Videogames, Independent games, Indie games, Post-digitalAbstract
This paper discusses the link between the post-digital era and the independent game development scene, stating the converging and diverging aspects betwixt both. Thus, we approach some of the post-digital society’s strengths as well as the independency amongst videogames. It is hoped, in this sense, to connect characteristics, motivations, potentialities, challenges and differences uniting indie game’s independency markers and post-digital characteristics.
