There's nothing about "small games" that equates it to slop. A very clear recent example is PEAK which was made in 4 weeks and people love it. Spending more time on a game does NOT automatically make it better, it's all up to your skills. If you're a complete beginner, then yeah you can't make something better than "slop" even in 6 months. But if you're an experienced dev, then you can definitely make something awesome in 6 months. Case in point: A Game about Feeding a Black Hole. Made in 5 months by an experienced developer, made $500k in the first month, players love it.

@UnityCodeMonkey See? "Small games" to you are well done and at a small scale. "Small games" to them means copy/paste brackey videos.
