I wonder if Godot would help making the mobile ports easier. It took them several years to release an iOS version and a few more for android.

Probably. The first game ran on libGDX which had a checkered history of cross platform capabilities. Also I don’t think there’s much active development on it.

Balatro has definitely given Slay the Spire a lot of press, it's nice how they've gotten credit for their influence on that game

im assuming this is satire?

Why should it be satire? There's certainly more than a passing resemblance in the gameplay loop and general UI sensibilities between the two.

The creators of Slay the Spire have talked about how they gathered statistics on player runs and used that to balance the game. Does anyone know other games that have done this? (Especially single player games.)

Spying on users without explicit consent is sadly extremely common these days in all types of software.

Achievements were just the earliest iteration in games.

Nice to see godot getting more traction. I only just learned from discussion topics on steam that STS1 already runs on a free software engine/framework. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LibGDX I entirely misremembered their press release about them migrating away from unity for an upcoming game.

It's too bad they didn't stick with LibGDX, but not surprisingly the console situation makes that difficult:

The idea that Balatro gave Slay the Spire press would be like saying that the release of Halo 1 really gave Doom a lot of press.

Slay the Spire invented the entire genre.
