Independent Videogames investigates the social and cultural
implications of contemporary forms of independent video game
development. Through a series of case studies and theoretical
investigations, it evaluates the significance of such a
multi-faceted phenomenon within video game and digital cultures. A
diverse team of scholars highlight the specificities of
independence within the industry and the culture of digital gaming
through case studies and theoretical questions. The chapters focus
on labor, gender, distribution models and technologies of
production to map the current state of research on independent game
development. The authors also identify how the boundaries of
independence are becoming opaque in the contemporary game industry
- often at the cost of the claims of autonomy, freedom and
emancipation that underlie the indie scene. The book ultimately
imagines new and better narratives for a less exploitative and more
inclusive videogame industry. Systematically mapping the current
directions of a phenomenon that is becoming increasingly difficult
to define and limit, this book will be a crucial resource for
scholars and students of game studies, media history, media
industries and independent gaming.
