INDIE GAME: THE MOVIE

Well it's more sideburns-era Tardis if you remember that.
LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

I've just decided on my next project guys. I'm going to make a game adaptation of this movie.

I would TOTALLY buy that!
I wonder how the games feel about their makers? Think meat boy would be disappointed to find out that his maker was one of these guys? You could make a game show out of it! "Who made YOU!"
...I need to sleep more...

Indie Game: The Movie Showing: The Game: The Game Show
Must attach additional layers of meta
Do they even have indie game shows? Game shows seem like the kind of thing with a lot of overhead.
you may have not have heard of it, it's a site called RMN, it's probably too obscure for you to understand ~ post hipster

I was hipster before it was cool.
Me too, if there's any redemption to be had from it.

...I totally lost the concept of the word hipster... what is actually a hipster?
Probably a lot of things, one of them being an indiephile, in all fields.

there is no concept. the word's become a cudgel.
So i know it has been like 3 months. But i saw this movie on some stream just on a whim and actually... enjoyed it. A lot of the lines in the trailer are made fun of because they're a little ridiculous when taken out of context. Think the only dude I didn't like in the movie was the Braid creator, was so hilarious when he's like "they just didn't understand the meaning behind this game" and just fade cuts to soulja boy laughing at the game in some youtube video.
Everyone thinks Phil Fish is an egotistical dick, but the movie shows you where he's coming from. You basically have one or two people having the same amount of pressure as an entire dev studio. He seems self aware about his image in the indie community and actually beats himself a lot. These guys are under contract with the big M$, if the game doesn't do well they've basically spent the last 5 years doing nothing and getting nothing. Yeah the documentary is probably a little dramatic about it but every frackin documentary does that. idk I liked it.

Yeah I just saw this movie yesterday too (since it's been released to more general audiences now) and I thought it was pretty good. Yeah occasionally it was over the top emotional but I thought it mostly worked.
Who knew being a game developer would be so stressful :)
