My friend cliffsky who made the good simulation game Democracy, complained in forums that there are very few indie simulation games. That’s true, I can remember only a few more, and I talk about real simulation games and not sim games for kids like Lemonade Tycoon 😉
Who knows… maybe is more profitable to do easier simulation games, or simply other kind of games that require less time to program and test!
Surely is easier to make a “match 3 color game” than a complex military/strategic simulation… 😉
