Placid Plastic Duck Simulator is an unlikely Steam success.
, under the name Tunnel Vision Studio. As the designers told GameDiscoverCo, Placid Plastic Duck Simulator was made as part of an internal game jam two-and-a-half years into Starsand's development. They threw it on Steam with"zero marketing", and were pleased to see"at least two big Japanese Twitter pages" post about it on the day of release. It took off in Asia first, and has now spread to the west.
Turbolento put its success down to the fact that"Players tell their own stories" as the ducks bob about, particularly while streaming. It's a cheap game too, one you might pick up on a whim, though there is more going on than its pricetag might suggest.
Though on a much smaller scale, it reminds me of the way Coffee Stain Studios took a game jam prototype made as a joke after finishing tower-defense shooter Sanctum 2, released it, and made a smash hit out of Goat Simulator. Turbolento intend to continue supporting Placid Plastic Duck Simulator, with an expansion calledthat adds a winter location and"increased chilling" this month, and plan to add multiplayer support some time around March next year.
