The definition of an indie game seems to be a little foggier than it used to be. What do you think are the criteria for a title to be counted as an indie game? Team size, independent publishing, budget, something else, or a combination of things? #TuesdayThoughts #IndieDev #IndieGames

Totally agree, and or was great to see the devs avoided some of the classic point and click pitfalls. It was a very smooth and enjoyable gaming experience.

Wax Heads is a labor of love. We hand-drew *everything*, created all original music, & agonized over every line of dialogue.

It's a celebration of music, community, friends, human creativity and more!
