Indie Games/Indie Horror Games categories NEEDED

Indie games on Twitch have close to zero discoverability. As an indie horror streamer myself, it would be amazing if instead of choosing the game title (that most won’t know to look for) there was a category for Indie Horror Games. Indie Horror Games should have it’s own category much like Retro Games do. The same goes for all other genres of indie games. Even just an Indie Games category in general would help. Not only would it give more discoverability to indie game streamers, but also to the indie game developers as well. I know many other streamers who would like to see this happen! Thank you for your time.

    I love that this simple request was added over 2 years ago and still no dice...
  • MeriDionman commented  ·   ·  Report

    absolutely right, its my primary content is promoting new indie games in the horror genre
  • Nerdy_Anarchist commented  ·   ·  Report

    New to streaming, and I love playing indie horror games.. Its what I mainly play. Sad to see no Category for Indie Horror games. Or just horror games in general..

  • Rhoskanobi commented  ·   ·  Report

    I like the idea and would definitely use it
  • housestationlive commented  ·   ·  Report

    i'm actually using "retro gaming" for indies games and i wanted to figure if there were a better solution?
  • PookieVideo commented  ·   ·  Report

    Sure. Twitch don't give a sh!t and we will never see the idea
  • GothicJawa commented  ·   ·  Report

    Indie horror is constantly being innovated. Not only that but recent surveys have shown a very large uptick in the popularity of horror games in general, and this is no doubt due to indie developers.

    So regardless of providing a community with their own category and the benefits therein, you can also leverage this opportunity to increase Twitch's own exposure and coverage of a continuously growing and evolving genre.

    Would love this! There's a huge community within indie horror games!

    I really like watching indie horror games but can't really find those on twitch. Would like to discover new streamers who stream indie games.
  • Kharrmah commented  ·   ·  Report

    I really hope we can get some movement behind this. We need this category so bad!

    This would help grow a community closely associated with YouTube's culture grow on Twitch too so that the two can feed into one another.
  • xPrayZ_TV commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please twitch.. do this one thing right..
  • Danky commented  ·   ·  Report

  • Azrhyga commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes, Twitch needs a category for indie games and indie horror games too
    I hope Twitch implement it
  • xDianax commented  ·   ·  Report

    This would help out the horror streamers and the indie devs so much, since games/demos is very broad! Yes please give us an indie /indie horror category! Thank you.
