Indie Game Movement

The Indie Game Movement refers to a trend where independent developers create video games outside major studio systems, often with limited budgets and resources. This movement emphasizes creativity, innovation, and personal expression over commercial pressures. Indie games typically showcase unique art styles, storytelling, and gameplay mechanics, often resulting in innovative titles that might not emerge from traditional big-name publishers. The movement gained momentum with accessible development tools and distribution platforms like Steam and itch.io, allowing smaller creators to reach global audiences and challenge the dominance of large, corporate game publishers.
