IMO we are in a golden age of indie games right now. At one point practically every indie game was a 2D platformer (not that there’s anything wrong with platformers, but that’s all their limited development resources would allow).
Then we had the era of the untextured (or really minimally textured) 3D Unity games with boxy models and really minimal animations.
Now there are so many indie games coming down the pipe (or which are already out) with amazing art assets and really high quality animations, better than a lot of AAA stuff in the 2000s I would even say.
Also, even in the AAA scene we are finally out of the brown era.
Technology has advanced so much that it’s easier everyday for a single developer or a small group to make a game. I think it will only get better. It’s a good time to make things!
