Indie developers often release games that gain huge popularity despite smaller budgets. Is their success driven by creativity, community engagement, or willingness to experiment with new ideas?
I think indie games take creative risks, which is quite rare for big studios. Indie game developers also focus on unique gameplay, and connect closely with their communities.
Indie games compete by focusing on creativity, unique ideas, and strong player connection. Without big budgets, they often deliver fresh mechanics, distinctive art styles, and meaningful experiences.
