He spent years making the single-player MMO he dreamt of for decades – it blew his "expectations and sales goals out of the water," and of course fans added multiplayer to it

Erenshor.

After four years of development and a successful Steam early access launch, Erenshor has grown into a delightfully strange single-player MMO made by one person. That solo developer, Brian "Burgee," says Erenshor's Steam release "blew my expectations and sales goals out of the water," letting him focus more on game dev after dreaming up a game like this for years – or, if you really want to get technical, decades.

Burgee, as he's called online, tells GamesRadar+ that he's started some version of Erenshor "five or six times" through different lenses and game engines over the years. He only really started to put more time and ambition into the project when it started to get some attention online.
