Here's a little bit of background on Dan and the launch of his first game:
Dan's Dream and the Dawn of Ghost Archipelago
In the vibrant year of 34 in the world of Ghost Archipelago, a young dreamer named Dan was breathing a passion for world building. He watched in awe as major game companies appeared on the horizon, but he knew that his destiny was to forge his own path. With a twinkle in his eye and a steely determination, Dan founded his own studio: Ghost Archipelago.
Wasting no time, Dan dove headfirst into his inaugural project. Nights turned into days, and the computer screen became his blank canvas for a gothic and mysterious universe. Five months of hard work, full of challenges and discoveries, culminated in the birth of his first game: a vampire RPG, named, in honor of his studio, Ghost Archipelago.
Launch day arrived, bringing with it a mix of anticipation and euphoria. The game, available for PC, promised an immersive adventure. The first numbers began to appear, painting an initial portrait of the success (or challenge) that the future held:

Dan's Reaction
Dan stared at the numbers, his eyes scanning each line of the spreadsheet that materialized in front of him. A smile, which started small, quickly expanded, lighting up his face.
"Nineteen thousand copies sold? And with a profit of ninety-two thousand!" he exclaimed to himself, his voice a mix of disbelief and pure joy. He had invested every ounce of his energy and every penny he had into this dream. Seeing it materialize and, more than that, succeed, was an immense relief.
The average rating of 7.00 was solid, showing that his work was appreciated. But what really touched Dan was the number of fans: 131,000. They weren't just buyers, they were people who connected with his vision, who immersed themselves in the world he created.
The sales rank of 18, among so many other titles, was a powerful validation. Ghost Archipelago, his little seed thrown to the wind, was beginning to blossom.
Dan took a deep breath, feeling the weight of the exhaustion of the last few months dissipate, replaced by a wave of motivation. The road would be long, he knew, but the success of "Ghost Archipelago" was only the first chapter. From there, the world was ready to be captivated by Dan's dreams, one game at a time.
