that must be why it's so popular
yeah, that's actually a good part of it. who you are and how you do things do matter a lot even if i doubt it sometimes seeing what apple and other are doing without going bankrupt and somehow making a shitload of money still. good thing the other dev turned bad quickly, would have been bad if they had time to get many simps that would support them no matter what.
this dev on the other hand, the games itself is good enough for what's basically still a demo, looks good and he's doing things right. can't say for sure if he's a good guy himself (it's not like i'm his friend in real life so i can't actually know haha) but so far he's given absolutely no reason to think he's bad, he's been nice in public, nothing controversial either.
all that plus some other stuff, everything adds up, to me it's not wonder this is game is already liked so much. makes me think of amazoness king, he's such a nice guy that i really haven't seen much complain if any from him taking on too many project at once, heck, most are super excited and no one really complain about how much time it might/does take to do updates. i think it's similar here, except i believe he interact with peoples a little less and updates the game he's working on more often.
i gotta make a list of great devs someday. can easely guess two that would be on the list haha, then moonbox, mity, and nightmirror are obvious picks, spookitty now that he's back in the game and that's about all i can remember from the top of my head haha
thanks for coming to my ted talk!
