Freedom Planet's Development: From Sonic Fan Game to Cult Classic | The Art of...Success?

Freedom Planet is a video game created by GalaxyTrail that was funded on Kickstarter in 2013 and originally released in 2014. Despite those behind it having little experience with the video game industry, the game managed to go on to be a cult classic and even has a sequel in the works. Through research, interviews, and analysis, we've got the full story of Freedom Planet's Development: From Sonic Fan Game to Cult Classic. This isn't so much an "Art of Failure" episode (though stylistically and thematically it's similar, hence why it's included in that series) so I guess it's more of The Art of...Success?
