Since when people started to assume that
bigger budget = better game, Do i remind you that Destiny, the game that had 500 Million dollars, the largest budget in any game ever, is considered for many people and critics alike a "meh" game, like many other shooters, and the fact that the game itself isn't finished?, aswell some questionable gameplay decisions here and there.
Budget helps, you can't deny that, but all it comes down to "How you make the game", and how you manage to set all the elements you want in a game, aswell how you implement the gameplay, the graphics, the music, games are like pieces of art, you have to to treat them well in order to do a good game, if not, it can be disastrous. Making a game is like cooking, no matter how expensive the food you buy, the expensive the instruments you buy, if you have shit skills, the food is going to be shit, no matter what, on the contrary, if someone has less expensive food but incredible skills, they will make something good, even with tiny pieces of it.
Hmmm, is it too much to ask? Well, as I imagine you already know, many times the answer is "yes." It's not always about the developers' resources either.
That's the great thing about indie games. They're not a genre, a platform, or an aesthetic. They'll always be a relevant source for new ideas, because those games are simply whatever the creator(s) want them to be. If they wanna make To the Moon, they can do it. If they wanna make Aquaria, no sweat. If you want them to do something different, they can hand you a tissue.
Like, let's be real for a sec. We already know the kind of blockheads that are going to show up to the Indivisible campaign once it gets started. Thankfully, comments like "weeb fetish game," or "durhur lastgen gtfo," won't have any effect on Labzero's vision. They'll make the game they want to make, and we'll be along for the ride.
Of course, if you feel there's an aspect of gaming that's been woefully unexplored, then you could always, y'know...make your own game. Like you said, the tools are there and waiting!
I love how Indie games can be anything, you want a 2d platformer?, we have it!, you want a game about a apocalyptic setting as a roguelike game?, you have it!, this is one of the things i adore in most indie games, when i made that statement i completely forgot about Freedom Planet, a game that plays and feels like a 16 bit game, honoring games such as Sonic, Rocket Knight, Pulseman,etc. Aswell i saw some KS where people are making projects with 2D platformers with 16 bit graphics, this is actually kinda nice (Besides the fact that i love both 8 bit and 16 bit platformers, i rather play a 16 bit platformer for better circumstances), how i wish that the "AAA" companies could make a game as imaginative as the indie games, as i said, Nintendo is, practically the only one doing that job well, and still manages to make it on the market (I loved how they supported the Indie market, i especially like the Indie games they have on there, like The Legend of Dark Witch or Azura Striker Gunvolt), it seems that the Indie games are just getting better and better than the AAA games, while those are decreasing their quality and losing the imagination to make another game.
In campaigns there are a lot of people who will curse or say bad words, heck, when the Skullgirls DLC roster was announced, everyone was fighting for Annie, others for Eliza, etc. I just hope that this game can be successfully funded, though, i can't imagine how the story will be in these games, the protagonist is dark skinned so should we make a game based on Indian cultures?, or should we add Japanese traces because the animation seems from there?, i can't imagine what kind of characters (Especially the NPC's) will be made for this game, i hope it's not a mix between the Greek, Rome, Spain, Indian, Asiatic culture in a bag, it can be confusing, but, since this is a videogame, anything can happen, but i don't mind that, the more variety, the better.
P.D: I want to make my own game, i'm interested on using RPG Maker as a starter point, when i'm finally able to conquer that program (When it comes to tools, designs, just about everything) i will probably make my own game, it will take long time, since you were nice, it would be neat if you could play it (When i finally decide to finish it, of course)
