Many people get the idea to create a game and at times its a struggle to think about how players will experience the game. Many things I see wrong with many inde games that come out on steam is the idea that no one will notice a lack of effort in video games. I see many names be put out there where a company wants to get apart of the next big thing and milk its fan base. The Unity fan base is one.

Unity is a engine that allows game developers an easy tool to help build their games. One of these is sharing assets. This allows people to create objects that can be sold so that others can use that in their game. What happens though is when it gets in the hands of greedy people. People will buy assets instead of creating their own create a cheap game around it and then sell it to the public within a few weeks. This is a problem to some indie developers who use Unity to create good games. Unity because of this has gotten some bad rep even though it is a good software to create games. So for people who want to use Unity be careful with your work and take time to craft the game you want to make.

and of course the bad:

early access games seem to fall into two categories with people. ether they like coming back to a game that has something new or changes completely after a few month and be able to play something similar but different again or the say they don’t like it because they want a finished game.

the reason for these thoughts comes from the development hell. when a developer creates and early access game they create a difficult area to tread. if they change the game too much they lose consumers and publicity. But when done right you get a following and your game gets more buyers and so you can do more with your game. its a huge risk and reward that lead many dev’s ideas to a shallow grave.

a good article discuses a groups views on early access games. 

This blog i will post information on indie video games. I will look up the struggles these people go through to get their thoughts down in a game. There are many small team game developers that are created all the time but only a few become the true legends.
