Thanks for the links. Tried a few out and they were quite interesting.
IMO, the two most exciting things that is happening right now is the Occulus Rift and independent developers.
I've had a bunch of games in my head that I'd love to build and it turns out there are plenty of indie developers who have had the same idea but are actually building them.
My current sci-fi list:
- RimWorld
- The Mandate
- Satelite Reign
Maybe they just fit my more bite-sized appetite these days rather than for a 30-course-meal type of game, but the experimentation really captures something that, I think, drew me to games in the first place.
