Re: RJ113419 - Dungeons and Prisoners
I don't think ILL is technically the only person who's worked on this game. The scripts he's using for the game, whilst modified, do appear to be based on other scripts which might be in the public domain (maybe, not sure on that fact, and I've not looked into this in any great detail so I could be wrong). Also RPGMaker in general and the effort Enterbrain puts into that.
This being said, it's a similar thing that you see in every game industry. Indies take risks with the form and content of the game, whereas big companies typically stick with the same formula time and time again, because they are risk averse. The only real difference in the eroge industry is that typically the big companies aren't actually working with that big budgets anyway, so the distance between the quality of a good indie eroge title and a normal companies eroge title isn't as great.
