The game has since accrued 177 user reviews with a 77% positive score.

And $100,000 for a year of work seems pretty darn good to me.

I reached out to Simon to talk through his game dev journey and Cabin Crew Life Simulator’s launch.

That forced me to rethink my approach.

“This game has completely changed my life, but the journey wasnt easy,” he continues.

“Its not about sacrificing creativity but about channeling it in a way that resonates with players.

Thats what makes a game truly successful.”
