The problem is that they have thousands and thousands of submissions to wade through, so new ideas have to stand out, meet a bunch of criteria, justify their potential existence on Live Arcade and the Xbox 360, and just plain get people excited. GV: In your opinion, do you see Live Arcade becoming a great way for independent developers to get their names out? Also, do you think the large publishers might begin putting smaller games up on Arcade as well as releasing “big name” titles? Steve: Yes to both. Larger publishers have already gotten involved with Live Arcade, either using smaller third-party teams or developing Live Arcade games in-house. But Live Arcade is still an excellent way for indie developers to jump into the fray and stand out with something original and interesting that shows off their passion. Microsoft goes out of their way to support the Indie world on Live Arcade, but has to do so while maintaining a high quality bar. http://www.gamevortex.com/gamevortex/interview.php/5/ninjabee-team-interview-interviews.html |
