Sorry if this is off-topic but I want to get some input from the Warframe community on a hunch I have. I’ve been talking to the developers of a game about playing as a cellular organism and evolving into a complex creature - think Spore. And there’s this question about demographics, about whether this kind of game can appeal to an average person.
I think the kinds of players that might enjoy a game like Spore are the same kind of players who play Warframe and enjoy the infested aspects like Helminth. Or the players who play Starcraft or No Man’s Sky and like the living machine-organisms in those. People with a love for biological gaming. Does this idea make sense to other Warframe players, or am I talking nonsense?
Generally speaking I care little about the theme and more about the execution of a game. I’m gonna play a paperclip incremental game if it’s done well. Meanwhile you could make a fantasy warframe clone, call it wayfinders, and I might not be interested in it.
It’s all in the delivery, ideas are cheap.
