Stardew Valley was a 1-person effort (not sure if it still is), and massively successful

As much as I don't want to admit it : flappy bird

Steamdb says

Terraria: 40-100M units sold

Hollow knight: 8-20M for just sold

Rimwirld: 4-9M units sold.

- Minecraft was solo in the early days

- Dwarf Fortress

- Stardew Valley

- going way back, Tetris

Hollow Knight was a two person masterpiece. Or maybe three including the musician?

I think the first Mount & Blade was a 1-2 developer effort.

Minecraft?

Stardew Valley?
