Isn't Monument Valley a spiritual successor to fez?

Kind of? From what I know about Fez (I think it's in my library but I've never played it), it doesn't play with perspective and non-euclidian geometry the way MV1 and 2 do.

There are mysteries in the game still unsolved, which is crazy to me.

The fact that there's no Too Human 2 or any spiritual successor just shows how talented Denis Dyack was. Despite the drama, no one can make a Too Human game as good as he can. No one attempted to make a similar game.

During the episode, Beer touched on the media's recent efforts to reach out to indie developers during the Xbox One's reversal on indie self-publishing particularly Jonathan Blow and Fish, who "decided to go bananas and bitch and moan" about press questions.

"Gents," Beer said. "You were the guys who did Indie Game: the Movie. And some of you looked relatively normal in it, one of you looked like a total tosspot in it. But you can't have it both ways. You're successful game designers you're 'indie' game designers hurrah, good for you, you fucking hipsters."

Fish responded harshly in turn, later tweeting "I fucking hate this industry" for the negativity and criticism it's brought. The back and forth ended with Fish tweeting, "I'm done. Fez 2 is canceled. Goodbye."

"Fez 2 is cancelled. I am done. I take the money and I run. This is as much as I can stomach. This isn't the result of any one thing, but the end of a long, bloody campaign. You win."

Well that's not much of a feat imo when you load it with a bunch of obscure treasure hunt shit. I liked the first half of the game where it was some decent, self-contained and logically approachable puzzles, but then the second half they just totally had their heads up their asses.

It's still logical, it's just a meta beyond typical observational platforming. Designed with a community approach in mind.

Thats so sad. Fez had the graphics and music which made me trip out. One of the most laid back soundtracks in gaming

The fact that there's no Buck Bumble 2 or any spiritual successor just shows how talented Simon Keating was. Despite the drama, no one can make a Buck Bumble game as good as he can. No one attempted to make a similar game.
