Of Floating Isles: On Growing Pains and Video Games
Of Floating Isles: On Growing Pains and Video Games serves as a hybrid memoir and essay collection that utilizes the concept of ludobiography to examine the intersection of digital play and personal history.
- The book introduces 'ludobiography' as a framework for mapping personal traumas—including poverty, illness, and social marginalization—against the narratives of specific video games.
- The author argues that interactive media serves as a vital tool for processing grief, rationalizing real-world tragedies, and constructing personal identity.
- The narrative structure consists of eleven chapters, each linking a distinct life phase to a specific game, such as using 'Sonic the Hedgehog' to analyze sibling dynamics and 'Final Fantasy VII' to navigate bereavement.

Estimating Steam/Console Sales: Two Hot Methods
GameDiscoverCo's August 2021 newsletter offers two free spreadsheet tools that let developers ballpark Steam and console revenue before or shortly after launch.
- First-week sales on Steam typically range from 0.03 to 1.0 units per wishlist, serving as a primary baseline for forecasting total revenue.
- A conservative financial model for Steam titles estimates that Year 1 net revenue is approximately 3x the total sales volume achieved during the first week.
- The Fellow Traveller forecasting model improves accuracy by utilizing Month 1 sales-to-wishlist ratios, which can vary significantly between 10% and 90% depending on the title.
