We have a very different mindset to the one that drove us to take Darwinia to the 360 in 2005 and we're a lot more savvy now.' We make Original Video Games and ports need to be handled by teams that specialize in that. We won't develop for Microsoft or Sony again, because it took too long and sapped our resources. We're focused on getting Prison Architect released on PC and we've been amazed by the response to our tiered store. It's just me and Chris now supported by freelancers.

Gone is the big office and full time members of staff. 'We're much more agile than we once were. The experience of producing Darwinia+ on Xbox 360, disappointing sales of Multiwinia, and the scuttling of Subversion some five years after work began on the title necessitated adaptations. With lower barriers to entry and a more competitive market for gamers' attention, Introversion has changed the way it does business. Back in those days marketing was easy, because there weren't many indie devs and Introversion could trade on the fact that we were 'living the dream.' Now being an indie is much more common, so getting press coverage is harder, but the routes to market are no longer controlled by a few key people and are significantly more ubiquitous.' 'Once those relationships were established, it was easy-ish to make money from selling games. 'A decade ago you had to fight to get in the room with key decision makers who would make or break your game,' Morris said. As co-founder Mark Morris told GamesIndustry International, what used to be hard has become easy, and what used to be easy is suddenly quite hard. The developer of Darwinia and Prison Architect was founded in 2001, long before Kickstarter, Steam, digital distribution on consoles, and everything else that would turn the world of independent game development upside-down. Introversion was indie before indie was in.
