Newsbrief: DigitalDNA Games'
CastleMiner Z, a
Minecraft-style title with first-person shooter elements, has become the first Xbox Live Indie Games title to sell more than 1 million units.
A few sandbox games have found tremendous success on Xbox 360's download platforms -- since releasing on Xbox Live Arcade in May,
Minecraft's official console edition
has sold over 3 million copies.
And on Xbox Live Indie Games, though it competes with
CastleMiner Z and its popular predecessor
CastleMiner, Projector Games's
FortressCraft has generated more than $1 million in sales.
Priced at 80 MS Points ($1),
CastleMiner Z released around 10 months ago. DigitalDNA Games is currently
considering an expanded version of the title for PC.
