There would be more uniquely American games if development was more creator-oriented and focused on individuality.
And more uniquely European games…
Uniquely “other Asian countries” games…
Uniquely “other North American countries” games…
African, South American, Australian…
Heck, most of what we have in Antarctica is heavily protected, expensive computing equipment. We might get to see uniquely Antarctican games at some point!

I believe that Tribe Nine had the potential be a great game, even a better gacha than Zenless Zone Zero. However, if the company that was in charge of Tribe Nine hadn’t gotten greedy and stupid with Tribe Nine’s launch, then we wouldn’t have it at a EOS state. I don’t blame Kodaka, I blame the company.

Individuality? That’s certainly not a Japanese mentality. I agreed with Spike Chunsoft staying home for connections, but this opinion won’t help his team get collaborations. It might even scare other development teams off. Anti家. This is not a good first step.

This is honestly such a load of crock. Anyone can be an indie dev these days and there are indie Japanese games. Kimi ga Shine/Your Turn to Die is a huge example of this and a fairly popular JP indie game, translated by vgperson. The problem is that most Japanese indie games specifically just pander to Japanese people, so they never see any broader appeal. Again, the problem isn’t “Japan does not make indie games”, it’s a matter of those indie games never really gaining any overseas popularity because they’re either not really FOR overseas audiences or have anything that appeals to those audiences, most of the time. It also helps if the game is in English in addition to being in Japanese, or has someone bilingual make a translation for the game. Translators are a great way to broaden a game’s audience.

Putting the human factor at the center of creation really is something important and sadly, I feel it’s being forgotten these days.
