Why are indie games so gay when they don't have to be Where are the unironic high test male indie IPs
>>737936648FO1 had 30 devs. Warcraft 2 had 40.Celeste was made by primarily 2 people. Cult of the Lamb had 3 core, with some contractors. Silksong was, again, 3 people.Retard.

>>737937532And that means they have to be gay, why? Not to mention that a lot of the work those extra employees used to do has been convenienced away into prebuilt engines, market assets, sales platforms, etc, and the fact there's fewer people on the team means they should be able to express their own ideas in a more concentrated way instead of having to dilute their vision over a larger team

>>737937906>>>a guy in his shitty studio apartment and two other retards he corrals onlineAlmost every dev on the right side of the image is a millionaire with access to tools and assets dev back then could only dream of
>>737937848they aren't gay.>b-but they are can't you see this cherry-picked exampleYou could take this thread to bump limit with one example per post and not have even touched 1% of modern indies. You are a faggot looking for /v/ to back up his insecure retard nigger opinion.
>proceeds to be the best video game ever made>completely contradicts Roger Ebert's entire life
>>737937979Both sides of the image show the most popular and best selling IPs of their time, you could cherrypick some obscure indie shit no one's ever heard of that seems high test but that wouldn't mean the most popular indies aren't exclusively gay and furry games
>>737937906>>737937532we should seriously go back to small-sized teams, with funding to make more than some pixelshit, but with executive freedom to not shit out generic turds
>>737937951The only devs on the right side of the image that you're describing are Supergiant, who have been only debatably indie for like ten years straight, and Yacht Club, which was only meaningfully "indie" for the five minutes between splitting off from Wayforward and becoming the exact same type of IP-whoring mongrels.
High IQ and high testosterone.

>>737938143but the graphics are PIXELATED! And there isn't a grizzled muscly man rasterized into my UI somewhere! How can this be for anything but faggots?!
>>737938087Toby Fox is not a millionaire? Team Cherry aren't millionaires?
>>737936648>Where are the unironic high test male indie IPsHigh test gamers tend to go towards the cutting edge of gaming. In 95, this meant Warcraft 2. In current year this means competitive shooter live service slop. This is also why AAA catering to anyone other than male gamers is fucking retarded. The indie market has a more diverse group of gamers in comparison which means you get a lot more gay shit.
>>737938140Sir this is a bait thread, just sage and move on
>>737938192Toby Fox was a millionaire when he was making Undertale?Team Cherry were millionaires when they were making Hollow Knight?Supergiant and Yacht Club were backed by that kind of money before they even started making games, that is an ACTUAL complaint.

>>737938260>>Toby Fox was a millionaire when he was making Undertale?>Team Cherry were millionaires when they were making Hollow Knight?The games in the OP image are Deltarune and Silksong
>>737938273But it's unoriginal and gay shit, I can tell because I think the character designs don't look as good as the ones I absorbed when I was twelve! Surely you must be shilling.
>>737938273And it has to be done by a small featureless creature with no gender that appeases tumblr because..
Lots of angry indiegays ITT
>>737938313I still don't understand how a lone millionaire, or even a handful of millionaires, can be somehow obligated to make something wildly different from the work that made them millionaires in the first place.>but it's not different it's just better! why don't you want to make more games be more realistic and gritty and dark and perfectly in line with my tonal expectations?you have no self awareness.
>>737936648silksong is high test for those with eyes to see
>>737938353Whatever you're describing doesn't sound much like... any game that's been mentioned in this thread. Maybe your mental illness is making it hard for you to clearly see the games you're trying to comment on.
>>737938353Exploration for the sake of exploration is only for men with high IQ and testosterone. You wouldn't understand it. Stay in britbong while we colonise the Americas and make the greatest country that ever existed.
>>737938438Which race and gender is the protagonist in Rain World then
>>737938381Insecure retards who need the games they don't play to be "the gay ones" are the biggest faggots of them all, doubly so when the "gay" games are just the ones without corporate oversight

>>737938502Keep being stuck thinking about genders, race, critical race theory while men with chest hair explore the unknown for the sake of exploration. We climb mountains. You would never do such a thing unless you brought a phone for performative social media reasons. You can't understand it and never will.
>>737938646I wouldn't either. Not sure how that relates to games like Silksong, though.

