There are plenty of Jap cozy games like Animal Crossing which I mentioned itt, and they pioneered the genre with Harvest Moon iirc.
Westerners don't improve on anything. Westerners are useless when they're not INNOVATING, and suck at making incremental Engineering improvements. And it's not a "blind spot" that's unique to indies. The problem is that every single indie is WESTERN and western games have been strictly RENT-ONLY with exceptions granted in rare, limited cases since the 1983 gaming crash.
I bought the Turok 2 remaster for like $5 or downloaded it for free last month and it was HORRIBLE. I beat the entire first level which was labyrinthian af and was told that I Failed and had to go back to the beginning because I missed some obscure objective or another. Imagine if I'd paid $70 in 1998 for this, jfc. It's always been like this. Mortal Kombat - Scummy and lurid; Street Fighter - a tour de force with exquisite gameplay a the series progressed. You just have to be very careful with western-made games because they are so often so thoroughly horrible.
