Glossary Entry: Homebrew Game

Quick Definition

These are games that are made by professional or amateur programmers during their free time rather than as part of a business venture.

A possible downside to this is that many are simple, buggy or abandoned. After all, they depend on the enthusiasm and time the developers can afford to put into them.

If enough momentum builds behind the project, it may blossom into an indie game.
