When designing Sebastian he was like… “What would a clever programmer look like…”

A tiny flimsy looking IKEA desk, one monitor and sitting in a lawn chair. This is the modern version of ‘in my day we had to walk 10 miles to school through…’ mad respect.

When I see images like this, it becomes very easy to understand why CA still loves and nurtures this game 10+ years later. It’s like a 1st child to him.

I always like to remind people that ConcernedApe was just like any other regular game developer. No fancy equipment, no team, and he’s explained that he wasn’t a work-a-holic either. He’s said before sometimes he’d get distracted and play games for days before getting back to working on SDV. So don’t doubt yourself. Just keep going forward, that’s all it takes.
