Its interesting what some people can get done in 10 years whilst others spend 10 years on a simple sokoban clone

>one shitty french studio using a meme language meaning anything
shoo shoo

>>105980409
If Haxe is a "meme language" what pray tell would you consider Jai?

>>105980437
I'll preface by saying that I never gave a shit about blow or his games and even less about his obsession about writing his own language but I've got more hatred built in by literally ALL the shit releases from shiro games.
Besides you fucking lied and papers please is a burger game and not from shiro, of which the dev switched to unity and C#.

h you're right, my bad. Papers, Please was from 3909 LLC / Lucas Pope and NOT Shiro Games. Neat since this means Haxe has been used for successful game(s) outside of the creator's own companies.

They switched from OpenFL/Haxe to Unity/Haxe in version 1.4.9:

The Witness is one of the best puzzle games of all time and has forever cemented Jon Blow as one of the greats. The only shit I played by the other guy was Dead Cells and, while fun, it was chasing the already stale >muh pixel art Roguelite trend

He has money from his parents.
Also some anon said he's alluded to having some mysterious "benefactor," whom I've surmised is actually Jeff Roberts (RAD).
