Founder of IndieGameStand explains why they can help augment Steam Greenlight

Exposure is the holy grail of all up and coming indie developers. It's what they rely on to get their name out there for people to try their bizarre and often fantastic creations. With the launch of Steam Greenlight, indie developers have more ways than ever before to garner that exposure. However, Michael Gnade's IndieGameStand looks to one up the competition by introducing a perpetual 'pay what you want' service that does more than Steam Greenlight could ever hope to.

The indie co-op appeal

Indie gaming has always surprised me. It’s people or maybe even just a single dude, who take their own free time and resources to craft an experience from seemingly nothing. They don’t get paid to make it, there’s no business backing these guys, it’s all from their own minds and that’s damn impressive.


One of the reasons why I look forward to trying out other indie titles is due to their focus. Instead of trying to buy me in with unprecedented visuals and an unparalleled storyline, they usually just want you to have a good time. Of course there are some indie titles that have a great story and maybe even better aesthetic appeal, but I’m going to focus on two particular titles that are short and to the point.
