Jeez, how does a sim game like this take over a decade in dev?
Feature creep + seeking perfection + profitability of the project + passion.
For further clarification, see: Project Zomboid and Exanima.
I doubt this is anyone’s full time project.
There's always Inn Keeper, which just got out of Early Access.
Is every game just a Synty low poly asset flip theses days? Somebody needs to start using something different soon, cos everything's starting to look the same. It's just so obvious too! One of the clips on that Steam page is literally a bunch of them just rotating in T pose 🤣
I also dislike the use of Synty packs (I am surprised they haven't added more variations), but I don't think Tavern Keeper uses Synty.
Props for clearly labeling the cinematic trailer and saying that it's different from gameplay footage
I played Game Dev Tycoon (2013) from the same people and it was really good, I'm definitely going to try this one out
I played some of the demo, it was nice! I'll keep an eye on it.
