It seems that Aircraft Carrier Survival was a financial success. The game by Polish studio Gambit Games started earning money in just 24 hours.
Aircraft Carrier Survival has done well financially - such information was provided by the game's publisher, CreativeForge Games. In the published announcement [in Polish] we read that:
"The total cost of development, testing, localization and marketing of the Game on PC, calculated as of the date of the report, did not exceed PLN 400K, and was fully reimbursed within 24 hours of the start of sales."
Good launch on Steam
Aircraft Carrier Survival debuted on Steam on April 20 and the launch can be considered successful. The game about managing a World War II-era aircraft carrier had a peak activity of 2.2 thousand people, which is a good result for such a niche production.
