@FarmboyinJapan I think they were just a bit too late, the shoulder buttons of the GBA kill this idea. If they had made a one-handed Gameboy Color Micro they would have been golden. Earthbound kinda toys with this idea

The prototype was about the size of a standard GBA Micro but it was instead designed with a vertical layout. There was a tiny D-Pad / scroll wheel, and buttons. This tracks as Nintendo was looking at the rise of games that could be played one handed on feature phones at the time

Note that the prototype on display was not the even older Super Famicom prototype featuring the more box-ish design. That prototype was nowhere to be found.

Re: that dog-brained thread about Starship Troopers, I'll just share my favorite detail about the movie which is that it's made clear in a subtle but unmistakable way that humanity is BADLY losing the bug war, conscripting literal children by the end of it

@Greg_Tame @TheJackyMartin I released a Commandos-inspired game which uses racing instead of RTS controls. Yet most people considered it to be a puzzle game, as they didn’t know the mechanics already (& then they quit) I think publishers dislike this swing-and-miss risk of puzzle games

@TheJackyMartin Ok, so I look at this list, and for most of them I go "Yeah ok, I can see that." I am quite confused though, what is it about puzzle games?

There are genres that some publishers avoid. To list a few: - NSFW games, - puzzle games, - visual novels, - precision platformers. Of course depends on each publisher, but there are genres that are prefered over others.

@jake__lt @BertilHorberg Maybe the biggest differentiator is "could not get a big publisher if they tried" versus "decided against a big publisher". Of course, if you actually used these labels one of them would be quite unpopular in most marketplaces lol

@BertilHorberg I think we’ve stretched the definition of independent games too far that we need a new term for games with an actual small team/budget/scale. Not really fair to but a one man job next to Cuphead in the marketplace with the same label

This is how I designed Stealth Kart. There is a whole theme of "you found this game's disc in 2002 and don't know what it will be like". Looking at streams of it, there is a big divide between people wanting to explore it and people quitting pretty fast
Dillon Rogers@TafferKing451

It’s funny because once you attune to how older games play, you’ll start to feel the opposite - that often, it’s nice how every action isn’t a forced animated sequence or takedown. You press a button and a thing just *happens*.
