I guess discussing the relationship between dojin scene and indie develepors is not allowed.

An article about an japanese indie gathering.
I thought you guys might find this interesting, I know I did.

The article doesn't talk about eroge's though. Or even about what we usually think, when someone uses the word dojin.

By contrast, Japan's indie scene is all but invisible. Japanese consumers have been slow to adopt digital distribution, making selling independent games impractical. The "indie" concept itself is suspect, commonly associated with amateur hobbyists, or "doujin."

Indie, to some Japanese gamers, is a downright dirty word, but James Mielke, a boisterous bleached-blond ex-pat living in Kyoto, hopes to change that.[/quote]
