Solo developer Brian "Burgee" of Burgee Media had made games for years, but only casually, and he still wanted to make one specific game. After several attempts in multiple game engines, his idea finally manifested last year as Erenshor, a single-player RPG that's meant to feel like a classical MMO, complete with simulated players and guilds. A year after Erenshor's Steam early access launch, Burgee tells me the game has done more for his life than he ever expected.
With 1,941 Steam user reviews averaging 94% positive and just over 80,000 copies sold while still in Early Access, Erenshor is a resounding success – the kind of game that can sustain a studio for a while, and especially a one-man operation.
