Message: [QUOTE="Sunnyside, post: 257100, member: 499296"] The indie scene has ruined rogue-likes and metroidvanias for me. Kinda like AAA studios ruined open world. I groan whenever I see these in the description of a promising title. Everybody jumped on the bandwagon and at this point the horse has been beaten to death 100 times over. Recently I've come to despise the word "cozy" for similar reasons. ::angrygenjin [automerge]1751922558[/automerge] Facts. Corporate ruins everything. Eventually the indie scene will need its own indie scene. ::dkfacepalm That being said it's nothing to lament too hard about. It'll take a bit to shove past the highly advertised "indie" stuff but somebody somewhere will always be making something. Just have to dig a bit. Kinda like the old days when indie games had little exposure. It's all a cycle. A niche interest gets popular, investors latch on, they run it to the ground for the sake of money, and the creatives find another outlet. [/QUOTE]
