Our SME, a rising star in the gaming industry, is looking to expand its distribution platform by developing a Progressive Web Application (PWA) that caters to indie game developers and enthusiasts. This platform will serve as a hub for discovering, purchasing, and reviewing indie games, utilizing modern web technologies to ensure a seamless user experience across devices.
Indie game developers seeking an accessible distribution platform and gamers looking for unique, independent game titles
Indie game developers often struggle to find accessible platforms for distributing their games, while gamers face difficulties in discovering new, unique indie titles. A dedicated PWA can bridge this gap by providing a user-friendly platform for both parties.
Indie developers and gamers are increasingly seeking streamlined, digital platforms for game distribution and purchase due to the growing popularity and market share of indie games, making them willing to invest in platforms that facilitate these needs.
Failure to develop this platform could result in lost opportunities to capture the growing indie game market, resulting in competitive disadvantage and missed revenue for our SME.
Current alternatives include established platforms like Steam and itch.io, but these often come with high fees or lack focus on indie games. Our platform will uniquely emphasize indie titles and community engagement.
Our platform's unique selling proposition revolves around offering a low-cost distribution alternative with a focus on indie games, enhanced by cutting-edge web technologies that provide superior user experience and community-driven features.
We plan to leverage targeted digital marketing campaigns, partnerships with indie game festivals, and influencer collaborations to attract both developers and gaming enthusiasts to our platform, bolstering our community and user base.
