December Economic Update
Added 2026-01-13 13:43:05 +0000 UTCA little late with the update, due to my Christmas/New-Year break, but just got the numbers finished for December, and with that for the entirety of 2025.
I was really nervous that December wouldn't end well, as the sales at the start of the month wasn't looking good. But saw a huge boost in sale when the Christmas content was released, making last month finish 2.5K USD green, and with that the overall result for the year is 2100 USD in the green!
This is the first time since 2022 that the game have run a profit for the year, and while it isn't a huge profit, it's still a big turn around from last year that ended 3K in the red.
So I can't thank you all enough for all the support!
Going forward, the economic situation still isn't perfect, but it's a step in the right direction. Sales for the start of January aren't too strong, but I hope that they'll somewhat around in the coming weeks, and that we overall can continue the positive development.
But to help with the economic situation, and really rebuild the economic buffer that was lost the last couple of years, I've said yes to a part-time work offer from another game to build their server infrastructure. This will be done through my company Next World Games (that technically runs AMQ), meaning all the money earned will go into the AMQ budget. I will be spending around 15 hours a week from next month until summer on this, so it will take some development time away from AMQ, but I overall still plan on continuing the development, and with the extra money, it will hopefully both help secure AMQ financially in the coming years, and potentially allow me to invest more into the game (would love to start adding animated avatars again, and look into getting a UI/UX specialist to help with both webpage design, but also a potential mobile version).
That's it for this update, so glad we ended up in the green and looking forward to sharing 2026 with all of you!
