Now imagine, if you will, a white bean.
I CAME UP WITH THE IDEA FIRST IT'S MINE FAGGOTS BACK OFF

All the dumb cheap ways indie devs think they can make their game more creative than it actually is, like making it ripoff of a popular game or genre but a roguelike or rhythm game or card game.

slugcat, hollow knight and ori are all good designs even if they are similar. the rest are shit designs even if some of the games are good.

Why is it consistently frogposters that say the most stupid low IQ bullshit you could possibly imagine? What is it about pepe that attracts the dregs of humanity so?

cherrypicking is always retarded. most of those games have strong enough gameplay and aesthetics that i can't bring myself to care what the MC looks like.

I mean it makes sense. If the character is white it works with any color background and is easy to read. If you changed the character's color you'd have to worry about color schemes that don't clash. Why are you people so against white colored indie characters?

Imagine telling someone in 2005 you had no gender and preferred they/xe pronouns. You'd be sent to a psych ward immediately.

They all look the same

>Implying shitty character design can't ruin a game's atmosphere
>Implying gameplay can excuse a game's core faults
KYS faggot.

We're lucky to live in an era of rapid progress.

Baba, Ori, The Knight and Slugcat are great and creative
I never played the other ones, but the bottom middle ones look very lame and boring

>What is it about pepe that attracts the dregs of humanity so?
Pepe went mainstream. That's all there is to it.

They get shilled to death and cost way more than they are worth sometimes.

the only time bad character design has ever hindered my enjoyment of a game has been in really fanservicey weebshit.
different games prioritize different elements, so it feels pointless to complain about what a game fails to achieve as opposed to what its strengths are. there are some games that are ugly as sin yet still keep me coming back because they're satisfying to play. there are others that bore me to death but still have a very strong art style and soundtrack i can appreciate. different strokes yo.

you are absolutely right about the bottom middle ones

No, you wouldnt be.

They aren't free anymore.

Whenever someone puts politics into their game that has no place in said game and is as subtle as taking a brick to the face.

"Fantasy universe? Better put in a gamergate reference!"

>The teens that used to make freeware games now need to charge money for their labor because their parents no longer act as a fallback income source

Oh no who could have seen this coming

They cute

Wow, you really are gay, aren't you?
>it feels pointless to complain about what a game fails to achieve as opposed to what its strengths are
Wow, this game is incredible if you ignore what's bad about it!

they are still making tons of free indie games, it just so happens that the good ones are being sold at a price now

what are the bottom games other than Fez?

rain world is so annoying fuck whoever vouched for that game. I get its appeal but its way too puinishing, the game won't let you explore for shit nigga.

The fans

There's literally no reason to make a freeware game in the current year when you can just drop 100 dollars on a tribute to Gabe and earn money on it. It might even reach a wider audience, since ironically people think free games aren't worth their time anymore.

>>Implying shitty character design can't ruin a game's atmosphere
This is probably the dumbest post I have ever read on this website. Out of context, in an extremely hypothetical state, I can kinda see this happening where the main character looks like from a furry gay pride parade but the game is supposed to be dark and gloomy, but in context this statement can only come from a braindead tranny. I'd tell you to kys, but your chances are already pretty high, so, no pressure.

>white skin is the same as a literal white character
Retard

>hating on baba

Where's my black representation???

CONSUUUUUUUUUUME PRODUCT
YOU MUST CONSUUUUUUUUUUUUME

>Black and white is used sometimes
OH MY GOOOOOOOOOD

Not all commercial indie games are good, but almost all good indie games nowadays have a price tag.

BABA is WIN
OP is FAGGOT

Mainly art style and that everyone are roguelikes. >browse through games
>see one with a very interesting cover
>see trailer
>it's some amiga style shitty pixel graphic or "minimalistic arts-y silhouette" shit
>see description
>it's a roguelike, survival management shitty thingie

fake deep story written by somebody that dropped out of film school cause they thought they were too good for it
also cheap pixel art

>but almost all good indie games nowadays have a price tag
>i paid 20 bucks for this indie game, it has to be good, it BETTER be good

That's what I am arguing against, though.

top ones seems like solid enough designs, I mean you could replace baba with pretty much anything but it works fine for what it is
bottom are a lot shittier since they feel like they're trying to force a personality while the top naturally have it, if that makes sense

Funny how the bottom games are also vastly inferior to the ones above.

Basically, don't give your character a mouth.

Shitty artstyles (most pixelshit)
Story over gameplay
Platformers with a gimmick
