Slime Rancher is a work that I have a lot of feelings about. When struggling with my thesis in college, I used to cool off at night by playing Monomi Park’s Life Sim. I vividly remember playing it offline in the university library after I finished my thesis (much to the chagrin of my academic peers). So the thought that this game is doing well and may even attract more. New players makes me smile, just like the little guy in the image above.
