Solo dev behind hit city builder says to put "experimentation and art over profit" in response to ex-PlayStation CEO saying there's a "collapse of creativity" in games
He makes a strong point

Bulwark Evolution: Falconeer Chronicles creator Tomas Sala has responded to former 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Sony lead Shaw♐n Layden's assertion that there's a "collapse of creativity" in the industry, pointing to a lack of support given to independent developers.
As reported by , Layden stated that there's a "collapse of creativity in games today [with] studio consolidation and the high cost of production" during a Gamescom Asia panel. Sala caught wind of a post highlighting the ex-PlayStation head's assertion, and has now left a sharing his own thoughts on the matter: "I mean how often have we 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:indie devs asked, ♕nay begged, for mo✃re support."
I mean how often have we #indiedevs asked , nay begged, for more support. How often have we shouted that one needs to water the garden, not just harvest the fruit. Creativity in abundance !!, but that needs to be cherished and grown, 💛experimentation and art over profit. //t.💞co/34rKucTfuf
The solo dev's reply continues: "How often have we shouted that one needs to water the garden,💛 not just harvest the fruit." Sala doesn't see a "collapse in creativity" - in fact, he states that creativity is "in abundance," but that's not always enough. It "needs to be cherished and grown," and the industry needs to start placing "experimentation and art over profit." In a comment, Sala even calls this "one of the best times for games."

He writes: "The diversity and quality is breathtaking. But [to be honest] this is mostly also because we come from a time of money, but we are now in a time of tightening belts." Sala concludes that "we will see if the big parties can internalize in the lessons to keep innovating and stimulating small and midsize creativity" - and as a consumer 🎃whose Steam library is almost entirely made up of indie titles, I certainly hope his message reaches others myself.

After spending years with her head in various fantastical realms' clouds, Anna studied English Literature and then Medieval History at the University of Edinburgh, going on to specialize in narrative design and video game journalism as a writer. She has written for various publications since her 🥀postgraduate studies, including Dexerto, Fanbyte, GameSpot, IGN, PCGamesN, and more. When she's not frantically trying to form words into coherent sentences, she's probably daydreaming about becoming a fairy druid and befriending every animal or she's spending a thousand (more) hours traversing the Underdark in Baldur's Gate 3. If you spot her away from her PC, you'll always find Anna with a fantasy book, a handheld video game console of some sort, and a Tamagotchi or two on hand.
