Keiji Inafune's studio Comcept and Bit. Trip developer Gaijin Games are also named in a list of more than 30 Xbox One indie developers published today.
Full List:"We've shipped dev kits to more than 50 studios and, as we said at Gamescom, this first wave of developers is just the start," he wrote.
They did say they were going to with experienced developers first to get it going but I think its a good list.It's a great start for sure. It does feel a little bit like a 'greatest hits' of indie developers in that list, but it's definitely a positive step in the right direction.
You tell me:LittleBigPlanet Vita's developers.
They haven't made any other games Microsoft could have used?
It'd be bizarre for them to miss out on Transistor.Originally Posted by Steverulez

Can't wait to see more.
I did notice ID@Xbox were following Supergiant Games (Bastion/Transistor) sort of surprised they're not on the list
if the platform opens up to windows apps with $99 fee, we will see a lot more..It's a great start for sure. It does feel a little bit like a 'greatest hits' of indie developers in that list, but it's definitely a positive step in the right direction.
If it opens to windows apps, it'll means....absolutely nothing that store is more anemic than Wiishopchannel lately.Originally Posted by DopeyFish

I would be super excited for that just for Indies and media apps (multiple dlna options, slingcatcher, NAS stuff, home automation (esp if IR codes are usable by all))
You do know that Crytek is an independent studio right?Crytek as indie?
That's inline with their e3 presentation.
"We care about indie!"
*Shows MSFT published/funded minecraft port that is indie only by the IP owner*

And I'm not talking about windows phone apps.
Yeah, this is what I want to see at some point.Originally Posted by James Coote
There's a bunch of indies making games with Unity or in their own c++/DirectX11/Windows8 engines right now, so that when Microsoft eventually flip the switch and allow retail Xbox One's to be devkits, there'll be a fair few games ready or nearly ready to go straight to the approvals process
Always the glass is half empty with you guys. There is still a bunch of new titles to play on the X1. Microsoft being behind in their independent games development program is just perception created by the fact the competition made it a marketing point. If 10 independent games were released today on the X1, they would see little exposure compared to the AAA titles.Originally Posted by chubigans
Man, they are so far behind in this.
Anyone of them can sign up to self publish via the ID@XBOX program.Woopedido.
I guess they should invite Respawn too since they're independant too!
Heck invite Ninja theory while you're at it!
You do realize that it is a self-publishing platform, not just for indie develpers right? Making yourself look stupid.Woopedido.
