Indie Games: The Complete Introduction to Indie Gaming | Mike Diver
1 post
Everything you need to know about the exciting new trend of indie gaming. Independently made video games have become some of the most original, ingenious and successful games available on the market today. Matched against giant tech companies and their mammoth-budget franchises, indies, have demonstrated the extraordinary impact that individuals and small teams can have on the direction of the gaming world. Mike Diver takes us behind the scenes to explore this incredible movement, where freedom from major studios has allowed for near-infinite possibilities, revolutionizing gaming mechanics and remoulding genres. Including interviews with legendary developers such as Tim Schafer and David Braben as well as the brains behind newer studios such as The Chinese Room, Hello Games and Simogo, Indie Games introduces us to the personalities, the passion and the practicalities that have transformed an industry.

#topfiveoftheyear #gamesof2018
I got around to playing some really interesting games last year. Here are my favourites released in 2018:

Starting off is this fantastically cute, Simmiland. Made with very simple sprites, the game is a god sim where you use cards to grant gifts to your little people. There‘s a fair bit of strategy and discovery involved, which had me putting in a lot of hours and enjoyment into this tiny world.
