Hello, and welcome to another episode of Talk This! It’s Dangerous to Podcast Alone. This week, we’re talking about the definition of an indie game. It’s a cool game. A neat game. A funny game.
As always, you can listen to our podcast basically anywhere you want. Check it out on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, and Pandora (or head over to our episodes page for even more options). Or just listen below!
The Topic
What is an indie game? What’s the technical definition and how is it normally used by the average person? Where did the term “indie” come from? Is the categorization actually useful? Does it make sense to have a “best indie” award?
The Actual Discussion
We talk about all the things that people associate with indie games and all the things we don’t. We try to find our own definition and mostly fail. After all, indie is a somewhat useless way to identify something at this point. We also go into The Game Awards controversy a bit.
