Pretty wild stats comparison between Star Wars Zero Company and Star Wars Droid Tycoon.
For full context: This was their launch weekend, and these stats are only representative of PC players. I am curious what percentage of Zero Company players are on console. And we were seeing a big spike from a weekend event.
All things considered, it's incredible to see a UGC game made by a small team in a short period of time can go toe-to-toe engagement wise with a AAA title using the same IP.
Congrats to Zero Company team on a successful launch, I'm excited to jump in and play!

UEFN was the pivot that changed the trajectory of our company. We stayed curious, rolled up our sleeves, and just started shipping. If we could do it, anyone can.
In March 2023, Future Trash co-founder Kevin Marciano was at GDC with a Steam Deck and a few months of runway left, trying to save his studio - then UEFN got announced.
Fast forward to today and the studio has over two billion minutes played, a $5M seed round, a Game Awards nomination, and the record breaking Droid Tycoon!
We sat down with @kev_marciano to get the full story: fn.gg/dev-stories-future-tra…

Excited to see @bot out there. Had early beta access and it’s been genuinely useful day to day, enough that I haven’t opened Cursor since.
Favorite bits: seamless handoff across devices, multitasking with cloud agents in a single thread, responses you would want in a chat bot and using cloud agents to save my local resources.
Few projects: Many iOS updates, ported an iOS app to Android, built Discord bots, cut AWS spend ~75%, and took over webmaster updates.
Really looking forward to how this product evolves.
Thanks @shubgaur @vincentzhu @joshkim for the early access 🙏 @SpaceXAI
