Hey AGS community!Ã,  There is much excitement over the new games and video game counsels that are debuting at E3.Ã,  However, we don't want all of this hoopla to overshadow all of our excellent independent games that are in currently in development.Ã,  So let's start our own wii revolution right here. ;)Ã,  Let us know why independent games (especially adventure games) are better then anything that will be presented at E3.Ã,  ;D

If they're better, it's only because commercial adventure games have fallen to such a low standard, and are made only by small, well meaning, but mostly crap developers.

It'd be great to have a kind of gaming revolutionary feeling in the independant adventure community, but there just isn't one when most of us go for the same uninspiring, formulaic designs that the (few) adventure game developers that'll be showing stuff at E3 do.  We create adventure games just because we enjoy the process and it's not to difficult, not because we have any great vision, most of the time.  It's more of a shame because we're in a better position to make awesome new stuff than the monied developers are.

There are some exceptions to what I said, of course, no need to point out the one or two great new games in development in either scene - it doesn't make a lot of difference on the whole.

So yes, lets have a REVOLUTION, WOO! Could certainly do with one.
