PC gaming isn't dead. With major PC games delayed and released with their console counterparts, like BioWare's Dragon Age: Origins, gamers can easily turn to independently made games that deliver a big bang for their buck. These indies are filling digital distributors, such as Steam and Xbox Live, in recent years, thanks to award events like the Independent Games Festival, which elevate tiny developers with no financial backing from mainstream publishers.

Nice list.
I’ll add 9th Dawn III to that list. Great game made by one person.
Always Sometimes Monster is made by two people technically, but let’s do an honorable mention.
I’d add HABROXIA 1 & 2 on here as well. Berry does pixel wonders with the Game Maker engine.

Technically speaking Minecraft should have been on the list. But it's nice to see these single devs thrive.
Theyr is no game made by one man. Theyr is always a team of developers behind them.
However there is always someone who comes up with the idea of a game.
When i would give an example of one man with that idea for me its Hideo Kojima....
No there are certainly games made by 1 person, start to finish. Maybe after it launches and becomes a big enough success the 1 person will reach out for help maintaining it or updating, but games have been made by 1 person.
Unless of course you are being insanely nit-picky and trying to claim "the engine they used was made by Unity" or "the assets they put in were made by someone else"
but its not a very good defense of pc gaming....
They make good games like flower for example. I dont think there independent though. Im pretty sure there owned by sony.
