don't forget Rimworld. One guy making a huge and sprawling game that ignored the studio sensibilities and became hit (and a couple of memes).
- Cthulhu_ 3y agoRimworld (and I'm sure Stardew will also be mentioned) came out years ago though; sure, the indie market was hopping back then too, but it's gotten worse since then.
- Etherlord87 3y ago> Rimworld [...] came out years ago though; Rimworld was released in 2018, two years after the article was written (2016)
- lfowles 3y ago2013* It spent a long time in Early Access and was already a beloved game by the time 1.0 released.
- Etherlord87 3y agoThat's a fair argument, I was one of the backers and I pretty much stopped playing the game (long) before it was released (still well spent money).
- hhmc 3y ago> that ignored the studio sensibilities I mean, it's strongly 'inspired' by dwarf fortress, so any heterodox design credit mostly belongs there
- bigger_inside 3y agodesign credit, absolutely! I'm speaking of Yayo and human leather hats, though. :D
