The voxel art direction also invaded other genres, specifically the shooter genre with Ace of Spades and Guncraft. It did, and the result was a wealth of copycat games like Castle Miner Z, Fortresscraft, Block Story, and Trove. If Notch and Mojang could do it, why couldn’t other indie developers? When I got the game in beta I never thought that in an industry that prides itself on high-fidelity graphics a game that looked like Minecraft would become so popular. The graphical style is known as “voxels” and it’s incredibly simple to make a game with massive squares. The game looked like it was drawn with an etch a sketch but allowed you to build a golden statue of male genitalia appealed to basically everyone on the internet.
CASTLE MINER Z SPACE ROCK UPDATE
Minecraft’s success once it launched the 1.0 Adventure Update is one of the best success stories in indie game history. There are some really good ones, like Zomboid and State of Decay, but the bad outweigh the good. When you look on steam early access and you see the huge pool of titles in this genre, it’s almost sickening. Holy crap it felt like everyone and their grandmother was making a survival game with zombies in it. Zombie games have existed in the past, like House of the Dead, Dead Rising, Resident Evil etc., but about four years ago we had a massive influx of a single genre, Zombie Survival. I am a fan of the show and comic, but seriously the success of the show really skyrocketed the zombie game genre’s massive popularity.
CASTLE MINER Z SPACE ROCK TV
I would like to attribute this fad to one TV show that seemed to make zombies cool again: The Walking Dead. Without further delay, here are some of the worst gaming fads in the last five years! Things are good in moderation, and boy have we blown way past that point. Love them or hate them, these have been some major gaming fads over the past few years, and man they can honestly get pretty annoying. These are some of the fads that have become popular over the last 5 years, from zombies to nearly pointless simulators. Thanks to the internet we can now see all of the fads rise and become something gamers either love or hate. However, massive success creates fads in the gaming world. It’s simple capitalism and sometimes you can get some really interesting games. As a game becomes popular, publishers and developers take the hint and try to capitalize on said popularity.
