More than 11,000 games have been released on Steam so far this year, and for the developer behind idle Stardew Valley-like Rusty's Retirement, the reception to his game is a major lifetime milestone.
Rusty's Retirement is an idle farming sim that plays out at the bottom (or side) of your monitor, allowing you to make use of various farming robots to plant, water, and harvest your crops. It's adorable, even if I did try to turn it into a Palworld-inspired mecha-hellscape one time. It's also been a runaway success for its solo developer, Jordan Morris, who noted that its 200,000 sales in just its first couple of weeks was "life-changing."
