Indie/dependent: incubating indies in Dublin and Montreal

This post offers an introduction to a new comparative research project being conducted by Aphra Kerr and Tamara Shepherd, which started with discussions at Culture Digitally workshops and continued through a Dobbin Scholarship funded research visit by Tamara to Dublin in February 2014. Aphra and Tamara are investigating how policy measures and incubators have impacted the independent game development scenes in Dublin and Montreal and what the term ‘indie’ means to people working in the industry.
