DCS 2013 In Review Part 1: The Ones That Escaped

Post by cube_b3 »


There’s a famous quote by Bruce Campbell, “The weird thing about indies is that they are not released – they escape“. What he said is ambiguous but what he clearly meant was that indie projects take a long time to complete.

I remember almost a decade ago at Midwest Gaming Classic 2006 when Dan Loosen of Goat Store Publishing announced 12 new commercial indie titles. To date, only one of the 12 titles have seen the light of day, with many being cancelled, though some, like Age of the Beast, are still actively in development.

So if you are a seasoned indie gamer, you might already know that release dates mean nothing. Though delays are more understandable with indie developers, mainly because their work on the project is usually carried out in their spare time as most developers have full-time jobs.

With the introduction out of the way, 2013 started off as a very promising year for the Dreamcast. In the above video, GagaMan states that we had seven games in development, though I will actually be discussing 10 games. Let’s start with the ones that escaped - Dux 1.5 and Sturmwind.

I'm a little pressed for time, so I just did a quick news post.
If anybody wants they can move it to the Wiki.

Otherwise I will add it to the Wiki once all parts are concluded.

Out of curiosity, what was the context where Bruce Campbell said that?

I thought it was 10 not 12 titles that GOAT had in development for 2006.

Their was confusion on the internet towards the number of titles announced I had to dig threw our forum archives to find the correct number. I also contacted Dan before publishing the article.
