Started Playing it today – it’s a game that’s been in development from 1992 (34 years!) mainly by one person.

I’ve had this on my “radar” for a good while, because it’s pretty much the kind of game I’d like to do too, but I didn’t want to play it for the same reason.

It’s because I didn’t want to be disillusioned by how fun/unfun it is to actually play a hardcore/simulation game.

Turns out I got hooked pretty badly and pretty easily.

I love the slow progress, the discovery the unknown. The mood. The amount of satisfaction it gives to get something right ( eg. hunt an elk )
