It got some attention when the trailer first came out, but nobody's really talked about it since because there haven't (to my knowledge) been any updates.

Looks great. It's honestly mind boggling how a single dev can churn out games better than certain AAA dev companies can

Honestly, it's not that surprising. It's impressive that they can handle all of the different aspects solo, but fundamentally, making a good game has very little to do with budget and everything to do with having good ideas and the competency to assemble those ideas into a game. Larger budgets make it easier to find those ideas and talents, since having a larger team increases the chance of finding them and lets you assign people to different tasks based on what they're good at, but you also run into the need to resolve conflicting opinions and trash some ideas because the game needs to be more popular in order to turn a profit. Get into the AAA space, and you've got shareholders demanding ridiculous RoI's on every game you produce, which just makes that even worse.

Basically, there's a reason the indie game market has grown so fast: People like games that were made by people who like games instead of by giant corporations that are looking to milk games for every cent they can.
