Lord Kaito @kaisenso.bsky.social · 11/03/2026Serious Question Why are like 50% of indie games nowadays turnbased roguelike deckbuilder gambleslop where you pick one of three items??? 40% are forgettable friendslop and the remaining 10% are games with actual substance. 8100
Boteusz @boteusz.bsky.social · 11/03/20261. When you stumble upon seeing a cool interesting game played by a YouTuber/Streamer and it’s a rougelike - then you can both watch a bunch of it and then go buy and play it yourself. With a more linear or story based game - seeing let’s play just spoils you and you have no incentive to play it. 110
Boteusz @boteusz.bsky.social · 11/03/20262. Developing game which is system-heavy like rougelike/friendslop/crafting/survival with early access is much simpler than linear/story ones. With former you can just refine and add stuff, with latter it’s hard. You either do it episodic or by acts (like with Baldurs Gate 3) 130
