What is your honest opinion on indie games?
>>
>>744575740
Could've been the future of gaming but ended up lame and gay instead.
>>
>>744575798
Why do they become lame and gay specifically??

You got silksong with the troon devs, mina the hollower being blm donating faggots, I remember when terraria removed the genders from the character creator from the 1.4 update, they're all fucking lame and gay why is this??
>>
>>744575740
most are a copy of old genres
pic related is legit the only innovator of the scene
>>
It's always tragic to see a game that was discussed honestly here fall victim to the tranny derangement posts
>>
>>744575740
Some games are okay. All of them are made by mentally ill devs.
>>
>>744575740
They're the only worthwhile games anymore, but your pic isn't related anon.
Begin by going on youtube, deleting all your rimeling and then start clicking and searching for game trailers, after a short while youtube will put indies trailers in your algo and you'll start discover non-pozzed stuff for yourself.
Also lease do visit hidden gems threads here on /v/, anons usually have good taste.
>>
>>744576182
>"rimeling"
what the fuck even happened here?
*timeline
>>
>>744575901
I don't know why there's no based indie developers or at least with a spine to say "NO" about this kind of shit, but it seriously pisses me off.
>>
>>744575901
>You got silksong with the troon devs
elaborate
>>
>>744575740
thinly veiled tranny thread
>>
>>744576251
Because saying that shit gets you #MeToo'd and Cancelled
>>
>>744575901
just my stupid theory but maybe the reasoning is to appeal to a minor but VOCAL audience which will get them woke brownie points which can get them shilled by the gayming industry, ign for example even tho no one gives a shit about ign, or geoff himself

the gayming industry is seriously like this nowadays
>>
>>744575740
AI means there should be a lot more of them, if ideas guys aren't all the frauds I suspect them to be. Let's see your ideas
>>
such an enormous question that a single consise answer is retarded.
>>
aa games are mostly dead, the incredible vast majority of aaa games are complete and utter dogshit, so indies are mainly what I care about these days. there's still tons of dogshit and low effort clones to wade through, but because there are more of them made you'll actually find fun and interesting games
>>
>>744576297
Is Oneshot deveoped by a tranny as well?
>>
>>744575740
fun games on a budget for poor people made by poor people.

There are but those games don't end up in a circlejerk that propels them up forever.
Many don't buy into tht shit and factorio dev famously told them to fuck off, but picrel is possibly the only example that doubled down and called out their mental illness.
>>
>>744576847
Oneshot had the woman dev basically being the "idea guy" while her fiancee at the time develloped the whole game by himself.
Now she's develloping another game for 8 years now but she's getting into constant roadblocks becasue she break up with her programmer bf, and kept hiring trannies that did an half assed job before leaving the game in an uneditable state.
She spends most of her time doing speedruns (troon dogwhistles) of Hyper Light Drifter and Outer Wilds.
I know so much of the topic because a friend of mine who i met through his oneshot art basically carried the whole fandom on his shoulder making oneshot related stuff for years when the game was unpopular and went into a breakdown because he later realized he helped devellop a comunity full of trannies that made the game earn more than what he will in the rest of his life without as much as a thanks from the dev.

I don't know if they are indie, but troons are seething that this game has no gay stuff
>>
>>744577671
Yikes, women are truly the niggers of gender. Thanks for the summary

Scott Cawthon, creator of FNAF, is a Christian from Texas.

>>744575740
the people who constantly whine about them are gun and ball gamers who complain that can't shoot something in scripted cutscenes.

they don't care for games, just for art direction aimed at teenage boys. they objectively have the worst taste in games out there and are terrible at anything that challenges them because they're unwilling to learn anything else.
>>
>>744576251
conservatives are terrible artists who frown on any sincere attempt at creativity because they are incurious, arrogant, and narrowminded
>>
Those 3 specifically are trannycore, but there are some decent ones.

luv em
>>
>>744575740
Some of them are good, some are even great, while others are trendchasing cashgrabs and still others are vapid vanity projects from obnoxious idea guys.
Same problems AA releases had back when, but with fewer licensing tie-ins.
>>
>>744575740
Not a fan. I only like a few of them. Hades and silksong are solid (not a fan of the woke shit, or the troon devs, but I can separate the art from the artist and enjoy a game even if I don’t completely agree with the message) but honestly >>744575798
This anon said it right. Indie could have been what killed the industry, I’m old enough to remember 2013, the massive success of Minecraft, all of that, unfortunately most devs that go indie just want to make boring mini clip slop instead of real games.
>>
>>744575740
I just don't understand what these three games have in common. I can't put my finger on it. Does anyone know?
>>
>>744576251
There was that one dude from poland who said he wasn't going to put gay marriage in the game and wokies harrased him to the point of a somewhat embarassing meltdown where he pops off about how commies ruin everything, which ended up being good for him because a shitload of people bought his game to own the libz

Is this the infamous 4chan ogre?

um bro, your high quality team sneed games tyrone vs cops and cuckold simulator and tyrone soulz???

No it's a guy who just made a roguelite deckbuilding game that fizzled out like 1 month later

Indies are fucking great but you have to look for games that suit your tastes. Sadly this tiny amount of effort is impossible for the majority of /v/ posters so they write off the whole indie scene as shit.
>>
>>744581703
Would you go swimming through a septic tank for half an ounce of gold?

That's what the indie scene is but even then there are turds wrapped in gold coloured plastic and the only way to tell is take a bite
>>
>>744581646
He made Slay the Spire?
>>
>>744575901
My theory is that indies are too close to their fans.

I don't think there is a single indie dev that doesn't have their own discord server where they hang out and talk to fans 24/7. And this leads to the fans slowly steering the dev to take more agreeable lefty positions to keep the praise coming. Eventually the dev realizes that going full fag means their fans on discord will heap more praise onto them so they start putting gay shit in the game.
>>
>>744581804
that's just every medium once you've gone through the classics friend

>>744575901
A good chunk of indie releases are autism passion projects

And autistic people are easy to groom
>>
>>744581804
Literally every form of media is like that though? 99% of anything isn't worth your time.

They need to be even gayer to keep normalfags from turning them into slop.
>>
>>744575740
All the popular ones are dogshit with larger teams than classic first party titles.

I can count the good games by smaller teams on my fingers
>>
A statement so retarded it naturally could only come from troonimainigger, kekaroo!
>>
>>744576251
Because 90% of chuds are lazy hacks and the ones that aren’t (Scott and the factorio dev) are giga autists
>>
It's embarrassing how many of them still copy the pixel graphic trend. It was a novelty in the 00s when newer developers would have grown up with and been directly inspired by 8/16 bit games. Now it just feels lazy.
>>
>>744575740
Ahem. Testicular cremation.
>>
>>744583339
if they do 3d that's reasonable for a small team you'll still call them lazy because it'll either be lower poly or they'll use asset store assets
at least pixel art can look good when they're not doing this shit
>>
>>744575740
The popularization of indie games substantially lowered the quality standards and testosterone of videogames and gamers.

im too autistic to tell if youre trolling btw

>>744575740
Most of the games I'm excited for are indies, and that's not a consolation prize type thing. There are a bunch of indies that look as fun as any AAA game has ever been.
>>
>>744575740
It’s 99% of what I play.
