Stardew Valley doesn‘t have nearly as short of a timeframe but is another labor of love success.
- marricks 5y agoI think it's an even better personal success than Wordle, or at least different. It was a man's labor of love for years, which tied together all his interests: music, art, programming, games. And better yet he built a career out of doing all of those things and still owns and maintains it years later. Presumably still loves it too.
- smoldesu 5y agoA lot of breakout successes follow that formula. While I'm not particularly fond of his work, I have nothing but respect for Toby Fox and the years of work he put into bringing his dream to reality.
- Vepkhvi 5y agoToby Fox made undertale, not Stardew. But it’s definitely in the same vein of “labor of love!”
- NicoJuicy 5y agoIf you looked at the engineer of worldle, he tried a lot of similar games before eg. On mobile. Dating back since 2013. So, while it could be created in a short timeframe. A lot of experience/thinking went into it. Edit: changed 2016 to 2013
- ehsankia 5y agoThe original prototype for Wordle was actually back in 2013 [0]. But yeah he didn't really touch it until mid 2021 when he recreated it from scratch. The improved word list which plays a huge role came then, with the help of his partner classifying all 13k 5-letter words. I believe the share function came much later when he noticed people actually manually typing those colored squares. [0] https://youtu.be/X_e2IEaR4aA?t=1130 https://youtu.be/X_e2IEaR4aA?t=1130
