Uh oh, the back-of-the-napkin math says I'm one of the ~1000 folks addicted enough to Blue Prince to earn this trophy.

Why Animal Well's home-brewed engine was key to its success How an off-hours project, a rising YouTuber, and a unique Discord-driven release strategy came together for a game-of-the-year candidate.

Great article by @samred.com on @animalwell.bsky.social in @gamedeveloper.bsky.social. Covers dev process, publisher relationships, and a veeerry interesting pre-release window for critics.

Thank you so much for this review, it's so good! You called out wanting a zen version of Speed without time limits. If you turn on the "No Timers" setting, Speed turns into just that!
