A little while back I talked about this idea of "genre collapse", but I don't think I talked about how Tyrants Must Fall was designed with that in mind.
I love #turnbased tactics, but lots of other people don't! And I know lots of people are turned off by the idea of how *complicated* it can be.
Playing Civ VII after the new update has me thinking a lot about something I'm going to call "genre collapse" (though I'm sure there is a better term for it). Basically, the idea that in smaller genres especially, there is a long-term problem in drawing new players. 1/

Some visual overhauls today, as well as a big gameplay overhaul. Restructured the Path of Destiny to some more interesting choices to the player as they improve Jairm along his journey to topple the Tyrant King, as well as laying the groundwork for some future surprises... #indiegame#indiedev#tmf

So yesterday was the 2-year anniversary of when I walked away from my 20+ year career and set off to become a full-time #indiedev#solodev. This was, by most normal evaluations, an insane thing to do! But at this 2-year mark, I thought I'd look back at how it's gone so far.
