I do find it somewhat aggravating that there are half a dozen threads discussing the apparent absence of new games and IP, while this thread, showing a game the OP refers to as "attempting to do something grand and unique," has so few views. It would seem the vocal groups here are asking for a large budget, untested and original IP to come out of a large brand name (the only group capable of spending such money), but refuse to look to the wealth of smaller developed titles.
Anything that isn't advertised on Steam isn't a game, if you read into the thoughts of such vocal individuals here, and even some that are still fall short.
