So if Shovel Knight has proven anything it's that crowdfunded

Divinity: Original Sin was crowdfunded I think, so was Undertale

>>375687587
Never heard of Divinity, and somehow I forgot Undertale exists.

Poacher was a great game, but nobody even heard of it.

Shovel Knight is basic as fuck. A majority of other projects are over ambitious

>>375687964
Yeah but don't you think that's why it's good? It's not trying to be some avante garde, next level patrician art game, it's just a fun platformer.

FTL was extremely successful and a much better game than shovel knight

FTL came out before it dummy.

Likewise with Darkest Dungeon

I didn't find it that great. It played it incredibly safe by just copying what established old school platformers did well and putting it into one game while cutting out the shit people didn't like (difficulty).

Apparently that's enough for you faggots to call it one of the best indie games ever.

>>375687379
>no other has been
Divinity Original Sin
Undermeme
Pillars of Eternity
Banner Saga even though the second one tanked because of nonexistant advertising
Sunless Sea
FTL
Darkest Dungeon

probably some others that I'm forgetting/unaware of. Nothing that's as much of a runaway success as Shovel Knight, but successes nonetheless

Aerannis was a pretty OK one. Reviews were a bit harsh because the story is weird and pissed some people off and controls can be kind of wonky at times.

Overall, it was a neat Megaman ZX-like game with some stealth stuff and a psychedelic scifi theme thrown in.

The first hour is fairly slow though and it feels pretty basic, but after that point, the style shines through and you can feel more immersed in the world.

You know exactly what's behind the spoiler, so you can only be mad at yourself if you click on it

And I'm going on the word 'successful', not subjective opinions

Stop shilling your own game dude.

I really enjoyed the demo that was put out. That shit was like 2 hours long. I've been meaning to buy it but I forgot the name of the game. It's not very memorable.

>>375687379
>So why is it that no other has been?
Just like any other place involved in production, 99% of things suck ass and 1% of things actually come through. Whether it's crowdfunded or it's picked up by some big production studio or some guy spends a decade doing it alone in his garage for nothing, how they make a living while creating it doesn't matter.

The only thing that matters is if the team is skilled enough to make the thing they set out to create.

UNDERTALE

Why cite Shovel Knight when Undertale is a far more successful and much more critically acclaimed?

>>375688536
Not shilling. I remembered seeing something about the Kickstarter a while back then forgot about it. I came across it during this past winter sale and tried it. It was decent.

Came across this a month ago. Decent challenge. I think this style of game is kinda over though.

Does that include sales across all platforms?

Grim Dawn and Slime Rancher are solid. Very opposite sides of the gameplay spectrum. Both involve farming I suppose.

I have no idea if Bastard Bonds was crowdfunded but I loved it.

>>375687707
Divinity OS is pretty good, top down RPG with good combat, the second one is in beta with regular updates, but it only lets you play the first area right now

Definitely try the first one

Because Undertale being a crowdfunded game isn't a very well known fact

You're right, that's only Steam sales. My mistake.

Because you make that process sound so simple.

People also like them because they're making top quality dlc for free

They've literally almost finished their stretch goals?

Are you perchance retarded?

Wasting time making a basic game doesn't demand any praise.

The industry is filled with casual shits. Who knew.

>>375688968
also undertale is cheaper than shovel knight undertale was 10 and shovel knight was fifteen at the time of release

Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight was crowdfunded I think, and that was fucking great (if a bit short)
