How to Make an Indie Game Solo

It is no secret that game development has become an incredibly challenging industry where large studios invest millions and spend months or even years on a single project. Games like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt or World of Warcraft were in the state of development for between 3 and 5 years, let alone created by the joint effort of large-scale companies. According to research, 17% of PC and console games were labeled “indie” in 2022, as opposed to 13% in 2021. So, is it possible to develop a PC, console, or mobile game solo? Let us start from the beginning. Well, the world-known classic Tetris was first created by a single person. The same goes for more modern titles like Pinstripe, Braid, or Axiom Verge.
