yes thats true josh everything is going indie which for us is a good thing.
The small guys are approachable at least.
Some can't for various reasons be able to make their stuff work but I
have noticed some can be especially on the ren py front.
Ofcause some are just students but a lot of the newer games 2015 and
up are accessable out the box just pick your style and have at it.

multi million dollar companies! My son really likes minecraft.
that's an indi game. dota2 on steam, I'm pretty sure its an indi
game also. games can be made by indipendent devs and still be excellent.

Hi John.
While those are good suggestions, at the same time I will correct
the point that "mainstream" in the sense most people mean is a much
different beast. A mainstream title would have a budget in the
hundreds of thousands and have perhaps a staff of a couple of
hundred working flat out for weeks on end, designers, graphic
artists, coders by the score, managers etc, indeed the voice actors
and such are usually the last to be employed.
This is why the gap is unrealistic. Yes, some of the mainstream
games pproduced now have some very unique mechanics (although there
are those who argued that like big hollywood films they're now all
special effects).
This isn't to say some sort of unified project wouldn't be a bad
idea assuming that A, you could get several individual coders to
agree on a set of programming language tools and conventions, only
that even if you raised ten thousand dollars for the project that
would still be a drop in the ocean.
Beware the grue!
