I will give Eric/ConcernedApe all of the patience and grace he asks for. Man is a good guy and legend of game development.
It’s almost odd how rare this attitude is nowadays. I remember being excited for the next Blizzard Games release back in the day because you always heard them talk about quality over meeting arbitrary deadlines.
I get that being out there in the market early is important too. Investments need to pay a return with our current economic model. I just keep thinking of all the games that could have used a little more ripening and they likely would have been a lot more successful instead of losing the studio money.
Dude has to be a millionaire by now. Anything else he makes is just icing on the haunted chocolate cake.
I’d be shocked if Stardew didn’t net him $100 million, it’s sold more than 30 million copies.
But someone might beat them to market with a game called “Swamped Confectioner”
Yahtzee Croshaw is almost finished with Starstruck Vagabond, which is supposed to be Stardew Valley on a spaceship. That being said, Yahtzee has already said he will won’t be doing continual updates like Concerned Ape. He’s only going to do bug fixes so he can move on to other games he wants to make
I didn’t realize he made games. I used to like his reviews. Are his games good?
Most of his games are experimental. He did a video series where he made 1 game per month for an entire year back when he still worked for The Escapist. I haven’t played any of them, but from his videos they were all interesting ideas at least. I think those are still available on itch.io.
He also has a satirical game called Hatfall, which was mainly to poke fun at how many games have “fall” on the title. This one can be found on Steam if you’re curious. My guess is that that’s his actual preference for games. He’s written a few books and they were all satirical comedies too.
Goddamn it, I came to post the exact same thing
It will come out chocolater.
