REVEALED: Landfall | Vintage Vibes

Peak co-dev says games like its iconic friendslop hit "wouldn't exist" if the studio tried to turn everything it makes "into the next Fortnite" with endless content updates

But, "no, we do not think that people playing our games are 'ungrateful'" to want more

GamesRadar

The devs behind Peak and Content Warning made a publisher to support their games and other indie developers: 'We help them with money and advice'

It's called Evil Landfall because paperwork is evil.

PC Gamer

Peak co-dev turned indie investor says "too many developers develop their game secretly for several years," and it's putting its friendslop fortune into helping devs find a better way

"If you're not finding the core of the game in a few months, don't sink five, six years into this. Don't put your life savings into it."
