SALES & DEALS

My Friend Pedro sold 250,000 copies in its first week
https://www.pcgamer.com/my-friend-pedro-sold-250000-copies-in-its-first-week/
My Friend Pedro, a 2D bullet-time score-attack action-platformer, is almost entirely the work of one developer: Victor Ågren, aka DeadToast Entertainment. Publisher Devolver Digital recently announced that his game sold 250,000 units in its first week (across both PC and Switch), so Victor's probably pretty happy about that.
To celebrate, Devolver have put together a charming video about Victor and the four-and-a-half year journey of My Friend Pedro, which began as a Flash game made for a student project, was put on the backburner when Victor got a job at MediaMolecule, and finally came out this year. Watch the whole thing embedded above.

Farming Simulator 19 sold over two million copies
https://www.pcgamer.com/farming-simulator-19-sold-over-two-million-copies/
French publisher Focus Home Interactive has released its yearly earnings, and clearly had a good 12 months, racking up $US143 million in the last fiscal year. Their biggest hit has been Farming Simulator 19, with over two million copies sold. As we reported at the start of the year, developer Giants Software launched an esports league with a €250,000 prize pool and its grand final will take place FarmCon 20. Baling hay is big business.
Vampyr, Dontnod's original but also slightly janky Victorian-era RPG, also did well with over a million copies sold. Dontnod has renewed its contract with Focus Home Interactive, and there's apparently a Vampyr TV show in the works too.

GOG's weekly sale, Created with Passion, brings up to 90% discounts on more than 300 games.

Fans resurrect Super Mario Bros Royale as a free open-source project, available to play
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/fans-resurrect-super-mario-bros-royale-as-a-free-open-source-project-available-to-play/
Two weeks ago, we informed you about a free fan Battle Royale game based on Nintendo’s classic 8-bit Super Mario Bros game. Nintendo was quick to react and took it down a week later and even though its creator made some adjustments to avoid any future copyright claim, Nintendo kept shutting it down. This act forced a few fans of the game to resurrect the original version and release it as a free open-source project.

Depths of Skyrim gives the sea a much-needed makeover
https://www.pcgamer.com/depths-of-skyrim-gives-the-sea-a-much-needed-makeover/
I've spent hundreds of hours exploring Skyrim across countless saves and multiple editions, and not surprisingly I've been on dry land for most of it. Skyrim's ocean is murky and full of unfriendly fish. Of my many downloaded mods, only a couple affect water, and then only the surface, but Depths of Skyrim, uploaded last week, changes a great deal more.
Depths of Skyrim is an underwater overhaul that gives the game's damp areas the same sort of attention that's been lavished upon its mountains and forests. No more diving off the coast just to discover some weeds and a slaughterfish waiting to snap at you until you flee back to shore.
