FortressCraft makes a million on XBLIG
According to developer ProjectorGames, FortressCraft has become the highest-grossing XBLIG release ever, bringing in over a million bucks with approximately 350,000 copies sold. To be fair, the developer thinks of it more as an amalgam of Dwarf Fortress and Minecraft, and plans to add more divergent elements in the future, but we're not sure that's how the people buying it think of it.
In any case, ProjectorGames should probably hang onto that million, because sales might slow a bit when it has to compete with for-real Minecraft.

Total Miner:Forge is WAY better, but it's so underrated.
Get the word out!
And Total Miner:Forge is only 240 MSP!
Best MC Clone + it's better than MC.

TTG SEAN no matter what they say the game is a rip off of minecraft and they only sold because of how much people want minecraft on the XBOX but.. with all that said well done to them and i hope its shown people that indie games are worth being checked out on xbox live
u might be right about that but then again idk if uve heard and u can look it up if u dont believe me but it has been confirmed that minecraft will be released on the xbox 360, there was no other info given like release date or anything like that, but the only thing that is for sure confirmed is the release of minecraft on the 360 and they said they'll probably put it in the indie games section
