    If 90% of games being brand new was the standard, we would need a horrifying amount of games every year and by now there’d prob be more games required than humans to make them

        They’re saying that if 90% of all games that exist were new each year, the number of games that would have to release each year to achieve it would be exponentially increasing and therefore unsustainable. The facts are simple math.

          You missed the joke. That was a quote from Deus Ex, the game depicted in the screenshot. 🙂

            You’re right, I did! In my defense, it’s been 20+ years since I’ve played it. Maybe I should change that.

              If you have a beefy PC, check out Surreal 98! The end goal is to have VR support for UE1 games like Deus Ex or Unreal Tournament. It’s still in early access and will be for some time, but it’s already looking pretty good.

      also it’s easy to experiment with an early art medium

      but once you figure out the good methods it takes way more time to perfect them & more resources to use them

      you can see that perfectly mimicked within the bubble of minecraft building styles - people built entire villages overnight because all it took for them to be considered good was decent symmetry and style cohesion

      nowadays if you want your minecraft build to be considered good - best arm yourself in patience as step one is catching up on all the building techniques created in the last 15 years. and once you know colour theory by heart, and can make a gradient in the blink of an eye you can probably make something people would look at and say “neat”

    2010 seems to have the same level of new games as we do now, if the same metrics of “indie vs AAA” are used
