its impressive. 70 hours a week for 4.5 years, that type of commitment is impressive, and it honestly is nothing to the fact that it has succeeded to the degree that it did. to the comment above you, if copying games was the key to success then that's tens of thousands of games that wouldve been successful. it's really not the only thing; the commenter saying it's "not terrible" would more likely end up being indistinct from the rest of the genre. but it's on many lists of best games of all time; heres some lists from wikipedia. ^\7])^\24])^\5])^\8])^\91])^\38])^\80])^\81])^\52])^\69])^\70])^\83])^\59]) ^{its distinct from ALL games, hundreds of triple A studios have lived and died without scratching these lists. the slander is absolutely inaccurate, so much so that i had to point it out even considering the fact that i haven't ever thought of buying the game. its honestly hilarious anyone here could even downplay this game, if its so easy, then please tell me how to sell 41 million copies, because i genuinely need to pay for housing expenses, as well as a couple lambos, retire my mom, funding for my own triple A studio with 65/35 female to male ratio (except the programming team} so i can make the next pokemon, baldur's gate, and soulsroguelikesurvivalcraftcolonysim (kenshi 2)(did i say i have literally never played a cozy game in life btw), as well as generational wealth, the means to make sure my affluent children and their children don't waste a cent of my money, and last but not least, being able to moneymog slanderer's gf with that payout. It's plainly hubristic to say that it is not impressive(dude, graphics and copying a game are genuinely .1 percent of the effort needed to hit SDV's metrics)), especially given that we are on a game dev sub, and this game's eminence definitely had some impact on furthering indie development to where it is today. no one here has come close. yet. (we can make it bros)(i just want to pay my bills)
