Ticker: price and year-over-year change for 40 genres. Price is the median estimated first-year revenue of indie paid launches. The change shows for genres with 100+ launches. The same figures are on the Genres page.
3D + Building
Games tagged both 3D and Building: 185 indie paid launches, 19 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.
Showing 3D + Building priced $10 to $20, last 18 months. Lens figures exist at all prices only, so inside a price band the page shows the standard figures.
The pair's chance of a $100k+ first year beside each of its two tags, ranked like a high-score table, with typical earnings and the launches behind every figure.
3D + Building beats 3D and trails Building: 29.5 in 100 of its launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 16.3 in 100 for 3D and 34.7 in 100 for Building.
That is about 1.4 times the 20.4 in 100 expected for any launch at this price. Lens figures by price band are not computed yet, so this band uses the standard figures.
Each circle is one tag, sized by its launches, and the gold overlap is exactly this pair. Click a part to read it. Price changes the odds more than genre does (under $5: 0.4 in 100 launches earned $100k+; $20 to $40: 44.2 in 100), so read it within a price band.
The overlap is this niche: the 44 games tagged both 3D and Building priced $10 to $20. 29.5 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 15.5 in 100 for 3D-only games and 35.8 in 100 for Building-only games, so the mix beats 3D alone and trails Building alone.
Both: 44 games priced $10 to $20; 29.5 in 100 earned $100k+, odds by size $1k+ 82 in 100 · $10k+ 52 in 100 · $100k+ 30 in 100.
Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 44 launches. The outer parts are each tag's launches minus the pair's, so their chance is exact; their typical earnings are not computed yet. The last 18 months lens is not computed for the outer parts, so this diagram uses the standard figures.
