After the “Dave the Diver” nomination for Best indie Game at the Game Awards, I’ve been struggling to draw a clear line here.

I feel like, yes, Dave the Diver feels very Indie to “me” but it’s hard to say that of the studio itself.

Is the “Indie feel” something bigger studios might look to imitate in the future?

I might get behind something like that.

Ori and the Blind Forest/Will of the Wisps?

Made by a smaller studio but published by Microsoft

That was my very first thought. It has all of the indie vibes, but was published by the OG evil tech company.
