Ok this is cool and everything, but let me repeat this: INDIE IS NOT A FUCKING GENRE INDIE IS NOT THE SCALE OF YOUR TEAM INDIE IS NOT A FEELING Indie is being INDEPENDENT OF A LARGER COMPANY/ORGANIZATION'S FINANCING AND DECISIONS. UBISOFT is never "indie". Period. Jesus christ

You might’ve seen the words Prince of Persia and assumed something big and glossy. This is Rogue. Indie-scale. Made by a small team who really cares.

Readers added context
Ubisoft is the publisher and IP holder, which means it’s backed by a major AAA company and therefore not an indie game data40.com/articles/top-a…

I feel like we should have reached an age when people are smart enough to realize that these games were made by 2 entirely different teams with entirely different art direction and that has absolutely no baring on either of the console's capabilities, but here we are.

This is stupid, and it's stupid because it's unnecessary to do what FFVII Remake/Rebirth did (even for FFVII) to have a remake. There's no reason 6 needs to have a bloated reimagining like that. 7 didn't even need it. You can make 3d remakes that aren't bombastic overinflations.

A Final Fantasy 6 remake on par with Final Fantasy 7's would take around 20 years to complete, says director Yoshinori Kitase. bit.ly/3OlrWxe

So, bad wrapping typewriter text is a HUGE pet peeve of mine, and it seems like both AAA AND Indie devs fall into this trap, but with some very very simple code that checks the length of your next word you can solve the problem. I threw this together in < 10 minutes! #gamedev

That being said, COOL if they're giving the team the freedom to do what they want with it and not controlling the decision pipeline or the end product, but if Ubisoft is funding this, it's not indie.

So, since Game Maker is now FREE for non-commercial, I've put my template asset packs up *for free* until the end of the month to help you get started on making a game. Have at it, and go make some games! (link in replies) #gamedev #indiedev #gamemaker

For those who haven't seen it- Simon Quest: Transylvania Adventure is a work in progress parody/homage to ClassicVanias~ Convoluted hints, mansions, and a time system that doesn't make you wait. Demo coming in a couple weeks! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #screenshotsaturday
