I would say Star Citizen is the biggest budget indie game thus far, if that's what you mean. It's raised 90+ million USD.

I'm talking about "profile", Star Citizen did 2.1 mil on KS. They sold additional content after that.

Even if you look at it, SEGA was the only one that let the real IP to be used. A lot of them are platonic succesors.

In terms of profile, yeah I would say Shenmue 3 is the highest profile indie game ever made just based on its E3 exposure. It's arguable Witcher 3 is an independent game, but they have share holders now (even if the founders are the majority owner) so not really.

It confuses me why some games can get backing out of no where yet Shenmue really struggles to obtain publisher backing.

I'm reading through this article about Nier's sequel and I am surprised its being made considering the poor sales of the original. Not only that, they also have Platinum Games on board to do the develppment.

I enjoyed Nier, beautiful and tragic game.. but still perplexed by why certain titles get funding.

I hope that Sony throws Suzuki a few extra million to help flesh out his vision for Shenmue 3.

I'm most concerned about having enough for the player to do in Bailu Village and Choubu.

Hopefully we get to spend enough time in these areas before getting whisked away to Baisha where the majority of the games content will be concentrated.
