The thing with a lot of indie devs is - they always go for their dream game first. Huge, massive projects; and then they get burnt out, and abandon it. An example of the opposite, however, is Toby Fox. Deltarune was his big dream project - but he set that aside, and made Undertale first, to practice and get used to everything. And then, when he had the money, the following, and the skill, he set out to make what he dreamed of. It also showcases just how… unhinged some devs are, but in the best way possible.

On the thing about "are open-world survival zombie games dead?" - Yeah, basically. There's only so much you can do with such a constrained genre, and it's rare that there's a developer who will make something worthwhile, something more than cheap shovelware. Although, games like Project Zomboid and The Forest prove that there's still hope for the future. Having been playing the latter of those two recently, I can say that it's a really engaging experience, despite it being outright unfinished. The open-world looks great and is fun to explore, and the semi-realistic survival mechanics have some life to them beyond just resource collection, but the real highlight is the enemies. I won't go into huge amounts of depth, but it makes a massive difference to have an intelligent foe that doesn't just automatically aggro on seeing the player, instead being cautious and applying strategies to overwhelm the player. The game incentivises you to be stealthy, especially when night falls and your only advantage - being able to see enemies first - is taken away from you.

"Why in videogames can you not make characters fatter than 1 cm thin" How would hitboxes on that character work? Would the hitbox stay the same or get larger? If it does then why would you willingly have a larger hitbox? If it doesn't then what about if your game is multiplayer? A fat character having the same hitbox as a thin character would throw off other players. It's a lot of stuff to think about just to make a character fat.
