Same. I am into niche table top rpg, boardgames and video games. The number of high quality low budget productions has never been higher. Just check the number of submissions on the Fishblade jam: https://itch.io/jam/fishblade-2023-game-jam. I am following a youtube streamer publishing a let's play/analysis of a different indie game every single day. A lot of those games have strong communities.

The world is really big.
