Independent games
So far we have only concentrated on big budget mainstream games like those made by Rockstar. However, we cannot neglect another sector of the videogames industry: The independent games market, often referred to as 'indie games.'
TASK: (even though you are not in Thursday I would like this task completed in time for Monday's lesson)
To be posted on your Blog.
Research what an independent game is.
In what ways are they different from Big blockbuster or AAA games?
Consider cost, pricing, marketing, distribution etc. what are the most popular indie games?
Once you have made it clear that you know what a indie game is, I would like you to pick an indie game to write a case study for. Tell us everything there is to know about your game, ready to present to the class on Monday.
