... that the developer of The Stillness of the Wind was inspired to make the video game after fantasizing with his girlfriend about raising goats instead of living in London? Source: "The seed for the original game was inspired by the fact that my girlfriend and I were getting tired of life in the city (we were both living in London and working in Architecture practices at the time) and we’d fantasize about leaving London and our jobs to live out in the country somewhere on a little homestead and raise goats." ([1])
- ALT1:... that the exhausted developer of The Stillness of the Wind took six months off before coming back to game development after finishing the game? Source: "I was so tired after Stillness I needed to take about 6 months off without thinking about game dev. Then I pursued some freelance opportunities and took part in some game jams." ([2])
