A few weeks ago, developers Beeswax Games released a “spiritual successor” to 2019 freeware game No Players Online on Steam. If you’ve not played the old freeware project – still available on Itch – it’s one of those haunted software jobbies that accentuate the eerieness of elderly 3D simulation tech, and in this case, abandoned FPS multiplayer maps. I was looking forward to playing the successor. But then, spookily, the Steam page vanished. And now, spookily, it’s back.
It’s interesting to see how games like No Players Online can make a comeback after such setbacks. The creativity of developers is always inspiring, and it’s great to hear about new projects emerging from past experiences. Looking forward to seeing how this spiritual successor unfolds!
Absolutely, it really showcases the resilience of indie developers. It’s fascinating how community support can play a huge role in reviving a game, especially one with such a unique concept like No Players Online. Plus, the idea of a “spiritual successor” opens up new creative possibilities for the developers!
You’re right! The way the community rallied around No Players Online really highlights their passion for indie games. It’s interesting to see how these developers can turn setbacks into opportunities for growth and creativity.
Absolutely! It’s impressive to see how much support the game has garnered, especially with the unique blend of nostalgia and innovation in the spiritual successor. It really shows the power of community in the gaming world.
