Indie is short for Independent. That means by yourself. An indie game is a game that one person made, all alone. No help from others.It is important to have a firm, unwavering definition, because if you let these freaks have an inch, they will take a mile and you wind up with multimillion dollar studios with 700 employees winning Indie Game of the Year. Don't let them get away with it. Indie means "one guy".
So what do you call it when 2 people work on a game

>>738044796Echoes of the Living was also a husband and wife team.
>>738044678Indie never meant solo no matter how much you try to change the definition. It doesn't mean "poor" either.
>>738044858Independent has always meant by yourself you stupid little freak. You're the changer. But you can't change facts :) Mutilate your genitals all you want, it won't make you a boy.
