[–] merdaverse@lemmy.zip 14 points 8 months ago* (1 child) Clair Obscur is not indie by any definition of the term. I don't even know why it was considered at all. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Rooster326@programming.dev 9 points 8 months ago (1 child) Sandfall *interactive is independent from its publisher Kepler. Many of the other games Kepler produces are typically considered indie - why not Expedition 33? BG3 is "Indie" but this definition While Hades, Hollow Knight, and Celeste being both owned and published by the same company are not indie. So.. idk what definition everyone is using. Seems to be whatever suits their agenda at the time of award. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] kinsnik@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago (1 child) While Hades, Hollow Knight, and Celeste being both owned and published by the same company are not indie. if your definiton of inide exclude Hades, Hollow Knight and Celeste because they are independent i have to say that it is a very bad definiton of what an indie game is. personally, if a game has enough budget to hire Charlie Cox or Andy Serkins, it probably should not be in an indie award ceremony permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Rooster326@programming.dev 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) Yes okay but how do you define it? Because that is all that "Indiependent" means. Remember Hades and Hades 2 had a bigger budget than E33 Hades production cost was over $15 Million Hades 2 production cost was over $20 Million E33 was less than $10 Million. Hollow Knight was developed by 2 people with a $58,000 budget. How more independent do you want to get? permalink fedilink source parent