>>737938737I think you need to work on your literacy ESL
Indie games are gays magnet and this thread is the very proof of that
>>737938765I don't see how that changes the fact you're the one playing a game designed for tumblr while claiming it's somehow high test
>>737938793The claim being made is that the protagonist of rain world is featureless. That specific word was not mine.If you can't see how ridiculous this claim is already then you're a lost cause. Attaching race to it makes it even sillier.
>>737938829I'm not playing a game designed for tumblr. I'm playing indies.>NOOOO THEYRE THE SAME ALL INDIES ARE FOR FAGS BUY THE AAA SLOPGood goyim.
>>737938556>popular>indieThat’s your fucking problem. Stop trend chasing, play some fucking games and dig.
OP doesn't have enough IQ and testosterone to handle a real RTS.
>>737938556>moving the goalpost
>>737937532This. Every game on the left was made by double digit headcount teams under contract from a publisher. Most games on the right were a few dudes taking a plunge into deep waters of independent devving anc self-publishing with zero safety net in case of a failure. And most of them are coincidentally leftists or at least left-leaning.The brutal truth is that chuds don't want to make videogames. You can debate why exactly that is (risk aversion?), but not that this is a thing.
>>737938890The claim being made is that the protagonist of Rain World is somehow high test, when small featureless genderless chungus creatures were basically invented by tumblr in order to not offend any race/gender/sexuality
>>737936648this i assume dionisis with his leopard bulde has more T than this thread. Also Laika: aged through blood is mad max world game, so probably would be up the tastes of left people
>ewww is that game unpopular?>that's so gross, like literally yuck!
>>737938952No those were all outlined in the OP
>>737938981>small featureless genderless chungus creatures were basically invented by tumblr in order to not offend any race/gender/sexualityHow can you type up this string of words and not want to immediately kill yourself? How can you be this far from reality without having even a hint? Truly nightmarish.
>>737938981>small featureless genderless chunguskirby. It was the first popular one
>>737939098The high test icon Kirby

Found the perfect game for OP. It's everything he was looking for.

>>737939098>>737939121>>737939156When Kirby was made nobody had gender dysphoria and LGBT living rent fee in their head while the faggits screeched 24/7 about indie games
>>737936648How is Silksong gay?
>>737937637Got one, lol. Looks very gay indeed. Why not? Thanks.
>>737938615Anon... all of those are nightdirge
caring about validation in a bibeogame is the lowest testosterone shit you can imagineby creating this thread you exposed yourself as a bigger faggot than half of the devs presented
>>737938045How is that the creators' fault that gay games happen to be the best sellers? Almost as if the problem was with high test chads who never buy any vidya. If you were a dev, you too would make games that are guaranteed to be popular and profitable.
>>737939303How did devs sell tons of high test games back then? Are gays the majority now, why are gay games outselling high test ones to the point that high test games are not commercially viable, those are the questions this thread poses
>>737939378The market shifted from a niche nerdcore to global normalfaggotry, that's what happened. Catering to brainless cattle is easier than trying to make a game even a single jaded anon would spend money on.
>>737939623>waaaah waaaaaaah nobody is appealing to me anymore!!!

Better dead than red.
>>737936648Why do you play games that are gay OP?
>>737936648The nerds of today are not the nerds of the 90s. The indie games you want to see do get made, but you have to hunt them down yourself as they rarely break into the mainstream.
>>737941454bullshit, i already "break into the mainstream" and i barely get one indie game in my fav genres a year. but keep telling people that it's true, maybe one day that "coming when we say so" game you've been waiting for 8 years will finally release in early access
>>737939903yes, a good market should actually cater to everyone, by having something for everyone
>>737936648 not just that, indie games today manage to look worse than games did 15 years ago, they look the same too having the same generic cartoon look
>Why are indie games>posts only popular indies like the normalfag cattle he isGrim
Indie games also fall into mainstream and alternative categories. Obviously, mainstream games aren't going to portray things from a male perspective when the spirit of the mainstream is feminine.I consider my game "alternative" because it's pure testosterone. The characters have zero tolerance for faggotry, and even the fags themselves are homophobic.
>>737941868Sounds like you are about to get cancelled

Death to cherrypick spics
>>737950706Feel free to cherrypick gay old western IPs that were on the level of popularity of Warcraft and GTA, or new high test indie IPs that are on the level of popularity of Hades and Hollow Knight in these amounts

>>737939378>high test gamesThe best selling games of the 90s were from franchises you'd consider "toddler" or gay shit like Final Fantasy, Mario, Zelda and some racing games.GTA 3 was not made by a small teamFO1 sold 150k copies, not a lot, even for a PC game of its time.DOOM is the only game in that image that could possibly satisfy all your retarded parameters.

>>737952993>All Japanese gamesYes, your type considers all Japanese games to be "fag shit" more than half the time. The fact that you continue to adamantly claim "gay" is a real attribute that actually applies to ALL the games you're painting it on gets sadder by the second.
I have always laughed at people thinking Fallout affirms their political identity, nephew, YOU GET GLASSED. Also I don’t care what anyone says, Blizzard games have always been dogshit, I’ve never been impressed.
