Adding to the list of small, single-developer-multi-year 2d games: Starsector[1]. It's a modern descendant of a whole set of top down shooters (I found it looking for a modern Escape Velocity, but it's quite different). The developer is very active and the modding community is huge - lots of total conversions and expansions have been created by the community.

- adrianpike 7y agoDid you ever find a good modern Escape Velocity? I lost a lot of time to that game back in the day, and it's still one my favorites of all time.
- aeturnum 7y agoThe answer I've found the most often is Endless Sky[1]. It's open source and has the look. I've installed it and messed about before, but never gotten enough into it to feel like it's a worthy successor (for me). Of course, EV Nova was released for Windows and still runs fine. I'll start a new campaign every few years. Not sure if you can still purchase it legally tho - the company has gone under[2]. Also - if you enjoy EV, I highly recommend checking out Subspace! It's not the same, exactly, but it scratches a lot of the same itches for me.
