Over 2 years after the indie game's initial release, creator Maddy Thorson confirms fan theory about Celeste's main character's gender identity.
From AAA to Indie: The Changing Landscape of Gaming. Indie Games Take Center Stage Amidst AAA Fatigue. But, has the market become too crowded?
Eh, It would be better if we talked about specific genres instead of treating the indie market as a singular entity
Personally I'm kinda done with roguelikes and I feel that there's too many of them
Not by a long shot, you still have to sift through a lot of mediocre titles, but there are plenty of gems there, and room for even more now that people are buying less AAA games.
“Another month has passed us by and during it, many incredible indie games released so let's celebrate the 12 best from March 2024.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
Earthblade is a 2D fantasy platformer in a seamless pixel art world and is the next release from the Celeste team, well it’s still is but likely will not be released in 2024 as Extremely OK Games’ head Maddy Thorson explains in an official blog post. Earthblade was first announced in April 2021 and then had its first trailer at The Game Awards in 2022. You are Névoa, an enigmatic child of Fate returning at long last to Earth, in this fantasy platformer. Earthblade’s lush pixel art world offers seamless exploration, challenging combat, and countless mysteries to pick apart. Celeste was an amazing game, so we know this will be too, we just will need to wait at least another year.
Lame. This isn't necessary.
Why do people give a shit about what a video game character is packing under their shorts. I never gave a shit about this, I find it very silly. Let me guess, the parents removed his penis at 8 years old and poured hormone blockers down his throat just because he happened to like the color pink. Can the developers clarify this for me, its so important. If this isn't the case then I no longer think the game was good and want a refund. With such a high suicide rates among trans people its no wonder why he died so many times climbing up that mountain. I feel bad for the fella now, what a tragedy. I don't give a shit if a few pixels has 10 dicks and a vagina mouth, its a video game, stop trying to make everything fit your far left narrative. Let me guess if it turned out the character was a biological female, you would now hate the game and the devs are transphobes...
If it isn't a main part of the story, I believe it isn't necessary to add. But I guess it's a little bit of extra fun towards the lore.
I call this the J.K Rowling additions
As a diehard supporter of the LGBT I was able to identify her as trans just based on the cover art
This is the world I live in.
