Message: [QUOTE="DragonMals, post: 69194, member: 140055"] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot_20250209_093144_Discord.png"]23345[/ATTACH] Judging by this thread alone , looks like im not "factually wrong" by this statement! Hopefully my opinion doesn't get swatted like what happened after the message posted. What is my opinion about modern indie games? They're great, but they need to come up with more original ideas rather than taking a AAA game and slightly "enhancing it" with changes to make it something else. When someone always talks about this, I always refere to Summitsphere, the producers behind Cruise Elroy's Annalyn (80's Namco game; primarily Mappy and Pac-Man) and Tony Grayson's Anton Series. Before Anton Blast, there was Anton Ball (Mario Bros meets Arkanoid), Punch Ball Anton Ball (same premise snd the same goal as the PC98 Hudson Soft Punch Ball Mario Bros except its Anton) and Antom Ball Deluxe which essentially are the two games combined together. Grayson would eventually make Anton Blast, which is WarioWare, and Crash Bandicoot with other 90s animated shows shoved into the mix. I dont think these games are inherently bad cause they do put a lot of effort into them, but what happened to games like World of Goo, Lost Winds, BIT TRIP, and others??? Those are indie games that are actually different and felt like they were trying to come up with a new idea that other developers didnt hsve on mind. Nowadays, in order to make a quick buck, peoppe would look at Miachief Makers for instance, and wonder how do they make it their own, and create an indie game thats "inspired by it" and bam, make money due to nostalgia and the game essentially being a reboot of a pre existing franchise.
