Description:

Presenting my research into indie developers' most common creative dilemma: how to satisfy contradictory needs and allowances given by various stakeholders, and the progress of technology.

From "collapse" of the commercial market, through games' influence on society and correlated pleasability and usability of them, to aspects that seem to be forgotten, such as playability and pushing technology to its limits.
