Indie games use the same tired old tropes endlessly. I can't even differentiate half the side scroller games people make anymore. There's even a indie game on gamepass that almost completely rips off nuclear throne but makes it a half-assed ARPG.The cool looking games always end up just being experimental projects that never turn into games either.Another problem is the games usually don't have a "vision". They don't feel like there is passion behind them, it feels like they create the game mechanics first out of an experimental stage and then they have to be assed to create a world and levels behind it. Every indie game ends up being completely unmemorable and soulless compared to their retro counterparts for this reason.Devs need to learn how make games from the ground up with every aspect already down on paper, with a cohesion between all aspects of the game to form a "whole". Instead I feel like im just playing someones hobby project that they fucked around with until they got it working.

>>695024683One anon said this one time and I think it nails it: older devs made games inspired by their childhood, newer devs make games inspired by the games they played during their childhood. In a lot of indie games you can spot their inspirations miles away and unique gameplay and style is very hard to find

>>695024683>famous redditor dev Eric BaroneLet's be real honest here: Eric Barone is a talentless nepobaby who's propped up by media outlets and Microsoft, he's the equivalent of an industry plant in music or Elon Musk in tech.Is it fine to be an Elon Musk fanboy? Is it fine to be a Kpop stan? Maybe, but you shouldn't piss your pants when you're reminded of what those people are in a thread for hobbyists, you have to remember that this thread is about creating SOVL, not industry behemoths making slop.I would not take any kind of advice from a nepobaby like that who doesn't know or understand how indie gamedev works, especially in 2024.
how do you feel about this style?

>I played one indie game and think all of them are the sameYeah yeah, go file your unique opinion in the textbook /v/ shitpost category

>>695024683>Indie shitter is actually an autistic programmer with no life experience looking for a job>They follow the "Just good enough, just publish your work" philosophy>These always end up in shitty uninspired game clones with tranny depression allegoriesWhoah, who'da thunk it? It's almost like you'd have to actually give a fuck in the first place to make a good game, and the people who do give a fuck end up specializing in their own fields instead of wasting their lives in 4 hard skillsets.
