Maia, the indie simulation available via Early Access on Steam is an indie success story, as Develop reports the game has now earned over a million dollars between Kickstarter, Indiegogo, and Early Access. They also report the game's creator Simon Roth is forming a developer called Machine Studios. "The real reason I wanted Machine Studios rather than Simon Roth Incorporated is I thought it would be really narcissistic and weird, for one," Roth explains. "And also, I didn’t want my employees to have to put on their CV 'I worked at Simon Roth,' when it could be Machine Studios. And so it gives them a better thing to say what they worked for."
