one better

I love indie games.

This game deserves to get published.

I think there’s a segment of the console market who would enjoy SANDBOX games. We’ve seen this at the company I currently work for… We released a Wii Ware title that really isn’t a game – there’s no objectives, there’s no winning, no loosing, no points – it just is. And it’s done very well. In fact it’s done better than all the other game’s we’ve released that have objectives & points (on Wii Ware).

I wouldn’t’ recommend doing something like this on the Wii – especially if you want to make money.  It just so happens that my example was released on the Wii.

That said – I think there’s room on the other two platforms for games that are just a SANDBOX.  I’ve found an example of one that I think could do well.

Sure things would need to be done to make it more console friendly – but the underlying elements of SANDBOX and lack of clear cut objectives would remain.  The space might not be that big for this type of game…  The publisher that does it first & does it well will dominate it.
