INDY INFO

by Chris Fitzgerald · in General Discussion · 01/03/2003 (2:25 pm) · 1 replies

What is the best way for an indy developer to obtain a SDK from a major console vendor? I understand that there is a substantial monetary commitment involved but that is not a problem. What I need to know is who to talk to, and what they are looking for. If anyone has had any experience in this area, I would appreciate some info.

    Consoles aren't really viable for indies to develop on. Games that are to be developed and published for consoles typically have to be approved by the owner of the console(so developing for PS2 would require sony approving your project). They are really only interested in the next big name title with and endless budget that will sell a billion copies. Pretty much makes it impossible for indies to have any chance in that market.
