Balatro, a hit game of 2024, has surpassed 5 million copies sold, as discussed by lead developer LocalThunk. While enjoying this success, he acknowledges the stress it brings, emphasizing a fulfilling commitment to his work. He hints at an upcoming 1.1 update that will introduce new features but remains vague to allow flexibility in development. LocalThunk reflects on his current focus, stating he feels no urgency to pursue new game projects, preferring to dedicate his energy responsibly to Balatro instead.
It's been a lot of stress, but very fulfilling, being able to walk on something that I love all day, every day, as long as I want.
I'm not going to get into exactly what's going to be in it, because that also means I can't pivot if something new doesn't work.
I get obsessed with something for a long time, I don't have any imminent game ideas I want to make.
I'm just trying to be responsible right now with anything. I still have a job to do.
