Indie Game

What made me happy today? Indie Game: the movie.
I finally got around to watching Indie Game: the movie. As the title says, it's a documentary about indie game developers. In this case: Edmund McMillen and Tommy Refenes developing and releasing Super Meat Boy, Phil Fish during the development of Fez, and Jonathan Blow, who reflects on the success of Braid.
At the time of the film, Braid had already been released. Super Meat Boy was released during the documentary, and Fez seemed to be stuck in development hell. I found it very interesting to see what goes on behind the scenes; what it takes to make an indie game, and how this effects everyone working on it or related to those who are working in it.
It's a documentary that really drags you along. You see everything. The joy, the anger, the doubts, the tears and smiles. I strongly recommend you watch this if you're interested in gaming. It really makes you appreciate the small gaming companies and independent developers more. I immediately went to Steam and got me all the games mentioned in the documentary :-)
So grab some popcorn, pick up a copy of Indie Game: the movie, watch it and get the games! You'll love it :-)
