Motives
Developing video games can be a very time consuming process, and independent games are often distributed for free. The motivation to create games varies per individual. The usual motivator behind independent game development is creative freedom, which is more easily attainable within smaller, more focused teams, and without the constraints of bigger investors risk aversion. Having a portfolio of video game works can also be beneficial to someone applying for a job. Solving problems in developing video games can help in solving other problems in engineering. Creating a small independent video game can help developers explore domains and receive feedback where an innovative idea might be further developed into a commercial game.

Famous quotes containing the word motives:
“The motives to actions and the inward turns of mind seem in our opinion more necessary to be known than the actions themselves; and much rather would we choose that our reader should clearly understand what our principal actors think than what they do.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
“Never ascribe to an opponent motives meaner than your own.”
—J.M. (James Matthew)
“Let no man write my epitaph; for as no man who knows my motives dare now vindicate them, let not prejudice or ignorance asperse them. Let them rest in obscurity and peace! Let my memory be left in oblivion, my tomb remain uninscribed, until other times and other men can do justice to my character.”
—Robert Emmet (1778–1803)
