Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles.

The solo developer of city-builder Bulwark Evolution: Falconeer Chronicles, Tomas Sala, has been speaking out about the current state of the games industry, arguing that indie devs like him are "earning half of what we were earning four years ago" in the current climate.

He continues: "They're taking half the money, together with old games, so publishers with back catalogs will also survive."
