ZACH-LIKE is a book of behind-the-scenes design documents from Zachtronics. The digital version of ZACH-LIKE contains the full contents of the book, a bunch of terrible games that Zach made before SpaceChem, and some prototypes and early builds of Zachtronics games, both released and... not.

[h1] Competent Misconceptions [/h1] It's wild to me that, I passed by this project so many times, thinking it was "narcissistic." Just by the looks of it. Only to find out that, no, in fact, Zachtronics has been a weirdly Giga Chad in the indie game world. Just pumping out games since... High-school? This is an electronic catalog copy of a physical book that was printed and distributed MORE THAN ONCE. That's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ wild to me. And to be fair, I understand now, I've played 3-4 independent games and then the collection in here. Some of these games have rudimentary online capabilities. Right out of Post-grad. Like I'm not just impressed, I'm an Athiest turned believer when it comes to Zach-likes and their weird self-awareness. "Terrible games that Zach made before SpaceChem." It's weird, but the reoccurring theme with Zach-likes is that Software engineers seem to love them. Anywhere I go, reviews on Reddit, Steam, Tumblr, wherever it is, it's usually outspoken by software engineers. As if the marketplace for Zach-likes are targeted to other game developers, for inspiration, or relaxation. Cheers Zach, you're a champ.
