So, the first four Scribblenauts games were produced by 5th Cell and WB games. After 5th Cell declared bankrupcy, the rights to that franchise were bought out by 505 games, an indie company (Who created Terraria, Starforge, and more.) This made me curious. Is Scribblenauts (Or Drawn To Life, since they were both bought out by 505 games.) an Indie game?

Is Scribblenauts indie?

Scribblenauts is an emergent puzzle action video game developed by 5th Cell and published by Warner Bros. Therefore no, it is not an indie game as it was published by Warner Bros as well as Konami for the Japanese localised release. To further this point, 505 Games is, in fact, a publisher, not a developer.

The game was planned to be a free-to-play action-RPG, however, it didn't reach the funding goal of $500,000 and development stopped after the unsuccessful campaign. On March 24, 2016, following the cancellation of the mobile game Scribblenauts: Fighting Words by publisher Warner Bros.
