This one was really fun to make. Thank you to Josef for taking the time to share personal feelings on the game’s themes and symbolism. And thanks to the Post Void Discord group for helping with graphical assets. It really helped. You guys rock!

I loved Post Void, I had no idea the creators had made other games though - I'll definitely have to check them out!

POST VOID would had benefitted a lot considering it's themes of being constantly interrupted in life by making it clear that you are working full-time job for a dystopian corporation that wants you to kill disobiedent citizens as a super soldier. You can complete it in under 10 minutes and lose all progress once that happens in true roguelike fashion... but what if it was roguelite? Those genres exist as a response for limited amount of level layouts in video games but roguelike has a major weakness of deleting all progress and stats, at best saving them as a score report of sort but it can't be accessed anymore. In general, I noticed that all video games that sell the best have at least one of the following traits: * They make playing as criminal with pseudo-realistic mechanics super fun, which is GTA 5 and RDR 2. * They let players express themselves creatively and construct their own custom stuff as a game mechanic, which is Minecraft, Factorio and GMod. * They give you a vibe of full time job and working not to starve, which is Papers Please and Lethal Company, the former has endless mode. POST VOID could belong here. * They are an ultra fast dopamine abuser, enough said. POST VOID could belong here but it abuses senses even more. * They let you feel more or less realistically as real life soldier, which is ARMA series, CoD series and stuff like World of Tanks. Only if your audience is very male dominated. * If your target audience is female (which is most likely not) and you have a lot of budget, it's either going to be Match-3 or farming simulator game. Keep in mind that Stardev Valley didn't have considerable budget but broke through anyway for being a quality homage to a classic Harvest Moon series. * Now that we are on paying homages, if a famous video game series no longer gets new quality entries or no entries at all, you can make a homage to it that outright surpasses it, which is what Pizza Tower did to Wario Land.
