Independent and Casual Games Articles

From GPWiki

The Game Programming Wiki has moved!

The wiki is now hosted by GameDev.NET at wiki.gamedev.net. All gpwiki.org content has been moved to the new server.

However, the GPWiki forums are still active! Come say hello.

Welcome to the Independent and Casual Games Articles section on GPWiki. Here we will try to gather information that will be helpful to independent and casual game developers.

Please feel free to add new articles, edit existing articles, and talk about content issues on the appropriate "discussion" pages. (Each page has its own associated "discussion" page: Click the "discussion" tab at the top the page.) If you aren't sure how to edit a wiki page, or how to start a new page, click here.
