Manor Lords is out today and it's going gangbusters, having now surpassed 150,000 concurrent players on Steam. It's also sitting atop a "very positive" user rating, with 90% of the more than 1,600 user reviews posted so far. That's a pretty good first day, and at this point I'm left with just one burning question: Why the hell is the developer called "Slavic Magic?"
In all honesty it's not really something I've been pondering for any length of time, but it did come up in a recent interview with Unreal. Manor Lords is actually being made by a solo developer, Greg Styczeń (with some outsourced work enabled by his Patreon and an Epic MegaGrant), but a cool studio name looks good in press releases.
