Now, Roblox has said its community developers are on track to earn $100m (£82.9m) in 2019. And there's more to come.

It's four in the morning on 18th February 2017, and a 19-year-old modder and writer named Spencer Yan is sitting in his college dorm at his computer, with a server full of Discord users eager for him to drop the latest update for Midnight Animal, a total conversion mod and original story built upon the bloodstained, bullet-riddled blueprints of Hotline Miami.

Lightning-fast action, a "shared and persistent" open world, exciting tech and thousands of players. These were the things promised by Lazarus, an ambitious MMO shooter by indie developer Spilt Milk Studios - and a finished project we'll unfortunately never see.

I promise you I have tried very hard to find something deeper, beneath the surface of Age of Wonders: Planetfall, that shows its true brilliance. I really have. It screams "hidden gem", on the face of it: a generous glob of SyFy channel space-cheese, spread over a rich and hearty mix of genres. Civilization by way of XCOM, in the ideal setting. Perfect.
