It’s called creative direction.

Of corse not only indie games. But there’s huge shift in the market from behemoths like EA, or Ubisoft towards smaller studios and indie devs.

And yet, lately it’s the low budget indie games that dominate steam charts with massive successes.

It’s because creative direction in these comapnies sucks. It’s usually a big, bureaucratized souless machine where your connections mean more than your actual skill.

Meanwhile an indie game from a single dev: 500k players on steam.

One mind blowing part is that some of ballerinas attacks are synced to the music. This wasn’t meant to be just fight but sort of dance macabre with her.

She also has a back story that radically changes your perception of her. But I won’t spoil anything

There’s a hidden miniboss in the amusement park… But it’s so cleverly hidden you’ll probably need to look it up on the internet to find it.

There’s probably a metric ton of details I haven’t found about this game.

Yes. A lot of traveling and quest repeating to get real ending is tedious. But it’s worth it

I played Replicant with all the replays to get real ending - the more you understand, the more horrifying the underlying message is.

Wait for the amusement park. I suggest good headphones - both location and the boss will blow your mind. This was the best shit I saw in my entire life

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver. First really high quality storytelling I saw in games. Setting is so unique I never saw really any copycats

It’s a way of saying that devs have control over how it’s applied. But given examples are just bad - model changing the shape of lips and eyes is all too familiar to anyone who toyed with stable diffusion.

Fuck nuance, AI bad, herp derp!

If you can’t tell then it means it’s good enough

Just call Nintendo and tell them this will fuck the Pokémon cards. You’ll get the most rabid lawyers in the world at your side

EA is cancer. Don’t ever buy from them - you’ll get fucked

You forgot about z Copilot version where AI has unrestricted ring 0 access to every single device, including your peacemaker - but in return it spies on you 24h!

Look some people may say Xbox has confusing naming scheme, but it’s very simple, number just goes up:

First one is Xbox one. Noone in Microsoft is dumb enough to call “one” console that isn’t first of the series. Then Xbox X (because X is Roman 10) then the Xbox 360.

Very easy
