https://automaton-media.com/en/news/japanese-viral-indie-hit-meccha-chameleon-sells-3-million-copies-in-a-week-as-creators-reveal-they-spent-nothing-on-advertising/>Viral Japanese hide-and-seek party game Meccha Chameleon has sold over 3 million copies just two days after it passed the 2 million mark on June 15, and exactly one week since it launched on Steam. Many are in awe of the indie game’s success, especially considering the fact that no money was spent on advertising, as recently confirmed by co-creator HAGANEIRO. >Rumors regarding the cause of Meccha Chameleon’s success have been spreading online. Some conspiracy theories suggested that co-creators LEMORION and HAGANEIRO may have paid streamers to spread the word of their game before release. Others implied the involvement of a wealthy backer or other developers, citing the costs needed to run servers that can support 209 thousand players (Meccha Chameleon’s highest concurrent player count at the time of writing). >It might also be worth nothing that Meccha Chameleon didn’t quite “crop up out of nowhere” as many people think it did. The game had steadily accumulated over 500,000 Steam Wislishts leading up to its release day, which likely drove early sales momentum.
If he copied Nintendo it would of been over for him but since he copied *earliest possible prop hunt game title here that was made in the west* he gets a pass.

LMAO
>streamerslop
>>741412241Is this what they call friendslop?
>>741412241>citing the costs needed to run servers that can support 209 thousand players (Meccha Chameleon’s highest concurrent player count at the time of writing).games journalism IQ.they obviously do peer to peer via steam's lobby system. only idiots would pay for stuff the users + gaben provide you for free
>>741412241>Niggas really like to play hide and seek in a video gameGrow up, kiddos.Waiting around till someone finds you is the most boring type of game.
>>741413172Game has guns.
>>741413172That's why you use freecam to wander about the map, dingus
>>741413172Anon, we play hide and seek as children for a reason. It's a needed survival skill. It helps you think reason and hones your senses. There's a reason why it pops up in stealth and horror games. Why there's always a section in games with this mechanic.
>>741412424Josh from britpol plays marathon. Says its really good
>>741412241>check it out>it's literally 1:1 prop hunt except you also paint yourselfbeing dirt cheap and friendslop is basically an instant win button at this point
i kind of like the idea of this but i have no friends and i don't know if a game like this is fun with randoms
There's a website called "jester" that these indie devs use to advertise their gamesMost of the content creators who use it to get paid don't disclose that their videos are sponsored fun fact for you all.
I read that as india game...sirs...
>>741412241it's literally just a gmod gamemode, amazing that people bought this
>>741412241>Some conspiracy theories suggested that co-creators LEMORION and HAGANEIRO may have paid streamersNo! Would they really do that?
>>741416349the game was less than 5 bucks and im pretty sure tons of people don't know what gmod is
Millions of casuals playing their party games. The tyranny of the masses. It's all they can fucking play!
>>741415992Indian game Mecca Chameleon where you color yourself brown like poo xD
>>741415806Josh is brown and homeless.
>>741412241I HECKIN LOVERINO GAMES WHERE I CAN HEAR THE STREAMER GROUP SCREAM AND USE THE FAKE LAUGH THEY SOUND LIKE FUCKING RETARDS WITHHAHA LOOK BIGGER STREAMER AUDIENCE, I AM LE FUN, I LE LAUGH AND SHOUTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOG
>watch a friend play this>he witnesses every other nigger clipping into the walls whistling, while the lobby assigned him jack shit time to hunt them all in the first placeFastest refund I've ever seen.
>>741415947I do, indeed, use this site and I do, indeed, not disclose that I got paid
>>741412725Presumably an AI article.
>>741416701>>he witnesses every other nigger clipping into the walls whistling, while the lobby assigned him jack shit time to hunt them all in the first placeYou can customize the number of hunters at the start of the game, you have an option that when one is hunted, it becomes a hunter a too.
>>741416694Last I checked the steam trailer doesn't use streamer fags like a bunch of the other friendslop games do.
>>741417302Yeah I've seen that, but I suppose it wouldn't have helped him with those hiding out of bounds.
>>741415869>being dirt cheap and friendslop is basically an instant win button at this pointQuick come up with a friendslop idea install Unity and ask claude to vibe code it for you.Buy some dollar assets.BECOME A MILLIONAIRE BRO ITS SO EASY.
>>741413172you can keep playing Sony's mature slops, anon. Delusional indie game devs who dare to make a game around fun, almirite
>>741415869Yeah, good luck getting a random streamer with at least 10k viewers picking your random game from steam and playing it with his group to fake they are having fun>I will pay them!Do you have 20k per hour in spare change?
>>741412424>those extreme spikesSo only Japs play that. Doesn't count as a hit when it's just one country, /v/ told me that in Wukong threads
>>741412241AAA sisters (male)?!
>>741417703And it was a retarded cope back then too. Jap spending X dollars=anyone else spending X dollars because X dollars=X dollars. The game is a major success.
>>741417639>20KYou're bribing a streamer not a politician anon.
>>741418270>He doesn't knowlemaoHow are we in the year of our Lord big twenty twntysix and there are still niggers that don't understand every popular streamer is a literal millionaire OR a subhuman retard that wasted all his money
It's fun, but there are "people" that play the game by painting themselves black and finding some exploit in a dark corner somewhere that's impossible to see instead of being creative and using their imagination to paint camouflage as intended
>>741416701It's a 6 dollar game..
>>741412424Now post the charts for the 1 million other indie games that released this year.
