Creativity is what makes and defi nes many people. It can be seen in art, music, the media and even video games. Independent video games, otherwise known as indie games, often showcase this creativity in its purest form. Indie games are developed by individuals or small teams without video game pub- lisher fi nancial support. Indie games often focus on in- novation and rely on digital distribution.
