Sektori, a game released in 2025, has achieved a 97% positive rating on Steam and features Geometry Wars-inspired roguelike mechanics. Developer Kimmo Lahtinen noted the game's unexpected success among a niche audience and highlighted the challenges of achieving commercial success in a competitive market. He observed a disconnect between lengthy game development cycles and the short attention spans of modern users, leading to a trend of quicker, smaller projects. Lahtinen humorously pointed out that the majority of Sektori's players are older gamers, indicating a generational divide in gaming preferences. The game's design philosophy intentionally limits explanations of mechanics to encourage player exploration, although some players expressed a desire for more clarity. Lahtinen is currently working on a patch to address minor issues, including a difficulty spike during the first boss battle.

The game's lead developer, Collins-Laflamme, received permission from Technoblade's father to create a meaningful tribute and is inviting community suggestions.

Community responses have been positive, with ideas such as a Technoblade constellation and a unique sword. Additionally, Hytale's developers are setting the game's price at an "aggressively low" level, citing a commitment to quality.
