we got way less impressions and so clicks on Steam compared to <a href=\"https:\/\/elemental-war.com\/elemental-war\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Elemental War<\/a>, never reached the 10 reviews (not even today, almost 3 years after launch!) and sales were super bad. It was a really devastating moment and at that point I was super frustrated and thought about shutting the company down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Tri6: Infinite | Endless Racing Game | Trailer v2\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9u6rXuqSFvw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But luckily I didn&#8217;t. A few months later we were able to finally launch <a href=\"https:\/\/elemental-war.com\/elemental-war\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Elemental War<\/a> on <strong>Xbox<\/strong>. That was in <strong>December 2020<\/strong> and that almost doubled our total sales within a month. Sadly <a href=\"https:\/\/tri6game.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tri6: Infinite<\/a> never got approved for ID@Xbox release for some unknown reason, so that stayed or worst project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, given that huge success (for us) we decided to go with <a href=\"https:\/\/elemental-war.com\/elemental-war-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Elemental War 2<\/a> next. The goal there was to improve on the mechanics, strip all the additional bloat we had in <a href=\"https:\/\/elemental-war.com\/elemental-war\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Elemental War<\/a> that nobody really cared about or we didn&#8217;t like anymore and make an overall better game. So in January 2021 we kicked off development of <a href=\"https:\/\/elemental-war.com\/elemental-war\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Elemental War<\/a> while on the side porting <a href=\"https:\/\/elemental-war.com\/elemental-war\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Elemental War<\/a> and Tri6: Infinite to consoles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then 2021 was our big porting year. We started with Tri6: Infinite on <strong>Nintendo Switch<\/strong> and that turned out to be very successful. Of course <a href=\"https:\/\/tri6game.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tri6: Infinite<\/a> was a perfect fit for the Switch and I always had that in mind during initial development, but the sales there did prove that I was right. Shortly after we launched <a href=\"https:\/\/tri6game.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tri6: Infinite<\/a> on <strong>PlayStation 4<\/strong> and a little later also <a href=\"https:\/\/elemental-war.com\/elemental-war\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Elemental War<\/a> for PlayStation 4. While <a href=\"https:\/\/elemental-war.com\/elemental-war\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Elemental War<\/a> didn&#8217;t sell too good on PS4, <a href=\"https:\/\/tri6game.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tri6: Infinite<\/a> actually did.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"829\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/clockwork-origins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tri6withoutStadia-829x512.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2282\" srcset=\"https:\/\/clockwork-origins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tri6withoutStadia-829x512.png 829w, https:\/\/clockwork-origins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tri6withoutStadia-486x300.png 486w, https:\/\/clockwork-origins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tri6withoutStadia-768x474.png 768w, https:\/\/clockwork-origins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tri6withoutStadia.png 892w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 829px) 100vw, 829px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Revenue share By platform as of April 2023 without Stadia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Our learning after that year which already started with the <a href=\"https:\/\/elemental-war.com\/elemental-war\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Elemental War<\/a> launch on Xbox was that consoles are the place where we can succeed way easier than on Steam. That also was an important learning for the development of <a href=\"https:\/\/elemental-war.com\/elemental-war-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Elemental War 2<\/a>. While for <a href=\"https:\/\/elemental-war.com\/elemental-war\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Elemental War<\/a> the console version got controller support added later on and simulates the mouse and stuff like that, for <a href=\"https:\/\/elemental-war.com\/elemental-war-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Elemental War 2<\/a> we designed everything with controller in mind so it is on the same level as mouse &amp; keyboard controls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2021 another for us very good thing happened: We got approved as <strong>Stadia partner<\/strong> and that turned out to be the most important piece of our current success story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2022 we then launched <a href=\"https:\/\/elemental-war.com\/elemental-war-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Elemental War 2<\/a>. The first time ever we launched on all platforms at once, that means <strong>Steam<\/strong>, <strong>Humble Store<\/strong>, <strong>Xbox One<\/strong>, <strong>Xbox Series X|S<\/strong>, <strong>PlayStation 4 &amp; 5<\/strong> and <strong>Stadia<\/strong>. Given that I did the whole development (except for graphics and audio) alone that was quite a hassle. But while <a href=\"https:\/\/elemental-war.com\/elemental-war\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Elemental War<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/tri6game.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tri6: Infinite<\/a> took around 2 years to break even <a href=\"https:\/\/elemental-war.com\/elemental-war-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Elemental War 2<\/a> did so with the first month sales. And as it sold better on Stadia than on Steam we thought it would be a good idea to port our other games to Stadia as well for some additional revenue while working on <a href=\"https:\/\/cyber-td.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CyberTD<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Elemental War 2 | Tower Defense | Launch Trailer\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WVYZi-NMLJg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So 2022 we started with the <a href=\"https:\/\/cyber-td.com\">Cyb<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/cyber-td.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">e<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/cyber-td.com\">rTD<\/a> development in February or March (don&#8217;t quite remember) while finalizing <a href=\"https:\/\/elemental-war.com\/elemental-war-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Elemental War 2<\/a> and waiting for our funding approval for <strong>Tri6: Arena<\/strong>, the successor to <a href=\"https:\/\/tri6game.