At least he’s pretty based for someone in the niche of nerdy ass games. He said BLM during the 2020 protests and during the Palestinian protests in ‘21 he said Free Palestine, that US was backing an apartheid, and gave a bunch of resources to donate to Palestinians. Good guy and you should purchase his game because it’s pretty cool.
based on the peak player count, I'd estimate Tarn and Zach made well over $600k just in sales of Dwarf Fortress today, minus the 30% that steam takes off the top. that's not even counting the itch.io sales. I'm so glad that the passion project has finally paid off for the two of them, they deserve every penny and more, imo.
