Portal Knight does a lot right, and I want to say that right out the gate. And I feel nothing is more true in this comparison than the marketplace for games that rely on crafting as their key mechanic. In the end, a lot of would-be wizards ended up finding jobs in careers that were nothing like what they planned, all because of saturation.
When graduation day came, it was a frigging fiasco with how many people were lined up for the exact same job. They eagerly tore through four years of college expecting to have the gates just open for them on the other side, but hadn’t considered there might be other folk with the exact same plan. When students were entering university at the turn of the century, they were surrounded by dot com startups and Silicon Valley magicians that printed money just by knowing C++ and Java.
It’s starting to feel like the gaming landscape, specifically the indie arena, is becoming like the programming market of the mid 2000s.
