But someone might beat them to market with a game called “Swamped Confectioner”
Yahtzee Croshaw is almost finished with Starstruck Vagabond, which is supposed to be Stardew Valley on a spaceship. That being said, Yahtzee has already said he will won't be doing continual updates like Concerned Ape. He's only going to do bug fixes so he can move on to other games he wants to make
I didn’t realize he made games. I used to like his reviews. Are his games good?
Most of his games are experimental. He did a video series where he made 1 game per month for an entire year back when he still worked for The Escapist. I haven't played any of them, but from his videos they were all interesting ideas at least. I think those are still available on itch.io.
He also has a satirical game called Hatfall, which was mainly to poke fun at how many games have "fall" on the title. This one can be found on Steam if you're curious. My guess is that that's his actual preference for games. He's written a few books and they were all satirical comedies too.
He use to make point and click adventures! And newer ones, but I don't know those.
The point and click adventurers were...okay. I personally found them to fall into a lot of the problems those type of games have, which is "I am very bad at reading the mind of the creator to know which object to rub against such object to make things work"
I also didn't really like horror
