Indie game development

Okay, let me explain this to you like you're five. Indie game development means making video games, but not in a big company with lots of people helping. Instead, one or a few people work on the game from their computers at home or in a small office. They do everything from coming up with the idea, creating the characters and levels, making the game play fun, and fixing any problems that come up. It's like making a toy for yourself and your friends to play with, but instead of a toy, it's a game that lots of people can play on their computers, phones, or game consoles. Sometimes, indie game developers will get help from other people, but they usually don't have as much money as big game companies, so they have to do a lot of it themselves. Indie games can be really creative and unique because the developers don't have to follow a lot of rules like big companies do, so they can make games that are really fun and different from anything else out there.
