Once dismissed as niche passion projects, indie games have risen to reshape the entire gaming industry. In this episode of Game-Loft Cast, we explore how small teams with big visions created titles like Celeste, Hades, Undertale, and Stardew Valley—games that rival AAA giants in heart, innovation, and impact. From digital storefronts to crowdfunding revolutions, discover how indie developers rewrote the rules of creativity and proved you don’t need a massive budget to make a masterpiece.
