Indie Game: The Movie


Posted on 03/12/2013 at 10:50 AM | Filed Under Blogs

I really enjoyed this movie as well. It was extra great seeing the process behind a couple of games I love (Fez and Super Meat Boy) and seeing someone I have talked to before do their thing (Edmund McMillen).

What I found most interesting was how zen Jonathon Blow was in comparison to the other guys. I also thought the movie humanized Phil Fish, who had gotten a pretty bad rap due to some of his arrogant behaviors and comments. It became apparent to me that the guy has some real self-esteem issues and cares immensely about how people perceive him and his work. It makes me not feel so bad about loving Fez so much.

I also felt pretty bad for these guys - they put it all on the line in a big way and hope that it pays off. They work extremely hard and lead a lifestyle I couldn't possibly imagine to realize their dreams. A lot of respect for these fellows and for the makers of the documentary who did an absolutely amazing job.

Haha, that was one of the other improvements I made. A little easter egg, if you will.

There's another one like it, but you might just have to find a page that doesn't exist Wink

If you go to a user's profile, there's a little envelope there. Click that and it will bring you to a screen for you to type out a private message and send it. It's a little clunky ATM, but I'll be improving that in the future.

It submits with javascript, so that's probably the issue. All of the fancy bits of the site mostly use javascript, so you might see some intermittent issues as a result of running NoScript. Not sure what Ghostery does, but I'm pretty sure NoScript is the issue.

There's also a possibility that your browser has the script cached and it'll work after a refresh of the front page. Hard to say.

I can definitely add that feature. I figured that I'd unleash it upon the world rather than continue to iterate upon it in a vacuum. I will add this to the list of work items.

You definitely need to check out the PSN game Tales From Space: Mutant Blobs Attack!. It's all sorts of fantastic. It ranks up there for me with those other two titles, and possibly even ahead of them.

Haha, sorry about that. I've done it myself a few times, especially when I'm working in my development environment. Angelo Grant mentioned it to me again the other day and I thought to myself, man, I need to fix that. It was pretty easy to do and I probably should've just done it to begin with. Oh well.
