Palworld dev hopes to “help more indie devs” after the survival game’s runaway success: “We were in the same position only a year ago until Palworld changed our lives”

A Palworld developer says that speaking to indie devs has made him want to do more to help smaller teams, since his own game was “in the same position” until its breakout success.

In a blog documenting their experiences at Gamescom, Palworld community manager John Buckley noted that “I spoke with a lot of indie devs this year and got to hear about their struggles and worries.” The extent of the difficulties faced by developers at studios of all sizes is not a new phenomenon, but Buckley pointed out that Palworld developer Pocketpair has been fortunate enough to future-proof itself.
