	Indie gaming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Indie gaming is a term for games that are made independently (hence "Indie") without the financial backing of any major publisher or company.
		The origins of Indie Video Gaming trace back to the seventies, when basically all games fell under the 'indie' heading since there was virtually no established computer gaming industry.
		During the 90's, indie games were known more commonly as simply shareware games, though the term has a more derogatory connotation nowadays when indie games are competing with their big-budget corporate bretheren.

		Influenced by console RPGs, a large group of young programmers and aficionados began creating independent CRPG games, based mostly on the gameplay and style of the older SNES and Genesis games.
		The representation of RPG elements in first and third person shooters is indistinguishable from the game simply incorporating a story with cut-scences and traditional FPS problem solving, and developments to the incorporation of the genres usual character building (such as getting better weapons).

		These games are often more colorful and bright than their western counterparts and include the Japanese inclination to use a very loose fantasy world not strongly based on actual folklore or medieval times (perhaps because of a lack of familiarity thereof), but with arguably more influence from Japanese comics (manga) and cartoons (anime).
		Most games use a level-based advancement with little customization involved, with level 1 as the basic level of power in the game and level 99 as the top, but recent games tend to include some customization, like occupations that can be leveled as well.
		These games are often more dark, almost like horror in design and art, and the characters featuring in these games are rendered or drawn in a more realistic way according to western styles, with armor, weapons, and so on being drawn based on actual counterparts in the Middle Ages.

		The game was poorly positioned, both from a branding perspective and from a game concept perspective.
		Near the beginning of the game, you should show the player an example of how the hero is flawed, so that at the end of the game, he can see how the hero has been transformed.
		With a weak premise, or no premise, a game leaves the player feeling the story is out of control, and that is the biggest lack I see in game stories--usually games don’t have a strong premise, a strong statement about life, or the way the world is, or the way the world should be.
