>indie game
>look inside
>old game but worse

Why is this the most common premise for indie games? And the ones that don't do this don't have any unique ideas most of the time anyway

I thought independent games were supposed to be a creative outlet for visionaries

yeah mhm how about you google pogo3d then kid

i just dont think theres a lot of room for unique gameplay patterns in this genre. in what direction can you even pull metroidvania to make something meaningfully different and fun

indie devs are using their talents to generate nostalgia bait for money. it's legitimately that simple. they don't care about the craft or the medium, they care about social media clout and (((greenbacks.)))

Indie devs make games they themselves want to play, which will be something inspired by a game they like.
