After making super meat boy, edmund mcmillian went "dang i wanna make something rough, unpolished, and purposefully offputting that'll piss everyone off and put some edges back into my work after the last game was such a standard success"

instead, he made the most influential roguelike ever. i can and will argue this, for better and worse, TBOI i's maybe the most important indie game of the 21st century.
