The fact that a single dev used to be able to complete an entire game really makes me wish I had come of age back in the day when that was possible. I feel like you can only approach something similar with pico-8 or another fantasy console these days.
But it still is! None of the technology that made these games possible has disappeared; quite the opposite, as you already mention (with Pico-8 etc.)
Wasn't Hollow Knight put together with a really tiny team?
