Nier creator Yoko Taro thinks the indie game dev scene is "too intimidating for me to even think of entering": "It's not something an old man like me should be attempting"

Nier Automata director Yoko Taro.

Nier mastermind Yoko Taro has created plenty of outstanding games during his career, but that doesn't mean he thinks he'd be able to tackle today's "fiercely competitive" indie market, as he reckons he'd be "instantly wiped out."

Speaking in a recent interview with Automaton, Yoko reacts to Homura Hime – a new indie action game from Crimson Dusk that's inspired by the Nier series. As well as sharing plenty of praise for the game itself, he goes on to discuss the indie scene more widely, as the Crimson Dusk devs ask him if it's something he's interested in.
