I do think that the games industry has kind of been in a bit of a creative rut, although i don’t think it’s particularly a bad thing. I enjoy the games that are out now, heaps of people enjoy it as it is and companies love to make them. I do realize that there is plenty of opportunity to make games a form of art though and I’d probably like to see that happen also, mostly just out of curiosity…
I definitely do not agree with people that get all up-in-arms about the whole thing though. I don’t think it could threaten the current games industry at all, we will always have games that are centered around shooting zombies.
I don’t think that it is at all profitable though, i mean you could definitely get some small companies going for it and it would probably make a lovely weird artsy/nerdy community… but i highly doubt it will take off and stay there.
I also don’t think it’s fair to just blame the large companies for not backing them up because after all it’s a business. We live in a capitalist society. If you want a gold sticker for your efforts and pretty ideas then stay in kindy.
So basically, cool idea, go for it? don’t expect billions, don’t expect anyone to even play it repetitively (don’t think most people play games for an emotional experience), but yea, why not?
