Microsoft's reveal of its next-gen console, the Xbox One (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/xbox-reveal/), was high on broad entertainment apps such as Skype (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/05/21/xbox-one-allows-group-skype-video-calls/), interactive programming (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/05/21/smartglass-evolves-on-xbox-one/), media management (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/05/21/xbox-one-snap-mode-lets-apps-run-simultaneously/) and Kinect-powered features (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/05/21/next-gen-kinect-sensor-unveiled-for-xbox-one/). Games saw a smaller showing, with two new announcements and a trailer for Call of Duty: Ghosts. Indie games got an even smaller nod – that is, none at all.
E3 is right around the corner, with the Microsoft conference on June 10. Maybe that's where all of the Xbox One games are hiding, along with the console's indie plan. We asked a handful of indie developers what Microsoft's presentation today said to them specifically, and what they want to see at E3. Below we have responses from Rami Ismail of Ridiculous Fishing (http://www.joystiq.com/game/ridiculous-fishing) fame,Octodad (http://www.joystiq.com/game/octodad-2)'s Philip Tibitoski, DLC Quest (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/dlc-quest)'s Ben Kane, Charlie Murder (http://www.joystiq.com/game/charlie-murder)'s James Silva,Retro City Rampage (http://www.joystiq.com/game/retro-city-rampage)'s Brian Provinciano and Fez (http://www.joystiq.com/game/fez)'s Phil Fish.
