In any case, I'm glad the devs found some success.
Maybe this is me sounding really cringe, but the world needs more people like this. Now more than ever.
TBH, I think the problem is not a lack of people like this, but that there's no oxygen for them anymore. Tech/gaming journalism is on life support (at best). All the remaining platforms are huge and corporate. Big tech is laying everyone off ... The current ecosystem doesn't really reward passion and competence anymore.

Traditional gaming journalism as once existed with magazines and later websites modeled after those magazines is wholly obsolete. For game discovery, reviews, and game tricks and tips, it has been replaced by independent youtubers and streamers. We're all much better off for this too, the new system gives much wider and deeper coverage to much more obscure games than the magazines ever could or would. Just as one exa…
I picked up a copy of Hypercharge back in 2020 after spotting it on one of the gaming subs. While it is technically a shooter, it turned out to be a 3D tower defense game - you place your turrets, shields and whatnots to protect against waves of enemies and then run around managing the defence and occasionally shooting at the baddies. It's not PvP. This was a bit of letdown because I was really hoping for a remake of…

i think even ut99 had some of those "we're small" maps like Simpsons house, etc.
but yeah, kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms, all seemingly covered.
Article calls it a third person game but from the gameplay footage I see online it's clearly first person. Have games journalists already been replaced with LLMs? Or maybe they should be. In any case, I'm glad the devs found some success.

Literally every indie game dev says exactly the same thing. It had nothing to do with "honesty", just luck again.
I wish more games would prioritize couch co-op modes over online play. Games that are focused on online only play basically have an expiration date from the day that they launch. Some may live longer, some may be dead on arrival. But, make a good game that's playable by friends together at any time on a rainy day? If the game is good, it never dies.
I think the cloud providers should figure out some kind of service for perpetual matchmaking/hosting of private servers. Devs are not always going to open source things but if you could fit your game server in some kind of package for Amazon to host then you can skirt that issue. In theory, enthusiasts could pay to keep the lights on even after the developer went out of business.
