What's The Deal With Stories in Indie Games?

[@guillemrv6]

I love how Gris makes you FEEL the story rather than narrating it, allowing each person's interpretation to differ based on their experiences or mood. If you haven't tried Neva yet, I highly recommend it (it's from the same studio as Gris) and in my opinion, has an even better story :)

[@OandCoGames]

Definitely on my list of games to play!

[@Pabs1234]

I recently played your demo, and damnnnn its good definitely buying on launch

[@OandCoGames]

Thank you thank you!

[@Pabs1234]

@@OandCoGames though the story is too explicit, maybe a little bit more implicit would be a nice touch :)

[@OandCoGames]

@ we’re trying to weave both methods into it. Quieter subtle stories will be woven throughout the full game

how does this video only have 800 views? This deserves at least 3 mil. Top tier video! Keep it up!

[@OandCoGames]

Thank you!!!

Few examples of games with storytelling I love are Shantae, Sly Cooper, Disgaea & Megaman Legends which feel like whimsical fun animated series focused on their characters.

[@OandCoGames]

I love this.

Legendary homepage pull 🔥🔥

[@VanLamarOfficial]

Well i dont know about all of them but TG has such a nice story

[@OandCoGames]

lol awe shucks

[@TheAgentAPM]

I jest, that the greatest reward for completing Return of the Obra Dinn should be a pleasure to watch the entire story in full motion. Except that... it would invalidate the underlying creativity.

[@OandCoGames]

lol yeah, I suppose it’s the fragmentation of the way the story is told that gives the game its magic

[@kitsunemusicisfire]

When one person who knows exactly how they want the story to be executed makes a story out of pure love and passion with little financial incentive in their own free time, it tends to be better than like twenty people with different ideas tries to execute one story on a budget mostly out of financial incentive within a limited amount of time and with a lot of pressure from their higher ups.

[@OandCoGames]

YES!!!

[@SuperDK09]

It's insane how No Man's Sky was made by AN INDIE TEAM WITH LESS THAN 20 PEOPLE

[@OandCoGames]

Oh shoot that's right!

[@foldupgames]
