alt Hacker News> Our game, Celeste
I was really enjoying reading this piece until I read the above, then I realized I am reading for a big developer, the maker of, Celeste [1]. I am definitely adding this to my list of favorite articles about making games.

Better link to Itch (<https://maddymakesgamesinc.itch.io/celeste>) than Steam, Itch by default only takes a 10% cut instead of 30%.
I thought Celeste was a solo project of Maddy Thorson [0] before reading this piece.

Fans of Celeste will almost certainly enjoy the local multiplayer game Towerfall by the same developers.
Just want to +1 this. It is a game so good I bought (and beat) it twice, once on Switch and once on Steam.
I also reached the same conclusion, it feels wholesome
But Celeste came out in 2018. How is it relevant to 2025 as suggested in the title?
Also, pretty sure it was a small indie team rather than a “big developer”
