Homogenisation of Western Studios? Sequals and remakes? This was pointed out by X user Jade Law about the games coming out from summer games fest. Seems like most of the New IPs and Indie games are coming from Asia?

Maybe its true Indie games will have more interesting games than AAA.

🔎 Interesting Finds

China 🇨🇳 Intends to Clone the Whole 🎮 Gaming Industry.

From Belinda Ercan Youtube

An interesting documentary on the China Gaming Industry how they make products by copying them. This is not unique as it happened in the early 2000s with China being a manufacturing hub of electronics which has given rise to tech giants like Huawei and Tencent.

I feel that its more cultural and due to education. China have to do a lot of Route learning due to its language where you learn to memorise for the answer.

I do feel that we learn by copying things, like right now I am learning to clone Vampire Survivirs to learn Godot but that is for learning.

But to make something stand out in the marketplace you have to apply the learning differently. When making my own game, one way is to redesign my own game mechanics and have a different theme applied to the game, that is if I am going to sell it. Product Differentiation is Key.
