The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Agriculture (3 of 8) and Crafting (3 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Open World + Survival, priced around $30. The breakout hits carry Creature Collector + Online Co-Op + Co-op; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: 6 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. You'd be launching into a busy stretch.

How these numbers were worked out

A hit here: 1,000+ reviews, roughly $150k+ before Steam's cut (a standard indie benchmark).

Copies come from each game's reviews times a sales-per-review rate that falls with release age, from about 31 for the most recent game here to about 38 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
