But that audience never showed up, according to co-founder Dan O'Leary. "We're not satisfied with the sales," he <a href="http://www.superphillipcentral.com/2012/10/superphillip-interviews-dan-oleary-n.html">says in a recent interview</a>. "The 3DS attach rate is... challenging at best and it seems that, for all its promise, <em>Heroes of Ruin </em>did not appeal to enough of the installed base."<br /><br />O'Leary says the team is proud of its work and wouldn't mind returning to the genre, but also that sales likely won't justify a sequel anytime soon. Meanwhile n-Space is still hard at work, putting together the portable version of <a href="http://joystiq.com/game/skylanders-giants"><em>Skylanders Giants</em></a> for Activision, as well as the 3DS version of <a href="http://joystiq.com/game/rollercoaster-tycoon-3d"><em>RollerCoaster Tycoon 3D</em></a>. And O'Leary says the company has had Wii U development kits for a while, so there may be something brewing along that front in the future.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/10/28/n-space-co-founder-heroes-of-ruin-sales-disappoint/">n-Space co-founder: Heroes of Ruin sales disappoint</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Sun, 28 Oct 2012 18:00:00 EST.
