Smash hit indie game Balatro was developed by just a single person who is known as LocalThunk. He chatted away with Bloomberg's gaming journalist Jason Schreier about the game's success and what's next for him. He says he says that he "gets obsessed with something for a long time" and honestly doesn't have any intention right now of developing another game as he is happy to just keep creating content for Balatro.

"I get obsessed with something for a long time," he said. "I don't have any imminent game ideas I want to make. I have thought of other game ideas in the past, but every time my mind goes down that road, I immediately think, 'You can't do that right now, you're in the middle of something else,' which I think has served me very well."

The results speak for themselves. "I know I'm lucky in that regard," LocalThunk said.
