Help a Writer Out (Again): Indie Development in 2024

[DJohnston]

It's me again. I was here two years ago gathering surveys: Well, I'm back.

Every year, I write an article on the video game market called State of Indie, and every year I try to make it better than the previous one. Here's the last one:

The Return of David: The State of Indie Games in 2023 and Beyond

There was a moment in 2023 when all eyes in the video game space were on the indie scene — but for all the wrong reasons

For the 2024 edition, I want to get a broader cross-section of developers, so in addition to the longer surveys I also have a shorter one that's meant to gauge the overall feel of the market. It'll take less than five minutes to answer my questions and you'll be doing me a big favor.

You are eligible to take this survey if:

• You have released a game in 2024, or;
• You intend to release a game in 2024.

I'm taking a pretty broad understanding here, so "releasing a game" includes:

• Non-commercial games
• Paid DLC for existing games
• Major content patches for existing games
• A game exiting Early Access

My goal is to get at least 100 responses before November, so feel free to share this with any other developers you know.

If you weren't planning to, you should definitely put this up at ResetEra too. Quite a few industry folks frequent it.

Check in with staff if it's alright first tho, otherwise you might incur mod wrath.
