I’ve never heard of CWA. Would be nice to get them really emailing/connecting the right people.

I feel like I read articles like this every few years. And outside of the folding proteins “game”, I rarely see them get mainstream appeal and contribution.

Sure, 90% of them will play it super safe. But there’s always 1 AAA game that breaks the mold and suddenly, the AAA games will follow that. Or imitate whatever indie game is doing with a higher budget.

Absolutely. My disappointment is owning a NES and buying a game based on me playing it at the arcade.

I chortled.

And the sale is on itch, where they can do experiments like this
