Homebrew is a term frequently applied to video games or other software produced by consumers to target proprietary hardware platforms (usually with hardware restrictions) not typically user-programmable or that use proprietary storage methods. If you didn't understand most of what I just said, don't worry, I don't either; I just took that from Wikipedia.

Examples of this generation's Homebrew development kits include: Wii Homebrew, and the xbox 360's XNA Game Studio.

In the Homebrew Subforum, users may post custom additions to the game, whether they be modded or created from the game's very own creation tools; this can be anything from characters, stages, items, events, and so on.
