Microsoft denies the existence of an indie apocalypse, Memoranda is going to iOS, and Wargaming is releasing KKI – all this is in our digest for today.
1. There is no indie apocalypse,” said Agostino Simonetta, chief of ID@Xbox, in an interview with MCV. “To come into business, believing that it is worth making a game – and you will become rich… No, it doesn’t work anywhere,” he said in connection with the spread of the aforementioned term caused by the commercial failure of several companies. The success of some indies does not mean that everyone involved in independent development will be successful,” Agostino believes.
2. The Memoranda quest, which last week collected the necessary funds on Kickstarter to complete, will be released on iOS. The project required a suspiciously modest figure of $18 thousand. And he overcame this bar without any problems, collecting a large – but also small – amount of $ 25 thousand. The project, judging by the video, raises such serious topics as empathy, memory and loss.
3. Wargaming has pleased fans of its own brand and, in general, World War II tanks by releasing the World of Tanks: Generals KKI on iOS. The game is currently available only to iPad owners.
