homebrew
Homebrew generally refers to the process of making one's own beer, wine, or other alcoholic beverages at home. However, this term has also been adopted in other contexts like technology and gaming, where it refers to the creation or modification of hardware or software by individuals or small groups, typically for a specialized or non-commercial purpose, often re-purposing proprietary hardware or software for new uses or to modify their functionalities in ways that are not intended or sanctioned by the original manufacturer.

Homebrew
Homebrew is a term frequently applied to video games or other software produced by consumers to target proprietary hardware platforms not typically user-programmable or that use proprietary storage methods. This can include games developed with official development kits, such as Net Yaroze, Linux for PlayStation 2 or Microsoft XNA. Many homebrew games are offered as freeware, although others are offered for sale, and some can be quite costly. One popular type of homebrew game is the fangame. In Japan, these games are usually called "Dōjin soft".
