Microsoft has announced that indie games developers will be able to self-publish – how have they reacted to its latest U-turn?
Armored Core 6 is the modern, action-packed mecha game that deviates from the Soulsbornes formula orchestrated by Hidetaka Miyazaki.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has received a bunch of new DLC, including two new gameplay modes, for free.
It's cheap, it's super colourful and it promises to add a little bit of magic to the Xbox Store. Yep, Farlands Journey is now available.
WHat is really going to make indies flourish is the ability to make any Xbox One a Dev unit.
A 500 dollar DEV Unit!!
I can not stress enough how important this is.
Of course it might not be able to do things a full-fledged devkit can do. But this is more then enough for Indie developers.
I cant wait to see what indies do with this. I'm sure the first games to come through will be simple games but I can only imagine what devs will do later on.
no it will just polute the market with crappy minecraft clones. I think sony and MS should both put up at least some regulations so we dont get a shit ton of bad indie games. a $100 deposit from the indie devs to assure at least some quality could do it, something like steam greenlight.
Every time I read about this all I can imagine is the hackers jumping for joy.
Access through an XB1 retail unit, really? Right.
Sure...there's only about a billion PC's in the world that could be used for development, and platforms like Steam and Desura, so I can see where Indies have really been held back!