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tri6: Infinite<\/a>. We got the approval and then worked on the concept for <strong>Tri6: Arena<\/strong> for quite a while while also releasing and updating <a href=\"https:\/\/elemental-war.com\/elemental-war-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Elemental War 2<\/a>, doing at least some work for <a href=\"https:\/\/cyber-td.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CyberTD<\/a> and porting the old games to <strong>Stadia<\/strong>, <strong>PlayStation 5<\/strong> and <strong>Xbox Series X|S<\/strong> (because why just Stadia if we&#8217;re anyway working on them again, right?).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"CyberTD | Tower Defense | Announcement Trailer\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0-INm_7mdt4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Then it was time to launch the ports. <a href=\"https:\/\/tri6game.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tri6: Infinite<\/a> was done earlier, so we launched it on Stadia (even <strong>Stadia Pro<\/strong>) and PlayStation 5 in September and just a few weeks later Stadia announced their shutdown. At that time <a href=\"https:\/\/elemental-war.com\/elemental-war\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Elemental War<\/a> for Stadia also was done already and in certification and we were shocked first due to the wasted time. Luckily it turned out we got some compensation and that was a pretty nice amount of money for us (even though we would&#8217;ve earned it anyway if they didn&#8217;t had to shut down, well, even more than that in the future).<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"840\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/clockwork-origins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tri6withStadia-840x512.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/clockwork-origins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tri6withStadia-840x512.png 840w, https:\/\/clockwork-origins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tri6withStadia-492x300.png 492w, https:\/\/clockwork-origins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tri6withStadia-768x468.png 768w, https:\/\/clockwork-origins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tri6withStadia.png 893w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Revenue Share by Platform as of April 2023<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Through the Stadia community the Stadia version of <a href=\"https:\/\/tri6game.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tri6: Infinite<\/a> even won the <strong>Cloud game of the year 2022<\/strong> award of <strong>Next Generation Gaming<\/strong> which we are super proud of.

We&#8217;re also trying to get prototype funding for <strong>Tri6: Arena<\/strong> to realize our pretty cool concept and make it the game it deserves to be. And of course <a href=\"https:\/\/elemental-war.com\/elemental-war-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Elemental War 2<\/a> on Switch will release in just a few weeks. Didn&#8217;t mention it before because I actually forgot, but that was quite a challenge as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, as we arrived in the present now, <strong>what about the next five years?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course we have a lot of plans and as usual a lot depends on the funding we get, either through some external funding like <strong>FFF Bavaria<\/strong> or the <strong>BMVI<\/strong> or as revenue from sales and platform deals. So far we almost only relied on our games revenue and haven&#8217;t reached super high numbers yet, so we have a lot of room for improvements here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this year our goal is to release <a href=\"https:\/\/cyber-td.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CyberTD<\/a> and get a bunch of the <strong>Tri6: Arena<\/strong> prototype done. <strong>Tri6: Arena<\/strong> is at the moment scheduled for release next year and we&#8217;ll keep you posted as soon as there are some informations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also want to check out the <strong>VR market<\/strong> with a first game, but that won&#8217;t be ready before next year and also depends on time constraints as it has no big priority at the moment. And we also want to start providing a porting and publishing service for consoles as we built up quite some experience there over the last years and especially small teams and solo devs can have a very hard time getting on there, porting their games and passing cert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another big goal for us is to come back to the cloud. We had a very good experience developing for Stadia &#8211; especially with the <strong>Stadia community<\/strong> &#8211; and are still in touch with many of them. At the moment we have no games in any cloud, but we&#8217;re constantly reaching out to some of the platform holders to find a way on at least some of them. It&#8217;s never easy for small devs as we tend to get ignored, but luckily that doesn&#8217;t hold us back from trying over and over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we have the funding for it we&#8217;ll also further expand the team. We have so many ideas what we could (realistically) do, but we lack the manpower. The good news is that Sebastian will finally really join our team (which means working here way more hours than before). That will help a lot in the coming months and I&#8217;m really looking forward to it.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"733\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/clockwork-origins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/W\u00fcste8colorKontrastFarbtemp-733x512.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-781\" srcset=\"https:\/\/clockwork-origins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/W\u00fcste8colorKontrastFarbtemp-733x512.jpg 733w, https:\/\/clockwork-origins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/W\u00fcste8colorKontrastFarbtemp-429x300.jpg 429w, https:\/\/clockwork-origins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/W\u00fcste8colorKontrastFarbtemp-768x537.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 733px) 100vw, 733px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The bigger goal for the upcoming years is to finally be able to tackle <a href=\"https:\/\/redskiesgame.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Red Skies: Ascension<\/a>. For our team size it&#8217;s not feasible yet, especially with the funding we have at the moment, but if we can steadily increase our revenue like during the last years we can absolutely manage that in the next five years. That will be our biggest project then. But we also want to keep doing smaller projects as well and have so many ideas there, for new franchises or games within our franchises as well as sequels (like Elemental War 3).
