Don't know if you know #Islanders. It's a gorgeous little puzzle game where the pieces are city buildings and decorations. Looks like a city builder, but the simulation is completely abstracted away to points. Made by the same folks behind Superflight and Thronefall.
They handed the IP off to another team, and yeah. I like Islanders: New Shores. $5 on Steam right now.

@structuregeek For a while there the connections were not obvious. I don't think Steam's "Grizzly Games" entry was hooked up to the later works. Glad they are now, because Internet sleuthing is a lot harder than even a year ago.
But yeah the primary dev excels at "this game is about one thing." He's also very smart about working with people who have a keen eye for visual design.
Oh hey and here's another piece for you
This channel documents my full time indie dev journey, all the way from its beginning in 2018. I make a mixture of educational and entertaining game dev content. Commercial indie games I released so far since starting this YT channel: - ISLANDERS (as part of Grizzly Games) - Will You Snail? (Solo project) - Thronefall (Grizzly Games) I'd be honored if you decide to stick around to see where the journey goes.
