A story belongs to Indie Games when publisher-free release provides the main subject and festival discovery or distinct art direction supplies necessary context. Questions about self-publishing route, creative risk and platform featuring keep the description tied to a real implementation rather than a marketing term.
Articles assess prototype funding, small-team scope and financial runway against the named game, build and platform instead of assuming universal support. By examining community playtest and independent studio, the page shows where support or design choices materially alter the experience. A neighbouring page is more appropriate whenever Indie Games is merely supporting context rather than the central issue.
