Kaneva.com is a marketplace and software tool that lets people develop, play and sell video games. Kaneva, currently in beta mode, is billing itself as the "world's first digital entertainment marketplace." Kaneva says individuals and game studios can make games using the Kaneva Game Editor. Kaneva is also offering a royalty split for games and other content sold on Kaneva's marketplace. It will be interesting to see how popular these types of marketplaces become and if an independent game underground will be able to develop. There have also been rumors that Nintendo is going to provide a way for
independently published games to be played on the Nintendo Revolution,
the next version of the Nintendo gaming system.
