The chapters focus on labor, gender, distribution models and technologies of production to map the current state of research on independent game development. Through a series of case studies and theoretical investigations, it evaluates the significance of such a multi-faceted phenomenon within video game and digital cultures.A diverse team of scholars highlight the specificities of independence within the industry and the culture of digital gaming through case studies and theoretical questions.
