Why Indies Should Care About Web Gaming | Romy Halfweeg, Poki

from IndieGameBusiness® · host Jay Powell

In this episode of IndieGameBusiness, we’re joined by Romy Halfweeg, Business Development Manager at Poki, to break down how indie developers can succeed in the growing world of web gaming. Romy shares an overview of the browser gaming space, how it has evolved, and where Poki fits today with a catalog of over 1600 games. Drawing from her experience as a former indie developer, she explains how that perspective shapes how Poki works with developers and what they look for when signing new games. We’ll dive into who the web gaming audience is, what gameplay loops perform best, and which monetization strategies actually work. Romy also covers the technical considerations developers need to think about when building for the web, and how indie teams can position themselves to take advantage of this platform. If you’re looking for new distribution channels, revenue streams, or ways to reach massive audiences without traditional storefronts, this episode is packed with practical insight.
