Fantastic titles made by people in their bedrooms.

I thought all of those were undisputed indies? Also good one for recommending Recettear, the japanese indie scene is almost lost media since they used to sell their games as physical disks at events, very few ended up on steam, it's a pain in the ass trying to find stuff that's not on there.

I believe a number of them have publisher/port deals with big studios, so I wasn't sure if that would disqualify them in some eyes, but yes I consider all of them fully indie-developed games.

I see, yeah it's complex, but people still think of devolver games as indies since they basically only help with marketing and localization I think? This discussion happened with Bastion too but the devs said Warner only helped them to get on consoles and steam, it was self-funded.
