This was an interesting one, I played a lot of game dev tycoon so right off the bat I like the games premise, the graphics are all perfectly amateur or cursed courtesy of the AI, and of course the soundtrack!
The meta aspect of it is really cool from a technical perspective! Though admittedly the documentation started to give me a headache, not because it involved reading, but because it gave me flashbacks to some really annoying experiences from work and university.
It feels like a perfect in-joke for people involved in more technical aspects of development, but I think I see now why some people got spooked off by it.
Which is a shame, because the game itself is really neat! Being able to modify all the values and name your company and game was fun. I made sure those 40 developers getting paid $1/hour were putting their heart and soul into Shattered!
I think the only thing I would've preferred changed is if instead of just clicking on the keyboard you could just literally mash on the keyboard to increase productivity.
Overall though I liked it!
