Newgrounds News from the past week:
The Room - Entertainment Weekly?
I don't think Newgrounds has ever gotten a mention in Entertainment Weekly, so I'm thinking if enough people visit this page on their site (about The Room game), maybe we'll get on their radar:
http://popwatch.ew.com/2010/09/06/the-ro om-video-game/
We also got write-ups in Joystiq and the The Boston Phoenix.
The cast members who played Lisa and Denny have plugged the game on their pages and I hear Tommy Wiseau enjoyed it! That makes me the happiest of all, because I really really want him to like it.
I made note of the DVD's Amazon sales stats right before we launched:
Amazon Bestsellers Rank: #683 in Movies & TV (See Top 100 in Movies & TV)
#1 in Movies & TV > Comedy > Independently Distributed
#8 in Movies & TV > Drama > Independently Distributed
We're using our Flash API to track clicks and so far, 4,739 people have clicked the in-game link to check out the DVD on Amazon. The stats on Amazon fluctuate (they were actually better this morning) but right now they are:
Amazon Bestsellers Rank: #346 in Movies & TV (See Top 100 in Movies & TV)
#1 in Movies & TV > Comedy > Independently Distributed
#5 in Movies & TV > Drama > Independently Distributed
Even crazier, a lot of people have been clicking Johnny's face on the loading screen - probably thinking it's the play button. As a result, 26,824 people have gone to the IMDB page for Tommy Wiseau. He was up 15% last week but the stat just updated today and he is up 157% in popularity this week. This next week could be even bigger!
Thank you everyone who has left positive feedback on the game! I have a few bugs to fix this week, but I'm also trying to get something (small) ready for Madness Day before I head out for the Tokyo Game Show.
