Good guess - that is, in fact, not my position. Other types of games
than what I'm trying to make right now should certainly be made. I just
don't want to see everyone making the SAME type of game, or just a
handful of types of games, I want to see people making more different
types of games. In the commercial arena, it's been the case for many
years that most people are working on games that are "clones" of one of
the currently most-popular genres, and very few people are trying to do
highly innovative and original work. I was spoiled when I started out,
because not many genres had even been invented yet, and there was tons of
innovation.
Here on the list, I see things even more narrowly focused, with maybe one
or two types of "ideal games" that people are clustered around and trying
to figure out how to make. It's frustrating to me to see so little
diversity of opinion and artistic style.
My tone is probably inappropriate, definitely a sign of my impatience,
and probably an indicator that I should stop talking and just work on my
game instead. I got a new feature working last night - a few hundred
more of those, and we'll probably reach the point where my partner and I
can earn enough money to support ourselves. Maybe. :X)
