In earnest, if you have any doubts as to the sincerity of Palworld's developers and just how MUCH they cared about the final release, watch this. The story, to me, as a working artist, is so incredibly inspiring. The game WAS supposed to be a lazy asset flip, a quick cash grab like their last game. One more piece of slop to pay the bills by a small team of disallusioned artists who WANTED to make real games but had been broken down by the industry and accepted mediocrity as their lot in life. Then the trailer went mega viral and they realized this was their chance, maybe their one chance to make a real game. The CEO bet everything on it. "Lose your house and go bankrupt" everything. These people wanted this so badly. They remade the game in an entirely different engine they had no experience in. They barely knew how to do anything that they were doing. They just had to buckle down and figure it out, and they did. That's why Palworld is a good game. The absurdity of its development is unreal. It's crazy people don't know all this stuff. If you think that Palworld is just a lazy cash grab, watch this and see why it explicitly isn't.
