Indie Games Continue to Expand Industry
Cordova, TN; February 26, in the year of our Lord 2015--Family
Friendly Gaming, the industry leader in covering the family
friendly video games is acknowledging the current video game
expansion is thanks to the indie games. Independent developers
are creating new genres, concepts, and ways to play video games.
There have been a wide range of expansions in the video game
industry over the years. From things like CD Gaming, to PC
Games, to motion controls, Kinect, and more. The novel and
interesting ideas are coming from the smaller studios. The big
boys are not innovating like they once did.
Minecraft created its own genre, and plenty of clones followed.
Angry Birds, and Flappy Bird both took the casual gamers by
storm. Again plenty of clones followed. Terraria, and Crossy
Road put a new spin on other games. Both of them are now
warranting clones. It makes me wonder if clones are needed to
help define something that is innovative. Once every else sees a
certain new genre or game play style works they jump all over
creating a cookie cutter carbon copy. Even recent games like The
Escapists is getting its own clone.
Plenty of indie video game developers have taken the advice from
Family Friendly Gaming - you do not need to be the most
graphically powerful to create a fun game. How many millionaire
do you think Family Friendly Gaming has created from that free
advice? I would love for a few of them to send a financial thank
you. The really cool thing is these companies have succeeded
thanks to the advice Family Friendly Gaming gave them. There are
plenty of new, cool, and innovative ideas coming from indie
developers. #IDARB is a great example of a below average looking
game that is simple, and fun.
This high level of innovation from the indie video game
developers is catching the eye of a variety of larger video game
developers. They are realizing that massive amounts of money can
be made from these extremely creative people. Fans of video
games are financing other companies through crowd sourcing sites
like Kickstarter. The fans that do this are given wonderful
perks and early copies of the games. What innovative ideas do
you have for a video game? I know my dad has some wonderful
ideas that could sell millions.
God bless,
