Great blog
For time loading, Mass Effect 3 is now very short, and Skyrim, just take 1 or 3 seconds when you change from indoor : that's named progress !
Its impossible to compete alone against a large studio with up to hundreds of professionals, each one having one very specific taskIndeed, and these big companies alos take some independent contracts to make some 3D assets, character etc ...
When i see the level of Mass Effect 3 in terms of global experience : motion capture, cinematics, 3D effects, textures quality and size, level design and complexity, engaging and fun gameplay etc ... i can't imagine the years it would take to a lonewolf to make just one playable level ... without like a lot of people :
ABANDONNING A TOO MUCH BIG TASK
Yep, i see Indie for little games or less big and less complex, , with original ideas, good finition , and what i could name : "ATTRACTIVE POINTS"
Could it be special graphics (Dot Game Heroes) , gameplay (Limbo, Breed, Minecraft ... ) , Music , etc ... or just a big FUN entertainment at final !
Indie games reminds me a lot the time of SNES or CPC, Amiga games i had !
You insert the game, just hit start ; perhaps a brief and quick introduction, and here you go , you start playing something fun in the fiorst seconds
