520 |a Games made by independent developers, outside of the typical studio system, have existed since the advent of video games themselves. Only with the introduction of digital downloads and easy-to-access game engines, however, was the potential for indie games truly unlocked. 50 Indie Games that Changed the World is the ultimate celebration of this era, telling the stories of 50 of the most influential indie games of all time, using original interviews, commentary and perspectives from the people who made them. With a foreword by Mike Bithell, this beautifully laid out and extensively researched book documents the genesis of some of the best indie games ever made, from intense Roguelikes, like Hades, Rogue Legacy and Spelunky, to emotional heavyweights like Limbo, Journey and Hyper Light Drifter. It's an unabashed deep dive into the effort and creativity it takes to get an indie game made, either as a small team or an ambitious solo developer. Spanning a myriad of different genres and art styles, these are the titles responsible for birthing the modern indie game scene as we know it today.
