“There are games created by one person, or by small teams, simply because the creators wanted to. They are created because of the passion of these people towards their art. This passion is not something that can be imitated with huge budgets and large teams,” said Shunji Mizutani, Executive Producer, PLAYISM. “These are the games that we have supported for almost a decade. These, are Indie Games.”
