Indie developer calls the indie boom "unsustainable"

[Aerys]

I know doomed threads are as much as imagining a zombie apocalypse for some people but that needs to stop, it's tiring. No the industry is not dead. ( i remember when the Wii U failed, everyone was saying " omg the industry is doomed, Durango and Orbis cant do better than the Wii successor, gaming is dead !!! Lol)

Nothing will change, some indie will shine, most will stay in the shadow, those who want best chances to shine have to make something more ambitious than the mass or/and ask help from a publisher. ( so not being an indie anymore) Those who want to stay indie will have to release really innovative/ excellent games like Shadow Complex, Mark of the Ninja, Dust an elysian tail, Guacamelee, Hotline Miami,... That seems unfair that only the excellent/innovative indie games shine ? Dont think so.

I think Tequila Works will be a good example of that, they had the publisher with Microsoft but not the ambition, now they have publisher, ambition and money to satisfy this ambition with Rime.
