"Save the Lemmings and... break the wall"???

I'd also be depressed if I spent the last decade chucking out remakes of remakes that seem to usually only get worse with each iteration, but he's only got himself to blame for that.I think he's depressed.
Even when you account for all of this, there's still not as many good 2021 games as Amiga had in 1991. This is despite there being about 30-50x more games released overall.Also, the context is really different. Loop Hero emulated the Amiga aesthetic, if had been released in 1991 for sure it would be on everyone's "Best Amiga games" list. In 2021, might not even make it into the Top 10 of the year.
Same for something like Pathfinder, Solasta or ATOM. Tech aside, if these games had come out in the 2000s, they would easily have been celebrated classics. The bar is much higher for the games that come later, especially when there's a lot of competition.
What he plans is queen wish with a bit more options if you read the kickstarter news , oh nothing wild dont worry , it's good ol'jeff, burned out and risk averse.I haven't looked at spiderweb forums or Jeff's blog so I have no clue what he plans if anything.
Who knows maybe he will make a good game after a terribad start at making a new universe like he did with Avadon 2 coming off the bland Avadon 1.What he plans is queen wish with a bit more options if you read the kickstarter news , oh nothing wild dont worry , it's good ol'jeff, burned out and risk averse.
It will be good enough and entertaining, but it wil never be deeper than his first games.No evolution that way ever.Who knows maybe he will make a good game after a terribad start at making a new universe like he did with Avadon 2 coming off the bland Avadon 1.What he plans is queen wish with a bit more options if you read the kickstarter news , oh nothing wild dont worry , it's good ol'jeff, burned out and risk averse.
Jarl, it is called "age". Nothing more, nothing less. The pre-final boss of everything and everyone.I'd also be depressed if I spent the last decade chucking out remakes of remakes that seem to usually only get worse with each iteration, but he's only got himself to blame for that.I think he's depressed.
He has become so risk-averse that he doesn't even try making something original at this point, he only relies on remakes and his new games are formulaic paint-by-numbers affairs that are a mere shadow of his earlier works.
I wager he doesn't get to do much fun stuff in his free time, either, but sticks with safe activities that don't pose any risk to his health and don't cost too much money to do.
He seems to have fallen into the trap of valuing safety and stability above everything else to the point that there's nothing exciting left in his life.
Reminder that Vogel is younger than Crispy, he's just been doing the old man routine since his early 20s.Jarl, it is called "age". Nothing more, nothing less. The pre-final boss of everything and everyone.
ITT Jeff Vogel tells them kids to GET OFF HIS LAWN.
His problem is only old fucks play his games these days, no kid is interested to be on his lawn
I wonder how long he will be working - maybe until he's actually 60?
Although he's critized widely on the codex as a developer without flashy graphics he always gave me hope! Still impressed how long his studio has been going.
So.... if codex opinion is anything to go by, he'll be working for a while.
Dude was probably 22-25 when he started it. So he's probably around 50-53.

Didn't he say that Queen's Wish will be his last Original series?
