Joshua Caleb of Gaming Rebellion writes: "It is a strange time for gaming, there have been many shifts and changes in the industry, culture, community and the way they interact. Not the least of these changes is the idea of playing and paying for games before they’re completed. This idea would have been crazy and unthinkable only 5-10 years ago, but here we are, in the age of Early Access."
The organizers of the 24nd annual Independent Games Festival (IGF) have announced the finalists for the 2022 IGF Awards, which honors the most influential, innovative and exemplary projects in independent game development.
From Indie darlings to massive blockbusters, you might be surprised to find out how many of your favourite games are made down under. Here is every game, big or small made in Australia released in 2020.
Yeah having a bit of mocap dramas mate skippy was being a bit a of C***t trying to get the suit on so were delaying it until next year.
Proceeds from the DLC pack are going towards gazzas surgery after trying to get the roo in the suit.
How many were actually created by kiwis but "claimed" by auzzies? There's a history there.
Gonçalo Monteiro is the Founder of Massive Galaxy Studios and currently developing TWO games at ONCE! He tells us how while developing a game he realized he had TWO games there and why he decided to split them into two. Also - What is the dev scene in Portugal?
This is interesting. I tend to shy away from early access, but I suppose I would buy an early access game if it was something I was 100% sure I was going to buy anyway. I would have bought Shovel Knight on early access, for example.
Good article. I'm always leery of early access type things since I got burned once on Kickstarter, but it could definitely be good in the hands of a responsible dev.
Some games would not even have been possible if it was not for them to go the Early-Access route, which means more games can be made and that is always a good thing.
judging from what ive heard about early access, its just an excuse for devs to release a half complete game, get money and then judge if its actually work completing the game.
similar to buying a beta that never actually becomes a full game and can get away with releasing a buggy mess.
its a good concept but is abused.
An excellent concept and works well. Early Access and Kickstarter has made many games possible we wouldn't have ever got otherwise. Publishers are targeting their games for casual gamers which has pretty much killed many great genres.
