This comparison is somewhat misleading though.
AAA games like Call of Duty Modern Warfare (2019) only have 50-60 developers.
But then they'll have another 50-60 designers. 15 audio people. 40 animators. 90 artists.
Most of that large team size is caused by the realistic graphics, which Factorio (and most other indie games) simply don't have.
- newswasboring 6y agoWell the factorio team is also only 4 developers, 1 tech lead, 1 art lead and 1 3D modeler for some reason. You still think its misleading comparison?[1] [1]https://factorio.com/game/about https://factorio.com/game/about
- Macha 6y agoThe factorio graphics are designed in 3d and pre-rendered to 2d for use in the game
