To make Anarch no advanced [bullshit](bullshit.md) was used such as multiple monitors, [IDE](ide.md)s, [UML](uml.md), workstations, graphic tablets, programming socks, budget, expensive chairs and so on. It was made mostly with one old laptop, one old desktop computer and only basic [free software](free_software.md) such as [vim](vim.md), [GIMP](gimp.md) and so on.

The 1.0 version was released on 1st December 2020, it was officially in the making since September 25 2019 (first commit in the repo), but we may also see the inception of the game to be the start of [raycastlib](raycastlib.md) development in 2018.

{ Someone told me the game even briefly appeared on TV: some Croatian TV station covered the country's startup (I reckon it was Circuitmess) which creates [open consoles](open_console.md), and they showed one of them running Anarch. Pretty cool. ~drummyfish }

{ **MINI DRAMA SECTION**: I want to apologize here for mentioning that I found the game selling on Switch store and assuming it was a cash grab scam, I actually got an email from the developer and got a very nice donation. Thank you <3 EDIT2: **I am an idiot.** I probably fucked up the previous statement too as I got an email from a friend who asked me if this is a sell out, and I now absolutely see it looks that way, so please let me clarify this: I do not approve of proprietary software or selling software for money, I also hate Nintendo Switch etc., hopefully that's clear. What happened was that the developer emailed me beforehand asking if he could make the port, if I wanted to be credited and if I would accept a donation, and this alone is very nice of him (despite me still holding my beliefs about selling software etc.) because it's pretty clear he can make the port without asking me or paying me anything. I responded he can of course make the port and that donations and credit are always optional and there is not even any moral pressure to make them (i.e. not only I don't require them, I don't even expect them), i.e. basically what I state on my website. He then made the port and sent me a nice donation (which may be even more than what the port will make, i.e. it's clearly not a blatant cash grab), but later on someone sent me a link to the port on Switch store and of course like a dumbass I am I FORGOT about the email (one of very many I get) and so I assumed it was some kinda "scam" (which would still be legally fine of course) and made a comment about it in some places, and this was a BIG FUCKUP by me because I gave the guy a thumbs up and then behaved as if I didn't, and this I am very deeply sorry for. I.e. this wasn't me suddenly approving of a commercial port or changing my opinions upon receiving money, it was just me accidentally behaving like a dick, which is what I want to apologize for. ~drummyfish }

## Sales And Reception
|
||||
|
||||
The game was met with overwhelmingly mixed reception with professional Internet forum posters mostly judging it [shit](shit.md), some however still appreciated it especially for its superiority over every other game. On Metacritic the game didn't achieve any score but someone made a [Wikidata](wikidata.md) item for it. During the first 5 years the game's grand total sales through itch.io's pay what you want system reached nearly $35 (before tax).
