    That principle is a big reason my own game exists. I loved Spelunky and Crypt of the Necrodancer, but saw the fast paced precision was a big barrier to entry. So I made a "turn based Spelunky", Dig Dig Boom: store.steampowered.com/app/2026040/...

    Seems like a good time for a new intro post. Hii (•ᴗ•)╯ I'm an artist and indie game dev. I worked on Cadence of Hyrule, Crypt of the NecroDancer + Amplified, and I made a cozy simulation game called Pixel Fireplace. Working on a new game, and looking forward to sharing more when I can! #gamedev

    If gaming is becoming "unaffordable", it might be time to start looking into independently-developed games. Sometimes you'll get a 500-hour experience for $15, like me with Crypt of the NecroDancer! Instead of one $80 game, you can buy like 3-5 indie games probably!

Spelunky 1 and Crypt of the Necrodancer are some of the best game experiences I've had but because life is brutal and provides all difficulty I'm after, I'm not looking for difficulty in games, and a long string of roguelikes that were just too hard, I lost interest in the genre
