Indie games in the future? 2015-10-06 13:46:22


I was thinking. A lot of the indie games on the net, despite having a majority audience of young kids, are classic style games. Indie devs tend to make more retro games like the ones they played as kids. Do you think in the future indie devs will be making games like Call of Duty or Mine craft in reference to their childhood games?

They'd probably make a homage to psx graphics.

A lot of indie games just use pixel graphics because they're easy to make, only a few devs can truly say it's something from their childhood.

So how complicated is the programming in indie games exactly ?

I agree with this wholeheartedly. There are some games I would be interested in making that would only work in a 3D environment, but I would prefer most of my games not look any more complicated than they have to, partially because lightweight games are painless to download and run and partially because they are that much easier. Titles like Corpse Party do just fine without being at all inhibited by their roots on a primitive platform.

I do love me some PSX graphics though.

Probably something along the lines of Starfox, Virtua Racing/Figher and Super Mario 64.

Because after vectors (early arcade) and pixels comes polygons.

I wanna play an indie made in the same style as the PS1 Crash games.
