I think the reason for my optimism stems from the fact that I'm one of those indies developing an AG. If I wasn't optimistic about my chances for the game, or my love of the indie AG community, I would be sorta wasting my time!

See-I think that there are some indie rock bands that produce fantastic music-that if they were around at the same time as Judas, they would be as popular today. Nostalgia tends to cloud rational judgement. I have fond memories of The Goonies, but watched about 15 minutes of it a few years ago and turned it off. I would prefer to live with the memories.

My point is really that I believe that the future of the genre lies in the hands of the fans.
I also think that nostalgia is really clouding the points of view of many adventure gamers. If GEMENI RUE was released at the same time of BASS, it would be considered a classic.
