This has earned 5+ million and cost a few hundred in assets to make.

Process that, dude. The creator is now a millionaire!

Dude had a brilliant return in investment, I am proud and happy for him!

[Pisaro]

And? Now? Really, some threads are totally weird...

[AleXD]

Personally I don't think he has done enough considering the amount of money he has earned off of this title.

He continues to develop all the major stuff alone (I am aware he has 1 other person)
When he could hire a team to speed up this process considerably, and YES before you start telling me that it's a difficult process hiring, YES I know. But I feel more could still be done.

Or maybe he just doesn't really care THAT much about the game (I am aware he is pushing out updates on the beta branch) and wishes to keep all the money he has earned mostly untouched.

Anyone can make a thread that says "The developer is so rich, they bought a interstellar resort on the moon's surface!" without providing any evidence. ;)

I think he wants it to stay his game. When you hire other people it becomes "our" game and other people get to have their say in the direction of the game. My guess is, he wants it to stay his entirely and not have to answer to anyone else or have to deal with telling enthusiastic people that he doesn't want to implement their ideas because its not his vision for the game. You've already seen all the ideas in this thread that don't fit the game at all.

Don't be ugly jealous, make something unique or find a solution for some kind of a problem that masses are struggling with, and you just might be millionaire too

Not to mention, more devs doesn't mean faster. Bringing in people means they have to learn how the game was written in order to add to or fix stuff which slows the process down.

Bruh, if the title is like $13 as the minimum to regional pricing, and the reviews are like 200k, which do not typically account for a majority of purchases, that's already practically 3 million without considering the sales in which people didn't review. You then factor in Steam commission, taxes, etc, for minor reductions and can at least logically infer *a million* is the /LEAST/ profit. I know he didn't license any exclusive software and assets, production expenses were minimal beside time, but many people invest as much time without such AMAZING returns - dude is not only fortunate, he's a GENIUS to have discovered such a popular formula! Framework for this is robust, too, for expansion as with say, DBD or PUBG.

Most would take such a miracle success to form a long-term studio and have tax rebates for that, but he seems to want to simply relax in his prosperity and take it steady - I respect that.

What's the problem with that~? He's earned it and this is solid as an experience worth the money - the concept alone is brilliant.

Honestly, knowing this guy planned on making the game just as a little passion project and maybe make a little money he's done very well for himself. He's gone on record saying that the game was supposed to be "finished" already, but due to the overwhelming support it's received and the attention it's garnered he's figured the game was worth continuing and he felt he owed it to the people who bought it and promoted it to improve it and make it better. He was also ecstatic that this little project of his caught so much traction.

Not to fellate the guy, but for what the game was and was intended to be it's already leaps and bounds beyond.

I had my fun and money worth - the framework is awesome. Sure, it might lack animations and unique art direction, but mechanics are fun for the time I had - does it matter how the fun is achieved in the details as some kind of judgement? In an economy with so many options and competing choices, he's earned his wealth - entertainment is the most lucrative industry as it's so hard to captivate people successfully.

Much work went into the title. Do you think making updates and working with code doesn't worth any money?
Buying Unity engine license and some assets is just a tip of an iceberg.

It always amazes me that when someone makes something with a lot of heart and soul in it, people are offended that it also makes money. Please grow up.
