We, game developers, like to think that we create innovative games. Some of us say, that the ability to have total creative control over the game is the main reason to go indie. That’s great.
But do you, the player, really care about innovation in games?
I care. As a player.
Innovation is important, but not for the sake of it. If someone creates a game just to make it innovative I could not care less. Create a game that is fun and innovative and you have my vote on it.
So will my next game be fun and innovative. I’m sure it will be more fun than innovative.
Few days ago my friend Kittanate send me interesting concept. He’s working on a game about Tuk Tuk. Tuk Tuk is a kind of taxi that is very popular in Thailand. The player task is to complete quest received from non-player characters. And one of those NPC’s will be Tom. Here’s the first sketch. Enjoy.
