10 Hottest Gaming Trends To Keep An Eye On

The unfortunate truth for some of the bigger game developers out there is that they cannot afford to experiment too much with their games, for fear of not meeting publishers or shareholders expectations.

This often results in developers sticking to traditional forms of games which appeal to a large audience, but can fail to stand out from the crowd.

That is precisely where indie game developers come in.

Without having to worry about publishers interfering with their games or being forced to meet unrealistic deadlines, indie devs can focus on making whatever titles they are passionate about, taking more creative risks that larger studios cannot.

This leads to a larger variety of games to choose from and a better chance for some of them to take off, due to their unique nature.

The result is a massive boom in the indie gaming market, with some releases becoming the biggest hits of the year, getting nominated for the most prestigious awards in the industry.

With the indie game segment on Steam alone valued at over $1 billion back in 2018, it looks like indie development is only going to increase.
