I can’t see these gaining more popularity over Steam, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo if they are only sticking to do retro. From my understanding, most indie companies want maximum reach for their games, especially for the amount of time and money they put into things.
My question becomes what would limited run games create the games to play on in the future? PS6 will likely not have a physical game option if I had to guess. Nintendo Switch 2 just came out, so that may be the last console to support physical games. I guess we’d be stuck using old machines. Given how powerful current systems are, that may be enough for indie studios.
I was honestly quite shocked by how many dics are listed to work straight from the disc.
I wouldn’t say I have the most experience in the fundraising part. It usually starts with getting a group of like-minded people together, pooling whatever money/resources you have together to kickstart some stuff. One you have a meetup/group with some traction then you start looking at what kind of grants are available in the area, since sometimes you have options. Going to local shops in your neighborhood that are willing to donate food/time also helps. Ultimately it comes down to how many people you know and how well you can network.
Thank you, this is exactly the kind of thing I was thinking about!
As someone who helps organize events in person, it’s a lot of work, especially if it’s for free. While I appreciate seeing people with ideas, there needs to be more people that volunteer to help execute said ideas.
Thank you!
What display cases are these?
So say we all!
