Indie Game: The Movie Trailer Likely to Make You Tear Up
Yeah I saw the trailer earlier, it's excellent and looks like it'll be a really neat documentary. I'm interested in seeing what it has to say of Jenova Chen and Jason Rohrer.
Ugh..the guy at 2.09 has his entire wall covered in pokemon cards and 2 entire shelves of anime style plush dolls. This is the same guy who said he wants to interact with people but not talk to them because he probably wont like them.
Most people would make some comment about asbergers or something, ill simply call him a douche.

This is exactly what this trailer does.I'm not a huge fan of the term "indie" because it forces developers into a stereotype
Yeah I found that opener by Klepek kinda odd. He tosses out stereotypes all the time, why "indie" is sort of not cool to him who knows.
Example?
It's nice when this Kickstarter stuff works out, but it doesn't always..
I just found out about a cool indie movie about the rise of punk rock or pop punk or whatever called "One Nine Nine Four". The filmmaker raised over $15 grand on Kickstarter to "finish it," and it's been stuck in limbo for over a year because of the music rights. I'll bet the people who pledged $100+ feel great about that..
ANYWHO, can't wait to watch this.. And maybe play freakin FEZ one day!!

@HomemadeZiggurat: They will be appearing at some point either in the feature film or the special edition, more details on their kickstarter page.
Thanks, that's good to hear. I guess I can be in for $15.
That being said, I can't wait for this. If they release a bluray, I'll happily drop $45 or so to see this. These guys' work is very inspiring to a young filmmaker. It is amazing to me that a documentary about guys making games in their apartments can look so Goddamned gorgeous.
Oh right Bob's game. For some reason I though he was Tom. By the way Jim Sterling on Podcastle (a loooong dead Destructoid UK podcast) at one point shared his impressions on the demo he got. From what I remember it was like a collection of bad jokes in a pokemon-like world exploration shell. Sadly it's probably lost with a lot of other episodes of Destructoid podcasts because of bad decision to split podcast and blog pages but not update the podcast page. Anyway. Bob's game. Check it out. It's a crazy story.
@ZagZagovich: I'll have to look for that Podcastle, I've enjoyed listening to Sterling on The Electric Hydra. As for Bob's Game, I had been watching it for a while (even got a reply from him on a YouTube trailer he posted). What a strange chain of events...
These guys look like a bunch of douchebags. Stop trying to force some weird artistic justification into your games. We played Braid because it was a fun puzzle game, not because 'it goes into deepest emotions'. Its a video game, not art. Get out of your own arse.Just for balance and perspective I wanted to share that for me personally a large part of why I was excited to play Braid was because it looked to tap into some deeper emotions. And I felt it delivered on that.
It looks great and this totaly makes me tear up. Also im not one of those people who thinks johnathon blow is pretentious or anything, but him talking about how he put his "deepest flaws and vunerabilities" into Braid make me just roll my god damn eyes. Playing braid i can say he never did anything like that....
as much as i loved braid, im getting REAAALLLY sick of jonathan blow.
he made one game, and he has been riding it since.
