itch.io

Games that try to simulate real-world activities (like driving vehicles or living the life of someone else) with as much realism as possible. Simulators generally require more study and orientation than arcade games, and the best simulators are also educational.

An American-based, globally-available crowdshare service, Kickstarter offers independent creators the chance to fundraise from their audiences. If a work is tagged "Kickstarter", it likely has run or is currently running a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter's platform to help pay for its development costs.
