Thread: Indie developers primesc devkit-uri PS4 gratuit!

    Indie developers primesc devkit-uri PS4 gratuit!

    Dupa stirea prin care aflam ca Microsoft in sfarsit isi deschide portile developerilor indie, nu a trecut mult pana am vazut o reactie din partea celor de la Sony. Din mai multe surse care se ocupa de development pentru PS4 aflam ca desi un devkit costa aproximativ 2.500 USD, cei de la Sony il ofera gratuit pe o perioada limitata tuturor celor care se inregistreaza in serviciul de indie development. Desi perioada este de doar un an, eu zic ca e mare lucru, in special pentru cei care nu-si permit asemenea sume la inceput. Not bad Sony, not bad!

    Va reamintesc ca in trecut pentru PS3 un devkit se plateau intre 1.000 si 10.000 USD (in functie de nivelul de debug si functii dorite). Totodata, desi devkit-urile de Xbox One costa doar 500 USD, se plateste o taxa pentru folosirea acestora. Din pacate, cei de la Microsoft refuza sa faca publica suma respectiva, dar zvonurile spun ca ar fi vorba de cateva mii de dolari pe an.

    Mai jos aveti si cateva citate:
    "All the indies I know got them for free," said one developer. "Sony has been amazing about kits and development thus far."

    "Self-publishing has been available on PlayStation platforms for over five years, so it's nothing new," said a spokesperson for Sony. "The process of devs bringing their games to market has continued to evolve, and PlayStation has led the charge in adapting and embracing new publishing rules to allow for more creative freedom for developers."

    The spokesperson pointed toward Sony's loaner dev kit program, as well as other support mechanisms. "With self-publishing, we keep things really flexible for developers and give them lots of options, including funding through the Pub Fund, which is back-end funding paid upon completion of the game, we waive patch fees for indies and all digital titles and we embrace new business models like F2P, episodic and subscriptions. We've had more than 500 games self-published on PSN."

    "By and large, indie development has become extremely accessible, especially on our platform," said the spokesperson. "We offer a lot of freedom and flexibility and we've built our in-PS Store promotions around indie titles and their launch dates. Also, we provide indies with additional support like putting them on stage at E3, hosting indie-focused events like our Indie Arcade at GDC, etc. Most importantly, our Developer Relations team has really developed relationships with the devs. They talk daily, offer advice and really advocate for them and their particular needs."

    Microsoft a promis ca dupa lansare fiecare Xbox One va avea functiile unui dev kit. Nu stiu cat de realisti sunt, dar nu si-o iau asa rau cum crezi tu.

    Si zic asta din pozitia unui om care a precomandat doar PS4

    Am scris si eu un articol legat de Xbox One si politica lor asupra jocurilor indie.Cutia in sine va fi dev-kit dar dezvoltatorii vor trebui sa cumpere o cheie de deblocare.

    Ambele companii ajuta foarte mult indie developerii, dar sincer eu m-as baza mai mult pe Sony. Daca e sa comparam trecutul ambelor corporatii, Sony intotdeauna a fost mai friendly cu developerii sai (dev kit-uri pt Vita oferite gratis, reclame pe PS Store gratis, booth-uri platite de cei de la Sony pentru indie developeri la event-uri precum E3, categorie speciala pentru jocurile indie pe PS Store.. iar situatia continua sa devina tot mai buna). Microsoft in schimb au fost criticati de foarte multe studio-uri indie care le-au adus un profit imens intr-un timp destul de scurt (Fez, Super Meat Boy, Limbo etc) si au inceput sa fie mai "generosi" doar acum cand observa cati bani pierd din toata treaba asta (The Witness care va fi un hit aproape cu siguranta (doar e facut de acelasi om care ne-a adus Braid ) e un timed exclusive GRATIS, doar pentru ca cei de la Sony au fost mai de treaba decat cei de la Microsoft). La fel si cu muuuuulte alte studio-uri. La Microsoft singurul studio indie care le-a atras atentia a fost Mojang pentru ca ...oh well... Minecraft e o mina de aur indiferent de platforma.

    Nu sunt hater, nu sunt fanboy dar eu urmaresc cu foarte multa atentie ce se intampla in lumea indie (sper intr-o zi sa lucrez si eu acolo ), si observ ca Microsoft au inceput sa primeasca si ei laude de o luna, doua doar, in timp ce Sony ajuta studio-urile indie de ceva ani buni (in ciuda faptului ca era foarte greu sa faci jocuri pe PS3, cum sustinea lumea).

    Anyway sper ca miscarea celor de la Microsoft sa nu fie doar de ochii lumii si intr-adevar sa ajute indie developerii. Asta ar insemna mai multe jocuri unice pentru noi gamerii

    Adevarul e ca atat Sony cat si Microsoft pentru Xbox si PlayStation se vor baza intotdeauna pe titlurile mari. Da, sunt cativa indie developers care au avut succes... dar sa nu uitam ca a da drumul la "toti nebunii" ar fi grav. Ganditi-va ca fiecare joc trebuie testat cap coada, analizat, verificat... Altfel apare un indie care nu face un joc decat sa exploateze securitatea sistemului... si a doua zi dupa lansare o sa avem toti niste fiare numai bune de aruncat. E un risc pe care nu si-l poate asuma nici unul nici altul.
