I notice that there is a lot more of these oldschool shooters cropping up lately. Its a passion of mine to work on these kinds of projects as well. I wonder if there is a way I can align myself to take advantage of this trend.

It’s deffo a trend, I guess a response to bloated, open world AAA games. Or maybe, better said, a complement… you might want the quick session when you can’t sit down for 2+ hours.
Anyway if one indie can gather attention the niche is probably ready to gobble another well-put-together small-scope shooter. Problem is getting that attention!

I wonder if being one of the first devs to break into the blockchain smart contract territory would be enough to get that attention. The problem is that in order to do that medium of design I need to figure out how to do it without the need for dedicated servers / trusted 3rd party. Turn based strategy games can easily be done this way but first person shooters usually require some kind of dedicated server setup. Otherwise cheating just ruins the in game economy.
I have thought about a few different solutions but nothing has really stuck yet.
The only other thing I think would be to get my hands on a IP like Sin or Duke Nukem maybe... The odds of that are kinda zero.
Warframe does not use dedicated servers. So its not impossible that a system like that may work.
Over the last week or so iv had an urge to play some old retro games from my childhood like doom, blood or even good old duke but came across this and its just released today! and (quote) its "the first full game to be made using the Build Engine in over 20 years!" Brilliant .. might jst pick this up when i get the chance.
Played the first few levels, can pretty much confirm it owns hard. It's like the dictionary definition of a good game.
Its really great fun. And the level design, detail etc. is just superb!
