Indie Phenomenon

Indie Phenomenon is a British social community platform for video games, gamers and content creators, hosting fan-run communities for over 1 million games. The platform is home to hundreds of thousands of creators and gamers from all corners of the world - ranging from novice gamers and indie developers, to high-profile influencers and some of the most reputable studios in the industry. It is also home to thousands of artists and animators drawing and animating for their favourite games, and sometimes doing so to produce games. Indie Phenomenon was founded by Intertale Games. It is now used more for creating posts, similar to how it is done in Twitter.

History
Indie Phenomenon was created by Intertale Games and its founder Hugo Murphy on 1 September 1995. Murphy's intention was to create a platform for gamers where new indie games could be discoverable and quickly playable, and where feedback could be provided directly to the developers, allowing them to continue improving their games. At the time of its launch, it included a public account system, game forums, a chatroom and a large games database, with each game uploaded with the creators' permission.

In 2007, Indie Phenomenon added a game distribution portal for Flash, Unity and Java games. It started accepting browser-based HTML5 games in February 2012.
