TL;DR
- Indie developers are creating new games reminiscent of the Star Fox series due to Nintendo's lack of new entries.
- Publishers are often risk-averse, viewing the arcade flight shooter genre as 'dead', forcing developers to seek alternative funding like crowdfunding.
- Developers are drawing inspiration from Star Fox, other games, and their own childhood experiences to recapture the genre's appeal.
- The revival of this genre is seen as a response to a gaming industry that has become more conservative and trend-chasing.
- The success of games like Ace Combat 7 suggests an audience for flight shooters, though funding remains a challenge for indie developers.
