Topic: What kind of market is there for Dsi-ware

Hey guys,

You might remember me as the guy that is making Flipper. But right now I’m thinking about what to do after Flipper. I’m wondering what you guys would like to see on Dsi-ware.

For example; I made some experiments, and I can render a scene pretty much equal to Doom 3 (lot’s of polygons, light/shadows and bump mapping). It all looks pretty realistic and cool, but I have no idea if people are waiting for such a game (or rather have the happy-pixel style game that Flipper is).

Please copy and paste the form and fill it out (you can pick multiple)! Thanks in advance!

No preference.

But the other is ok too, depends really on the game.

[ x ] platformer (Mario, crash bandicoot) - As long as it's not super short. More levels is better than low price for me.
[ - ] shooter (contra, DooM)

I also wouldn't be opposed to a 3D serious game. I just feel that usually those games are better suited to retail where they can be longer and more immersive. If you can deliver a full, fairly long experience that doesn't feel like it's missing something that could have been added into a retail cartridge, I would totally be open to a more serious shooter or platformer on DSiWare. I do prefer a less realistic art style, because realistic graphics look better on more powerful consoles, where cartoony art styles can give you more graphics with less power imo.

Thanks for asking too!

I am way too lazy to think of something clever.

That's awesome that you're asking! I'd like a cartoony 2d platformer. There is a definite lack of these on the platform.

What I would like to see is a good horror game. Something that will really freak me out like the original Resident Evil.
Also, an on-rails shooter would not be a bad idea.

None of which is to say that I don't enjoy the alternatives...but I'm sure you're taking that into account. Also: can't wait for Flipper. It looks great.
