Why doesn't /v/ support indie games?

>>386639634
I'd be more interested if they went for SNES graphics. I'm sick of every indie dev going for a NES look.

Alright, but which indie game with 8-bit graphics is it?

>>386639634
because 99% of them are shit

>inspired by old metroid
>retro style
>paraphrased famous quote for a subtitle
Funny how much the lack of originality shines through in one little screeenshot.

>>386639634
stop promoting your shitty kickstarter on /v/

2d sprite based games can be good, unless their only selling point is retro style, homage bullshit. Something original is far better than some pandering bullshit. Fuck this game

If I want SNES games I'll DL an emulator and some ROMs.

Stupid retro shit.

>>386639634
Because nothing from kikestarter has ever turned out good, or was mediocre at best.

Shouldn't reddit support it instead?

>>386639634
I only buy completed games.

No "ideas" or vague "concepts"

that's not uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum ,how it works

>>386639763
Honestly I completely agree

>>386639763
These pixel graphics indie games don't even do graphics properly how it was done on NES. There can be good 8/16 bit indie games, but usually these kinds of games means they couldn't afford a better guy to do graphics, had no talent, or were massive hipsters.

>>386639634
>retro style
>ps4
thats why. try actually limiting yourself to snes specs then making the graphics, or make it free because its your trial project, not 15k on patreon -if- released.

try being cool like the guy who made cave story, and yume nikki, and not the next non event barely anyone actually wants.

That's a Gagarin quote if I'm not mistaken.

>>386644240
yep.
except, how do you say that in russian?

>>386639634
Metroidvanias are shit

>>386644541
>my opinion is fact

>>386644603
Ohhh I am so sorry, I meant to say: In my opinion metroidvanias are shit.
Do you feel better now?

>>386644736
Why yes, thank you very much.

>inspired by series namedrop

Why would someone pay money to own in incomplete version of a game?

>>386639634
>kickstarter
>by the numbers Super Metroid clone

Because they're as derivative as the culture they're the counter to.

At least this one is.

>>386639634
>oh look another indie dev game that is completely unoriginal, looks devoid of gameplay, or literally anything that could make it interesting!
Gee can't wait

>Another le epic retro 2D 8bit pixel art indie game
Oh wow, this seems like a really interesting and innovative game that I totally want to play.

I do. But only the ones that look good. Same with all games, really.

>>386645652
>I don't understand what kickstarter is

>>386639634
because 9 times out of 10 they either always disappoint (mighty no.9) or falsely advertise what they are (STRAFE)

acting like an indie game is automatically going to better because there is no suit telling them what to do & the devs have full creative control is just naive

>>386643707
True. I'm also sick of their so-called "attempts" at 8-bit music. With some very rare exceptions most of it just sounds like trash and nothing like what we had on actual 8-bit consoles.

>crowd funding
Because, while I'm never short of money, I'll never pay for something on a 'promise'. And as >>386640129 pointed out, I can count good games to come from this on one hand, FTL.

>>386643707

That's no different from how it was in the 8-bit era. Most NES games look & sound like shit, and some of them look and sound great for what they were working with.

I'm in favor of just about any graphical sacrifice if it means a game that otherwise wouldn't get made, can get made. Most of them will be duds, like it's always been, but some of them will be good or even great. We should all encourage whatever practices make it easier for more people to make more games that they really want to make, without publishers breathing down their neck.

And of course a lot of people really like pixel graphics, like it seems y'all do. But maybe YOUR nostalgia is somehow BETTER than everyone else's, despite clearly not having played that many 8-bit games.

>le post-ironic 8-bit style

I despise this fucking meme, put in some effort and do some decent sprite graphics you retro-hipster cunts.

They literally just copying genres/games and styles but almost never expand or improve on them. Anything to avoid real effort

zere iz no gawd up hearrr

I started my gaming career with 8-bit games, I played a fuckton of them as a kid and I still play a ton of them today. I know how the NES sounds, I know how its sound chip works and I can tell you the majority of indieshitters that try to emulate it have never actually seen a NES in their life.

>>386639763
>NES
Does it? Looks more like an MS-DOS game to me.

>la pixelshit thrown togetherther for nostalgia "le gamer Xd" pandering
call me back when theres some GOOD indie games, these guys can barley do what people did on the PS1 and making games has become far too easy
